Day4
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出正确的填入空白处。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How did your friendships begin? Most start with a short conversation on a random (随意的) day. Asking about a homework assignment (任务) in class or complaining about your sore legs after playing in a soccer game, you found your best pal by accident.
“Small talk is where all your relationships begin,” Forbes magazine summed up.
The following is a five-step guide to making small talk from Bernardo J. Carducci, the director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast, US. Let’s have a look.
1. ___________
Begin by talking about the setting (环境), such as the weather outside or the room you are in (“It’s cold in here, isn’t it?”). The purpose of talking about the setting is to show the other person that you are willing to have a conversation.
2. ___________
You should mention something about yourself, such as your name. A good personal introduction helps move the conversation forward.
3. ___________
At this point, you and your conversation partner need to find common ground. This is a good time to ask questions or refer back to things you’ve said or heard earlier. Don’t worry if it gets quiet. The other person is probably just thinking of something to say.
4. ___________
The goal is to keep the conversation going. At every stage, you should be careful not to talk too much. But don’t let the other person dominate (支配) the conversation either. If that starts to happen, mention something about yourself when he or she takes a breath.
5. ___________
When ending a conversation, let the person know you’ll be leaving soon, express gratitude (感激) for the conversation and set the stage for a future conversation. For example, you could say, “I really must be going soon, but I had a great time chatting with you. I really liked hearing your opinion about that new movie. Here’s my phone number. Call or text me if you know of any other movies you think I might enjoy.”

A. A polite ending
B. Getting started
C. Looking for topics
D. Sticking to one topic
E. Broadening the conversation
F. Sharing your hobbies
G. The personal introduction

Day5
阅读下面的材料，并根据材料选择正确的答案。
Goodreads is a free website for you! Imagine it as a large library that you can wander through and see everyone’s bookshelves, their reviews, and their ratings (评分). You can also post your own reviews and catalog what you have read, are currently (目前) reading, and plan to read in the future. Don’t stop there – join a discussion group, start a book club, contact an author and even post your own writing.
Sign Up
Signing up is simple – you just enter your name, email, and a password.
How to Start
To start using Goodreads you should select books that you have read, that you are reading or that you want to read and add them to “your books”. You can do this by searching for books (our catalogue already has most books), by looking at your friends’ lists or by entering a book we don’t have yet.
Shelves
You start with three default (默认的) shelves (read, currently-reading, and to-read), but you can also create your own bookshelves. Shelf names range from classics and coffee-table-books to children’s-lit (儿童文学) and sci-fi (科幻小说) – you can create any category that suits your personal taste.
Add Your Books
To add books to your shelves, search by author name or book title. When you find the book you want, you can either click on one of the five stars to rate the book immediately, or click on “add to my books” to choose a shelf, write a review, record the date your read the book and even note whether you own a copy.
Finding Book Recommendations (推荐)
Our mission (任务) is to help you find new and interesting books by letting you see what your friends are reading. Whenever you view a book, we always show your friends’ reviews first. When you log in, the homepage shows all the latest reviews from your friends. You can also compare your book list to that of another Goodreads member to see if you share the same taste! Click the “explore” tab to browse (浏览) our top shelves and find popular books (among your friends or all of Goodreads).
Join or Start a Discussion Group
Groups are the perfect way to bring people together to discuss literature. Some groups are just for close friends or local book clubs; others are for organizations such as literary magazines, university alumni (校友) or just about any other group conceivable (想得到的).
