You might be doing something wrong.Here are some ways that may ruin a good conversation with an American.Being strangeDont follow people around and stare at them without saying anything.If_you_want_to_talk_to_someone，it_is_best_to_make_a_move_immediately.Dont think about itjust do it.Speak first and think later.Try saying.“Hi，how are you？”Make quick eye contact and smile.Dont ask，“How much did you pay for that coat？” Why? Because Americans avoid talking about money until they feel close to each other.This can be offensive (冒犯的)It is not a proper topic to discuss between strangers，unless you are buying something from someone.Try “Thats a great coat! Where did you find it？” instead.Using too much slang (俚语) or informal speech Dont say，“Yo，whuzzup my homey？”Why？Because slang like this is usually only used in situations where you already know the person，not the first time you meet.This also depends on the situation.In general，its better to say，“Hi，hows it going？”，an informal but more proper greeting.Insulting (侮辱) the personDont say，“You look so tired！” Why? Telling someone they look tired is kind of an insult if you dont know them well.While it may be a statement of caring or concern for some people，“You look tired” will be considered by many people the same as saying they look horrible.No one wants to look horrible.Meeting someone for the first time is a great opportunity to make a white liegive them a thumb up.Try “I like your style！” instead.If you keep the above ways in mind and avoid them when starting a conversation with Americans，youll find it much easier to talk with them.【语篇解读】作者告诉我们第一次跟美国人聊天时应该注意哪些问题。1According to the underlined sentence，the writers attitude can be inferred to be_.AworriedBsurprisedChorribleDsupportive【解析】作者观点题。根据第二段的If you want to talk to someone，it is best to make a move immediately.可知作者对这一做法是表示“赞成”的。【答案】D2What is the second way that may ruin a good conversation with an American according to Paragraph 3?ADont be offensive.BTalking about clothes.CTalking about money.DDont be too close to each other.【解析】主旨大意题。根据第三段的Dont ask，“How much did you pay for that coat？”Why？Because Americans avoid talking about money.可知主要是让我们避免谈论钱，故选C。【答案】C3When were talking to Americans for the first time，we should_.Ause slangBuse informal wordsCspeak kind of formallyDmake short eye contact【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段的标题Using too much slang (俚语)or informal speech及Dont say，“Yo，whuzzup my homey？”Why？Because slang like this is usually only used in situations where you already know the person，not the first time you meet.可知说话太不正式不好，故不应该这样做。【答案】C4Which of the following structures can best describes the relation among the paragraphs?【解析】文章结构题。根据文章内容，可知本文是总分总的结构，故选D。【答案】D.完形填空 【导学号：20030037】I didnt take very good care of myself after my business failed.I spent the past four years _1_on drugs and alcohol and even stole things from my mother.One day，I sat on the floor，_2_ the mess in my apartment with garbage everywhere.I felt like a bird in a _3_ without anyones help.Suddenly，I _4_ my best friend Karen in high school.We had lost _5_ for a few years，but I could remember her clearly.I still had Karens _6_ somewhere.What if I called her?“Hi，” I said _7_，“Is that Karen？”“Yes，” she said.She paused.“Mark，is that you？Good to hear your voice again.” She seemed _8_ to talk to me.I told her about my _9_ and my problem with my mom.She listened，and even told me something funny to make me _10_.Karen and I _11_ see quite a lot of each other.Somehow wed just liked each other，but I wondered why I hadnt kept up with her.On the phone，I told Karen I had made many _12_.Yet，she told me she believed me.If Karen could believe me，maybe I could believe in myself，too.Then I decided to _13_ up the apartment.From then on，_14_ I hesitated about how to reach out to my mom or find a job，Karen _15_ me.She made me realize that I hadnt _16_ to my mom for a long time.I started to get the courage to call my mom.She was _17_ to forgive me!
