1. 阅读理解
We've all been there: in a lift, in line at
the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply
focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable
silence.
What's the problem? It's possible that we
all have compromised conversational intelligence. It's more likely that none of
us start a conversation because it's awkward and challenging, or we think it's
annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers,
consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it's an invaluable
social practice that results in big benefits.
Dismissing small talk as unimportant is
easy, but we can't forget that deep relationships wouldn't even exist if it
weren't for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease(润滑剂) for social communication, says
Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana
University Southeast. "Almost every great love story and each big business
deal begins with small talk," he explains. "The key to successful
small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with
them."
In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate
professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop.
One group was asked to seek out an interaction(互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak
only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their
server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop
experience. "It's not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to
your husband," says Dunn. "But interactions with peripheral(边缘的) members of our social network matter
for our well-being also."
Dunn believes that people who reach out to
strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others.
Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk.
"Small talk is the basis of good manners," he says.
