,Small Talk,Module 1,Small Talk in America Many Americans find silence uncomfortable during a buffet(自助餐) or a formal dinner.So in the States there is a widespread practice of making “small talk” in certain social situations.Small talk deals with various topics superficially(表面地)，simply for the sake of keeping a conversation going.The topics might include the weather，sports，college courses，clothing，food，etc.Small talk is especially useful at social gatherings when you meet someone for the first time，or when polite conversation is expected but no serious discussion is desired.,话题导入,It is common but not necessarily expected that one knows someone in a group before engaging in his or her conversation.At a party actually，a simple “May I join you？” and a sel-fintroduction are normally sufficient to gain acceptance into a group and to join in a conversation.In some places，such as the lobby of a concert hall or theater，a waiting room or a classroom，it is common for strangers to start a conversation even without an introduction. Despite the informality that pervades(遍布) the US society，people in the States expect those whom they speak with to put aside whatever they are doing and listen. As a rule，the conversation distance between two people is at least two or three feet.Standing at a closer range will make many Americans feel uneasy.,True (T)or False (F) 1.Small talk is especially useless at social gatherings when you meet someone for the first time.( ) 2.It is not necessary that the people who join in the conversation know each other.( ) 3.It is common for strangers to start a conversation even without an introduction in some places.( ) 4.While having a conversation，Americans like to stand close to each other.( ),查看答案,F,T,T,F,PART 1,读前清障,PART 2,课文理解,Period One Introduction & Vocabulary and ReadingPre-reading,PART 1,读前清障,匹配左边的单词/短语与右边的汉语意思 第一组 1.informal A.adj.预先的，在前的 2.serious B.adj.非正式的 3.confidently C.v.缺乏，缺少 4.lack D.adv.自信地 5.advance E.adj.严肃的,查看答案,第二组 6.nod A.v.叹气，叹息 7.yawn B.v.打呵欠 8.sigh C.v.点头 9.opportunity D.n.责任；义务 10.obligation E.n.机会,查看答案,第三组 11.small talk A.把目光从移开 12.make friends B.了解(到)；找出(信息) 13.be nervous about C.对神经紧张/害怕/胆怯/焦虑不安 14.think of D.想起，回忆起 15.look away from E.除此之外，另外 16.social rules F.社交规则 17.in addition G.闲谈，聊天 18.find out H.交朋友，建立友谊,查看答案,PART 2,课文理解,Step 1 Fast-reading .Skim the passage and choose the purpose of it.
