If you travel to other countries or have friends from abroad, do you know how to use small talk to make conversation? In Britain, the best topic is weather. British weather is changing by saying “Its a lovely day today, isnt it?” Besides weather, its good to talk about gardens with English people. You could say, “Those roses look really beautiful, dont they?” English people love their pets. So its also nice to start with “ What a lovely dog! What is his name?” In America, people like to talk about sport news, such as American football and basketball. Americans also talk about clothes. So you might say, “Its a nice shirt! Where did you get it?” Weather is a safe topic there, too. There are also a lot of topics to avoid during small talk. Dont ask people “How old are you?” Never ask: “How much money do you make?” It makes people uncomfortable. Dont ask strangers whether they are married. Politics or religion(宗教) is not a good topic.64. Which topic is safe in Britain and America? A. dogB. ageC. weatherD. money65. The underlined word avoid means _.A. 注意B. 谈论 C.提问D. 避免66.

But some of them dont really know how to eat well when eating out.Here is some important advice. The first is to eat less fast food. The most obvious harm of eating too much fast food is weight gaining because of too much fat.

So dont eat it too often.Soda is another thing you should watch out for. Cokes and other sodas contain a lot of sugar and can slow down a persons calcium absorption, so its best to drink as little soda as possible.Food in the dinning-room may not be as tasty as fast food, but its actually easier to make healthy choices. Human bodies need variety. You can have a dinner that balances lean (瘦肉) proteins (蛋白质), vitamins and complex carbohydrates (碳水化合物). In other words, a meal with fish or meat, vegetables and some bread or rice will provide you with most nutrients that the body needs.Some snacks (零食), on the other hand, will help keep you going until your next big meal.
