Ⅳ.阅读理解

Have you ever found yourself waiting at the stop for your bus to arrive and have a stranger ask a commonplace (普通的) question?Or have you stood in line waiting for a coffee and feel the need to just look over to the person next to you and ask about the weather?

This is small talk,and despite the name,it’s actually a big part of daily life.

“Small talk may seem trivial (微不足道的),but it’s a natural way for people to connect.It may seem like a waste of time.But it serves a vital role in our social interactions.Big relationships are built on small talk,” Lindy Pegler,who has a master’s degree in psychology,wrote on Medium.

In fact,we spend a lot of our time making small talk.Often,we find ourselves making small talk with the same people on a regular basis.Coming up with small conversations is the foundation of these relationships.

The benefits of such conversations can actually contribute to our happiness and benefit our lives as a whole.In a study cited by The New York Times,researchers found that having a healthy number of acquaintances and maintaining these relationships contribute to one’s sense of belonging to a community.

So how does one start making small talk?It can be as simple as complimenting (称赞) one’s shirt,asking about their day or commenting on the traffic.“First and foremost,small talk is an act of politeness,” Pegler noted.“Our small talk at our first meeting is our chance to show who we are,” she added.

Who knows where this can lead?Nowadays,the small connections we make can lead to big results.You might find someone who has a common interest,or maybe even someone who turns out to be a close friend.There is one thing for sure:making small talk can brighten our day—even if it’s just a nice comment or a thoughtful question.

So the next time you find yourself waiting for the bus or checking your watch while you wait in a line,take the opportunity to look up and talk to someone around you.After all,it takes a small connection to lead to a larger one.

Recently,we held a heated discussion about how to live harmoniously in the school.Here are the opinions of our group. 

First of all,as middle school students,we should be kind and friendly to others,always ready to give a helping hand to those in need.Besides,we must behave ourselves,obeying both class and school rules and doing what we can for the class.Also,it matters a great deal to be honest and trustworthy in our daily life.Secondly,we should respect the old and love the young,especially showing concern for our parents and our teachers by understanding them and following their instructions.Last but not least,we should learn to communicate with others.Try to be considerate and put ourselves in others’ shoes,especially when frictions come.

We hope all of us can enjoy our school life. 

Ⅵ.读后续写

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I met DeDe during my second year in high school.She was in a class that helps students with a variety of mental and physical disabilities.I had never communicated with them until my field hockey(曲棍球) coach who was also their teacher,asked me to help her to meet DeDe when her bus dropped her off for the basketball game.

On that January evening,I saw an electric wheelchair with DeDe in it.The first feature I noticed about DeDe was her smile,which was as vibrant(有活力的) as the sun on a summer day,“I came to pick you up for your first basketball game,” I said.“I’m really excited about that,” she replied enthusiastically.

I had never worked with special needs students and didn’t know what to expect,but DeDe could carry on a full conversation,and I could understand 90% of her words.She blew me away with her intelligence and confidence.Soon we became close friends.

One day as I drove to DeDe’s house,I thought about my life.I couldn’t think of any great achievements,yet I had the ability to succeed.DeDe couldn’t go through a normal day of high school,and she didn’t have a regular social life.But she was always joyful and devoted herself to her interest.At that time,I was deeply in love with field hockey,but my mother didn’t allow me to play it in the third year.I didn’t know what to do.

Pulling up to her house,I saw DeDe’s grandmother.She called me inside to talk.“DeDe really thinks a lot of you and I feel so blessed that you have come into her life.It’s not a complete day if DeDe doesn’t mention you.” I felt so touched.I had never known how much I meant to DeDe before.

注意:续写词数应为150左右。

So I decided to talk to DeDe directly about my problems.                                                              

I thought DeDe was right.                                                                                                                     

参考范文

So I decided to talk to DeDe directly about my problems.DeDe smiled as soon as she saw me.I kept talking about how much I loved field hockey and why my mother didn’t want me to play it anymore.DeDe listened to me carefully.After a moment of silence,she said,“As one of the people with disabilities,I think it’s lucky to have the ability to do what you really love.Maybe your mother just doesn’t know what field hockey means to you,but you can explain it to her.”

I thought DeDe was right.That night when I came back home,I had a conversation with my mother.“Mom,playing field hockey is not just an interest to me,it will also be my lifelong hobby.The sport gives me confidence,” I explained.And I promised that I would keep a balance between my study and sports.My mother was greatly touched and finally agreed that I could continue playing field hockey.I’m grateful to DeDe until now.
