M Oh hi, Mandy. I just wanted to ask how the training day went. I'm sorry I couldn't be there.

F Hi, Jim. Yes, we missed you. Well, it was good overall. There was a rather familiar presentation of theory, and then some very informative' case studies to discuss. We also spent time reviewing important staffing issues, and there were some tips given on teamwork that we can definitely put into practice.

M Sounds excellent.

F Yes, although the afternoon session seemed to go on and on. I found it hard to concentrate, but when I looked at the handout afterwards for the main points, it was very brief, and didn't say much. Anyway, there's another one next month. I've suggested the training manager consults with the HR supervisor in setting it up, to make sure it's all relevant. I hope you'll be able to make it.

M Yes, I'll be free for that one.

听力原文：Denis: Hi, there, Fiona.

Fiona: Hi, Denis.

Denis: This semester is coming to the end at last. After a semester of hard study, I really need a good rest.

Fiona: Have you got any idea for your holiday？

Denis: Yes, I'm going to join an Italian tour.

Fiona: Great.

Denis: How about you？

Fiona: I will go to Australia to study English.

Denis: Why to Australia？

Fiona: Because it is the closest English speaking country to Thailand.

Denis: When will you leave and how long will you stay there？

Fiona: I'm going to leave next Monday and spend the whole holiday there.

Denis: So, that is to say, you are going to study in a summer school.

Fiona: Not exactly a summer school. It is only a more relaxed way to study English in Australia—as part of a vacation. Visitors on a tourist visa can undertake English study for up to three months.

Denis: Besides studying in class, are there any out-of-class activities？

Fiona: Certainly there are. One particular popular option is called Foundation Studies. It combines preparation for undergraduate university studies with improving one's ability to speak, read, understand and listen to English. Another popular option is a "farmstay" where visitors are able to learn English while experiencing life on a cattle or sheep station.

Denis: It must be very interesting. Have you registered for a "farmstay"？

Fiona: Yes, I will stay in a sheep station for two weeks.

Denis: It's so attractive. I should have talked to you earlier. Then maybe we could go to Australia this vacation together.

Fiona: It's a pity. But I am going first and then I can tell about you my experience there. So you may have a better preparation.

(20)

A．Italy.

B．England.

C．Australia.

D．Thailand.

"Hi there. How's it going？" "Oh, fine, fine. How about this weather, huh？" "Well, I guess

"Hi there. How's it going？"

"Oh, fine, fine. How about this weather, huh？"

"Well, I guess we can always use the rain."

What's that？ This story？ Oh, just a little look at small talk. You know, those seemingly meaningless conversations you have dozens of times a day. Maybe you're waiting for the elevator. Or in a line at the bank. It all seems pretty trivial. Idle chatter about traffic doesn't do much more than fill the air with empty words that are quickly forgotten. But you should know that small talk actually has a big place in our lives.

Pat Oliver, assistant professor on arts, says that, "Left unchecked, small talk can be an invasion. It's so powerful. It does something to you." "Every morning after spending an hour and a half on the freeway I start the day with small talk with my secretary," Oliver says, "If I don't make small connection with another person, I can't work."

What causes it？ As a rule, you're either trying to force something into your life, or you're using conversation as an invisible force field to keep them out. You can be wanting to connect with another person, and small talk is your introduction to more meaningful conversation.

The way people use small talk is usually determined by where they happen to be at the time. Take the elevator, for instance. Now there's prime territory. Nobody knows anyone and there's no reason to start a conversation, but invariably, someone does. Making conversation in such peaceful social settings, according to Oliver, "can confirm your territory. It's a way of feeling liked and accepted."

The topics of small talk don't matter. In fact, you don't want anything more taxing than the weather or the traffic. It's non-threatening talk in a threatening situation. However, the rules change quickly when you're with lots of people doing lots of talking.

Let's say you're at a party. Now it's time to use small talk as a way of making others feel more comfortable around you, so you don't look silly standing by the food table alone all night.

"Small talk'", as interpreted by the author, ______.

A．is not as idle as it may seem to be

B．is usually meaningless and therefore useless

C．has no real function in communication at all

D．is restricted to certain topics only
