Making a good conversation with a stranger can be difficult. Here are some ways to try if you don’t know what to do:
① Talk about a topic common to both of you. The topic can be the food or the weather. For example, “How do you like the food?” But keep it on the positive side! 【小題1】
②【小題2】      “What’s keeping you busy these days?” is a good question if you are talking to a person who doesn’t have an office job.
③【小題3】      For example, if you ask, “Where are you from?”, an interesting follow-up question might be, “What would your life be like if you still lived there?”
④ Ask getting-to-know-you questions. You can ask, “What are your favorite newspapers and magazines? What websites do you often visit?”【小題4】
⑤ React (作出反應(yīng)) to what a person is saying. If you are trying to make the conversation interesting, but the person never reacts, you will feel unhappy.【小題5】      And if he offers some surprising information, react with surprise.

“Everything happens for the best,” my mother said whenever I faced disappointment. “If you can carry on, one day something good will happen.”
After graduating from college in 1932, I decided to try for a job in radio, then work my way up to sports announcer(播音員). I took the bus to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station. But I was refused every time. In one studio, a nice lady told me that big stations didn’t want to accept inexperienced persons. “Go to the countryside and find a small station that’ll give you a chance,” she said.
I returned home, Dixon in Illinois. While there were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Smith Ward had opened a store and wanted a local sportsman to manage its sports department. Since I had played high school football in Dixon, I applied(申請). The job sounded just right for me. But I still failed in the interview. At that moment, mom’s words came to my mind: “Everything happens for the best.” Dad offered me a car to look for a job. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport in Iowa. The program director, named Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired an announcer.
As I left his office, I felt sad. I asked aloud, “How can a man become a sports announcer if he can’t get a job in a radio station?”
I was waiting for the lift when I heard MacArthur calling, “What did you say about sports? Do you know anything about football?” Then he made me stand before a microphone and asked me to broadcast an imaginary game. As a result, I did a wonderful job and was told to broadcast Saturday’s game!

Our school doesn’t have many parties, but this year Ms Cipriano said we could have one. The fourth grade wanted the theme to be “Under the Sea”, but the fifth grade wanted it to be “Outer Space”. After a long discussion, it was decided to be the former one.
Everyone had to be on a team, and everyone had to help do something. My team was in charge of special effects. Gary came up with a great idea. He got two big, old fishing nets which were once used by his father when he went fishing on the sea. Gary, Jemma, and I used ropes to tie the nets to the ceiling of the dining hall, and it looked really great. Then we cut out fish shapes from colored paper and stuck them on the nets.
Everyone seemed to go to the party in one of three costumes: some kind of fish, a mermaid, or Neptune — the “King of the Sea”.
The dining hall looked great. Jemma’s father had put up colored lights for us. We were feeling proud of our work when the disaster happened. The nets fell down. We were all caught in the fish nets.

Every year in April, students at Renmin University of China have more pleasure than other students in Beijing. Why? Because they get a week off in the middle of term, the so-called(所謂) spring break.
“It’s been a tradition of our school for years,” said Wang Yueran, 20, a student at Renmin University. He organized a weeklong trip to Sichuan with 12 classmates last year.
But having fun is just one part of the spring break. Field trips, voluntary work, and social projects are all on students’ to-do lists. The Chinese proverb says “reading 10,000 books and traveling 10,000 miles”. It means experience is as important as theory. But while Chinese universities have the tradition of spring outings, what’s the aim of making spring break?
Qin Jianguo, from the student affairs office at Shenzhen University, thinks the idea of the spring break in some universities in China comes from the intention(目的) of pushing students out of the ivory tower(象牙塔) to get experience in their life. Many countries have similar vacations in the middle of the semester for students to do things they like. Taking Japan as an example, instead of partying like the US, many Japanese students choose to work as interns(實(shí)習(xí)生).
Besides Renmin University, only a few other universities in China, such as Yantai University, have a spring break for their students. Wei Xiang, a professor(教授) at Beijing International Studies University, said that the spring break is a good experiment for universities to give students more choices to arrange their own leisure(休閑) and study activities.
【小題1】Why do students at Renmin University of China have more pleasure than other students in Beijing in April?
【小題2】 Besides having fun, what are also on students’ to-do lists?
【小題3】According to Qin Jianguo, what is the intention of the spring break in some universities?
【小題4】 What do many Japanese students do during spring break?
【小題5】Do most of Chinese universities have spring break now?
