     Walking up to a stranger and starting a conversation matters much to making new friends. Making small
talk can also lead to important business relationships, but it takes confidence, preparation and practice. Do it
well, and people will feel relaxed with you and enjoy your company. So how can you learn the art of small
talk?
     Before you go to a business convention (正式会议) or other social situation, prepare three things that you
can talk about. They can be something in the news, a good movie or a popular sports team"s recent win. Then
you have a topic to start with when you meet a new person. Also, don"t wait for someone to approach you.
Look for someone who is standing alone, and start a conversation. Try a simple statement that you share
something in common:"The food looks delicious." Or There sure are a lot of people here." Then introduce
yourself, "Hi, I"m Helen. (Hold out your hand for a handshake.) I just moved here, and I love this weather."
     After you start a conversation, keep it going. Instead of asking questions that can be answered with a yes
or no, ask open-ended questions like,"What do you think of the meeting?" It"s time to move on once you"ve
made a good impression. Be bright (smart and cheerful), be brief (don"t talk too long), and be gone (there are
more people to meet).
     Use a goodbye line. To someone you enjoyed meeting at a gathering, say,"I really must be going, but it
was really nice to meet you. Here"s my card." If they hand you their card, be sure to show interest in it. Read
it over briefly, and then put it in your pocket to show that it is valued.
     Making small talk will open doors to meeting many interesting people. When you show an interest in others,
they become interested in talking to you. Listening carefully and remembering a fascinating (迷人的) bit of
information about each person will come in use if you meet again.

     All over the world, and for many different reasons, there are millions of people who never eat meat.
These people are called vegetarians. To people who eat meat, being a vegetarian may seem like a very
strange thing. But they won"t eat meat for several different reasons.
     First, vegetarians have a big health advantage. One of the major health problems in modern world is
too much food, especially in the form of animal fats. Medical study suggests that animal fats, including
butter, quicken the development of cholesterol (胆固醇) in the human body. Too much cholesterol seems
to be part of the cause of heart disease. Most vegetarians have low level of cholesterol. Too much animal
fats also seem to lead to certain kinds of cancer, and vegetarians have less these cancers than people who
eat a lot of meat. Overall, studies comparing the health of vegetarians and meat-eaters show that the
meat-eaters are twice as likely to die of heart disease as vegetarians are.
     Better health is one reason that people choose to become vegetarians. Another reason is religion (宗教).
Eating of meat is never allowed in some religions. The largest of these is the Hindu religion, which has about
600 million believers in the world. Although not all Hindus are vegetarian, many are, and there are many
believers of other religions, such as Buddhism and even some Christian religions that also do not eat meat.
     Many vegetarians do not eat meat simply because they do not like the taste of it. They have no religious
or other reasons; they just do not like meat. Another important reason that vegetarians give for not eating
meat is the health advantages that were given above. Lastly, there are many people who do not eat meat
because they just do not like the idea of killing animals for food. They believe that life, all life, is valuable and
that we do not have to destroy life to feed ourselves when there are other good sources of food.

1. According to the passage, people choose to be vegetarians for the reasons EXCEPT ________.

A. they think killing is bad and want to stay healthy
B. they are too kind to put the idea of killing animals
C. they live in areas where meat supply is short
D. they shouldn"t eat meat because of religious belief

2. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?

A. Vegetarians enjoy a more healthy life than the meat eaters.
B. Heart disease and cancer are caused by too much vegetables.
C. There are twice as many meat-eaters as vegetarians who die of cancer.
D. There are fewer health problems in modern society nowadays.

3. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A. being a vegetarian may be a very strange thing
B. vegetarians eat meat on some special occasions
C. most vegetarians believe that life without meat is happy
D. all vegetarians have reasons for their not eating meat
