【解析】

试题分析：为了开始一段友好的交谈，人们需要打破僵局，避免感到不舒服或害羞。本文就此提了一些建议：微笑；积极的态度；作一名好的听众；随和等等。

1.suggestions 词义：questions问题；sentences句子；suggestions建议；conversations对话。句意：If you feel like this, the following ① tips can help you out.如果你有这样的感受，下面的tips可以帮你解决困难。可以推测出以下是提的帮你解决困难的建议，故suggestions。

2.当你微笑时，人们认为你友好且易于交流（交谈、沟通）。when引出的是时间状语从句，think后跟了一个宾语从句，friendly友好的，talk to和……说话；easy to talk to容易说话。故译成：当你微笑时，人们认为你友好且易于交流（交谈、沟通）。

3.Listen to others carefully and ask (some /them) questions about themselves 听某人讲：listen to sb；仔细地听，用副词carefully修饰动词短语；问……关于……的问题：ask sb about…；他们自己：themselves。故译成：Listen to others carefully and ask (some /them) questions about themselves

4.Some people may be too shy to break the ice.句意：一些人可能是如此的害羞以致于他们不能打破僵局。so…that…如此……以致于……，当that后跟一个否定句时，句子表示“如此……以致于不……”，故可以用too…to…（太……而不能……）结构替换，故改为：Some people may be too shy to break the ice.

5../4.／4 tips.细节理解题。题意：短文中提到了多少条建议？根据短文内容，共提到了“微笑；积极的态度；作一名好的听众；随和”四条建议，故回答：Four.／Four tips./4.／4 tips.
