【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。介绍了在人际交往的过程中如何与别人进行一场愉快对话的小建议：了解对方；问有关对方的一些问题；表现出真诚；积极地聆听；愉快地结束对话。

1.句意：我要分享一些有用的建议给你们。

write 写；share 分享；speak 说；think 认为。share…with sb. 意为“和某人分享……”，符合题意。故选B。

2.句意：一些建议送给你。

jokes 玩笑；sides 边；suggestions 建议；praises 赞扬。前文提到“some useful ways with you.”即“一些有用的方法。”那么下面应是具体的建议。故选C。

3.句意：开始一段对话之前找到关于这个人的一些事情。

because 因为；unless 除非；although 尽管；before 在……之前。此处谈及交谈之前的准备，所以应是“……之前”。故选D。

4.句意：提出以便其他人可以谈论自己的问题，例如“您喜欢做什么？”

talk about 考虑；care about 关心；put on 增加；穿上；depend on 依赖。根据后文的“Discuss things”可知此处是为了引出话题，给旁人开口的机会。故选A。

5.句意：……并礼貌地提出问题。

suddenly 突然；especially 尤其是；politely 礼貌地；secretly 秘密地。与旁人交流时应注意礼貌，根据常识，故选C。

6.句意：人们喜欢有机会讨论他们的经历。

purpose 目的；method 理论；lesson 课程；chance 机会。have a chance to do sth. 意为“有机会做某事”，符合句意。故选D。

7.句意：保持眼神交流并点头或做出回应，例如“那很有趣。”

nod 点头；hit 击打；open 打开；touch 触摸。根据空后的“give response”即“做出回应”，可知对应的行为是“点头”。故选A。

8.句意：如果您正忙于其他事情，那么对话将无处可去。

free 空闲的；busy 忙碌的；sure 确定的；weak 弱的。be busy doing sth. 意为“忙于做某事”，根据前文提到的“A conversation will go nowhere…”即对话将没法继续下去，那么前提就是忙于其他事情无暇聊天。故选B。

9.句意：知道对话何时结束。

start 开始；break 打破；end 结束；cancel 取消。根据最后一句话“Ending on a positive note will make the other person want to talk to you again.”意为“以肯定语气结尾将使另一个人想再次与您交谈。”可知此处的主题的“对话何时结束”，故选C。

10.句意：微笑，然后表明你享受这次谈话。

sport 运动；conversation 对话；game 游戏；meeting 会议。文章一直在讲谈话时需要注意的问题，所以此处仍是“谈话”。故选B。
