In our daily life, it is necessary to make small talk in certain situations. It helps to fill time between people when it is completely quiet. You may not feel like talking with someone else or you are very shy at the beginning, but it is sometimes thought to be rude to say nothing.

People use small talk almost every day. It usually takes place when you meet someone you don’t know at all or someone you’re not familiar with. For example, waitresses and hairdressers often make small talk with their customers. If you happen to be outside when the mailman comes to your door, you might make small talk with him, too.

Most often, small talk happens in places where people are waiting for something. For example, you might talk with another person who is waiting for the bus to arrive. People also make small talk in a doctor’s waiting room, or when they are waiting in a line to buy something. At the office, people make small talk in elevators or lunchrooms, especially if there is a line-up. Mingling（交际） is often required among people who don’t know each other very well at a party. In other words, they are expected to walk around and talk with others.

The most common time for small talk to happen is the first time you see or meet someone on a given day. For example, if you see a co-worker in the lounge (休息室) you might say hello and discuss the sports or weather. However, the next time you see each other you might just smile and say nothing. If there is very little noise, it might be the right time to start a pleasant conversation. If someone is reading a book at the bus stop, it is probably not a good idea to start a conversation. Another good time to make small talk is during a break in a meeting when there is nothing important going on. However, it is important to recognize the signal when the other person wants the conversation to stop.

1.Small talk happens most probably except when _____.

A. you’re having your hair cut

B. you’re having a meeting

C. you’re waiting for a bus

D. you’re waiting in a line to buy something

2.It is the right time to make small talk when

A. there is nothing important going on during a break in a meeting

B. the other person doesn’t want to start a conversation

C. On the same day, you see a co-worker in the lounge again

D. someone is reading a book at the bus stop

3.The author develops the last paragraph mainly by _____.

A. giving explanations B. discussing questions

C. telling stories D. providing examples

4.We can learn from the text that small talk _____.

A. won’t happen among strangers

B. can help to break the silence

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

What Is Emotional Eating?

Emotional eating is when people use food as a way to deal with feelings instead of satisfying hunger．__1.__ Have you ever finished a whole bag of chips out of boredom or downed cookie after cookie while preparing for a big test? But when done a lot — especially without realizing it — emotional eating can affect weight, health, and overall well-being.

Not many of us make the connection between eating and our feelings.

_2.__ One of the biggest myths about emotional eating is that it’s caused by negative feelings．Yes, people often turn to food when they’re stressed out, lonely, sad, anxious, or bored．But emotional eating can be linked to positive feelings too, like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentine’s Day or the celebration of a holiday feast．Sometimes emotional eating is tied to major life events, like a death or a divorce．__3.__

Emotional eating patterns can be learned: A child who is given candy after a big achievement may grow up using candy as a reward for a job well done．__4._ It’s not easy to “unlearn” patterns of emotional eating．But it is possible．And it starts with an awareness of what’s going on.

We’re all emotional eaters to a degree．But for some people emotional eating can be a real problem, causing serious weight gain or other problems．The trouble with emotional eating is that once the pleasure of eating is gone, the feelings that cause it remain．__5.__ That’s why it helps to know the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger.

Next time you reach for a snack, wait and think about which type of hunger is driving it.

A．Believe it or not, we’ve all been there.

B．If a crying boy gets some cookies, he may link cookies with comfort.

C．One study found that people who eat food like pizza become happy afterwards.

D．And you often may feel worse about eating the amount or type of food you like.

E．Understanding what drives emotional eating can help people take steps to change it.

F．Boys seem to prefer hot, homemade comfort meals, while girls go for chocolate and ice cream.

G．More often, though, it’s the countless little daily stresses that cause someone to seek comfort in food.

The U．S．Postal Service (USPS) is losing billions of dollars a year．The government company that delivers "small mail" is losing out to email and other types of electronic communication．First-class mail amount fell from a high point of 104 million pieces in 2000 to just 64 million pieces by 2014.

Congress permits the 600,000-empIoyee USPS to hold a monopoly (垄断) over first-class and standard mail．The company pays no federal, state or local taxes; pays no vehicle fees; and is free from many regulations on other businesses．Despite these advantages, the USPS has lost $52 billion since 2007, and will continue losing money without major reforms.

The problem is that Congress is preventing the USPS from reducing costs as its sales decline, and is blocking efforts to end Saturday service and close unneeded post office locations．USPS also has a costly union-dominated workforce that slows the introduction of new ideas or methods down．USPS workers earn significantly higher payment than comparable private-sector workers．The answer is to privatize the USPS and open postal markets to competition．With the rise of the Internet, the argument that mail is a natural monopoly that needs government protection is weaker than ever.

Other countries facing declining letter amounts have made reforms．Germany and the Netherlands privatized their national postal companies over a decade ago, and other European countries have followed suit．Britain floated shares of the Royal Mail on its stock exchange in 2013．Some countries, such us Sweden and New Zealand, have not privatized their national postal companies, but they have opened them up to competition.

These reforms have driven efficiency improvements in all of these countries．Additional number of workers have been reduced, productivity has risen and consumers have benefited．Also, note that cost-cutting measures—such as closing tone post offices—are good for both the economy and the environment.

Privatization and competition also encourage new changes．When the USPS monopoly over "extremely urgent" mail was stopped in 1979, we saw an explosion in efficient overnight private delivery by firms such as FedEx.
