“Hi there.How’s it going?”
“Oh,fine.Fine.How about this weather.huh?”
“Well,I guess we can always use the rain.”
What’s that? This story? Oh,just a little look at small talk.You know,those
seemingly mean. ingless conversations you have dozens of times a day.Maybe you’re
waiting for the elevaor.or in a line at the bank.It all seems pretty trivial.Idle
chatter about traffic doesn’t do much more than fill the air with empty words that
are quickly forgotten.But you should know that small talk actuallv has a big place
in our lives.
Pat Oliver,assistant professor on arts,says that,“Left unchecked smalt talk can
be an inva. sion.It’s so powerful.it does something to you.”“Every morning
after spending an hour and a half on the freeway I start the day with small talk
with my secretary” Oliver says.“If I don't make small connection with another
person,I can’t work.”
What causes it? As a rule,you’re either trying to force something into your life.or
you’re using conversation as an invisible force field to keep them out.You can
be wanting to connect with another person,and small talk is your introduction to
more meaningful conversation.The way people use small talk is usually determined
by where they happen to be at the time.
Take the elevator, for instance.Now there’s prime territory.Nobody knows anyone
and there’s no reason to start a conversation,but invariably,someone does.“Making
conversation in such peaceful social settings.”according to Oliver,“can confirm
your territory.It’s a way of feeling liked and accepted.”
The topics of small talk don’t matter.In fact,You don’t want anything more taxing
than the weather or the traffic.It’s non—threatening talk in a threatening
situation.However.the mles change quickly when you’re with lots of people doing
lots of talking.
Let’s say you’re at a paay.Now it’s time to use small talk as a way of making
others feel more comfortable around you,so you don’t look silly standing by the
food table alone all night.

Dumber got small.

if you struggled,they could drop you cold.

acquaintances,but herboys and ours were constant companions.She ran a very good
business at the time.
Louise was brilliant and missed nothing . She had been watching my progress
closely.She knew I was dying for money and I had prospects but could offer no
guarantees of success.
She told me that her attomeY had talked to mine and the terms had been agreed upon.She
handed me an envelope.Inside was a check for$500,000. I almost fell down.I heard
her voice as if from heaven. “I have confidence in your plan,”she said.“You’ll
do.well.You’re going to work hard for it.but it’s satisfying when you build
your own company.”
Who would have thought I’d find an angel SO close to home?There were no words

completely humbled and conopletely committed.

Nearly all “shed reading” courses have a “pacing” elementmsome timing device
which lets the student know how many words a minute he is reading.You can do this
simply by looking at your watch every 5 0r 10 minutes and noting down the page number
you have reached.Check the averagenumber of words per page for the particular book
you are reading.How do you know when 5 minutes has passed on your watch if you are
busy reading the book? Well.this is difficult at first.A friend can help by timing
you over a set period,or you call read within hearing distance of a pubic clock
which strikes the quarter hours.Pace yourself every three or four days,always with
the same kind of easy,general interest books.You should soon notice your accustomed
w.P.m.rate creeping up.Obviously there is little point in increasing your w.P.m.rate
if you do not undersmnd what you are reading.When you are consciously trying to
increase your reading speed,stop after every chapter(if you are reading a novel)or
every section or group of ten or twelve pages(if it is a text-book)and ask yourself
a few questions about what you have been reading.If you find you have lost the thread
of the story,or you cannot remember clearly the details of what was said.reread
the section or chapter.
You can also try “lightning speed” exercise from time to time.Take four or five
pages of the general interest book you happen to be reading and read them as fast
as you possibly can.Do not bother about whether you understand or not.Now go back
and read them at what you feel to be your “normal” w.P.m.rate,the rate at which
you
speed” reading
through(probably 600 w.P.m.)you will usually find that your “normal ”speed has
increased-perhaps by as much as 50—100 w.P.m.This is the technique sportsmen
use when they usually run further in training than they Will have to on the day of
the big race.
41.According to the passage,a“pacing”device________.
A.is used to time the student’s reading speed
B.is not used in most speed reading courses
C.is used as an aid to vocabulary learning
D.should be used whenever we read alone
42.In speed reading,looking at your watch every 5 0r 10 minutes________.
A.avoids the need for reading faster
B.is not the same as pacing
C.may seem unworkable at first
D.helps you to remember your page number
43.When you are reading a novel,you should check your understanding of the content
after________.
