• 1．People who are good at small talk always avoid these 6 mistakes 1.Assuming（ 假如）that nobody wants to talk to you
  If you're shy，I get it.But you're not the only one.If you're seeming confident or"natural，" you're missing the point：Stop thinking about yourself and try to communicate from each other's point of view.
     2.Start talking without having something to say
     If someone appears distant or lost in thought，moving into their personal space and saying"hey" is hardly an icebreaker.
     Try asking permission （e.g.，"Excuse me，do you mind if I ask you something？"） and make sure you have a fully formed question in mind （e.g.， "Are you having a good time？" ）.
     It's all about creating a comfortable opportunity for the other person to respond.
     3.Offering controversial topics
     If you're talking to someone new，it's generally best not to talk about weighty，confusing or uncomfortable topics.
     For starters，aim for something simple and close that you and the other person can experience together.Maybe it's the music you're both hearing，or the food you're both tasting.
     4.Being hard to follow
     Once you've made a connection with each other，keep that connection going by making yourself easy to understand.
     If you speak different languages，for example，slow your speech and pronunciation clearly.If they ask you what you do for work，answer in a way that doesn't take five minutes or use a lot of workplace jargon（术语）.
     5.Talking too much about yourself — or about the other person
     It's often said that people love to talk about themselves，and that asking questions is the secret ingredient to good conversations.But that's not true for everyone.
     Nobody likes to feel offended，so if you sense that questions aren't welcome，back off.
  6.Wasting someone's time
     If you're talking to someone，talk to them.Don't stare at the floor or look over their shoulder at another person.Put your phone away.Be present and give them your full attention.
  
  （1）How do you continue talking to someone who doesn't want to talk to you？

  
  A．Stop communication.
  B．Keep talking about yourself and shift the listener's attention.
  C．Talk about topics of interest to the listener.
  D．Tell the listener to listen to you.
  （2）What topics can you choose when talking to someone you don't know well？

  
  A．Discuss the local weather and culture

• 2．Facial recognition（面部识别）cameras are everywhere，including in your smartphone.Many people rely on this technology to unlock their phones，open doors or make quick payments，but there is a problem：Everyone is wearing masks.What a hassle!
     Now，tech companies have updated their software.Facial recognition technology can now identify people even if they are wearing a mask.
     Beijing-based tech company Hanwang has announced a software which can correctly recognize 95 percent of people wearing masks，Engineering & Technology（E&T）reported.What's the secret？It's all about your eyes.Marios Savvides，a professor at Carnegie Mellon University，US，studies facial recognition technology.As we get older，he said，our faces change shape，but not the area around our eyes.It stays the same - even if we put on weight.Another company，Geneva-based Tech5，has also been working on this kind of software.Another Japan based NEC Corp claims an surprising 99.9 percent accuracy rate when identifying people with masks.
     Facial recognition software is about more than just unlocking your phone.It's about public safety.For example，you don't need to present an ID card，which can be lost or stolen.It also means that virus aren't spread by touching things，said NEC's Shinya Takeshima. "Touchless verification（验证）has become extremely important due to the coronavirus，" he said to Reuters. "We hope to contribute to safety and peace of mind." More than that，facial recognition can be used to fight crime. "It can detect crime suspects（嫌疑犯）or terrorists，" said Huang Lei，Hanwang's vice president.Similar technology is used by the United States Air Force and other governments.
     Huang admits one big weakness of this technology：It fails when people wear both a mask and sunglasses. "In this situation，all of the key facial information is lost，" Huang said to E&T.
  
  （1）What does the underlined word "hassle" in paragraph 1 probably mean？

  
  A．A habit.
  B．A mistake.
  C．A rule.
  D．A trouble.
  （2）The facial recognition software mainly depends on

  to identify people with masks.
  A．The forehead.
  B．The shape of faces.
  C．The eye region.
  D．The facial expressions.
  （3）What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about？

  
  A．The future of facial recognition technology.
  B．The advantages of facial recognition technology.
  C．Different types of facial recognition software.
  D．The problems with current facial recognition technology.
  （4）What can be inferred from the last paragraph？

  
  A．The new technology cannot keep key facial information.
  B．It is necessary to make improvements in the new technology.
  C．Huang has a negative attitude toward the new technology.
  D．The new technology doesn't work when people wear sunglasses.

• 3．The pandemic has caused more organizations to acknowledge that a large portion of their workforces can function just fine outside of traditional offices.Their usual office location has been out of bounds. （禁止进入）Different working practices have advantages and disadvantages for employees.But the big question is， "Will they ever see their offices again？"
     Home working has made people realize what tasks they can perform at home，rather than enduring a commute to the office to do the same thing.It has given them more time with the family；they've been sleeping better and have saved money by not travelling or buying lunches on the go .And recent research suggests the majority of people working from home are just as productive.
     For some people，this could be a permanent arrangement.In the UK，fifty of the biggest employers questioned by BBC，have said they have no plans to return all staff to the office full-time in the near future.Of course，one main reason is that firms couldn't see a way of accommodating large numbers of staff while social distancing regulations were still in place.But BBC also heard from some smaller businesses who are deciding to abandon their offices altogether.Other bigger companies are also looking at shutting offices to save money as many jobs can be performed remotely.Peter Cheese，head of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development，told BBC： "We're at a moment of real change in the world of work，driven by big existential crises. "
     But this isn't great news for everyone.Some employees can feel isolated at home，and there's less opportunity to network or learn from other people，especially if they're a new recruit .Also，city centers may suffer most from a change in working habits.Shops and cafes rely on the footfall of office workers，and without them，they face closure.The future is still uncertain，which is why it may be too early to say where our desks will be permanently located.But the office of the future may be your home.
  
  （1）What does the underlined phrase "a commute to the office" in paragraph 2 mean？

  
  A．The journey to and back from the office.
  B．The distance between the office partners.
  C．A communication from the office.
  D．A call at the office.
  （2）According to the text，which is NOT the benefit of working from home？

  
  A．More time to accompany the family.
  B．Less money on lunches on the go .
  C．A better sleep.
  D．Higher efficiency.
  （3）What can we infer from paragraph 3？

  
  A．Some employees won't see their offices again.
  B．Large numbers of staff will leave office.
  C．Half employers will tire their staff.
  D．Firms couldn't deal with social distancing regulations.
  （4）What could be the best title for this text？

  
  A．Does Working From Home Benefit a Lot？
  B．Will Offices Disappear in the Future？
  C．The Usual Office Location Has Been out of Bounds.
  D．Different Working Practices Have Advantages and Disadvantages.
