In order to be a success in the American business world, you must get along with people. You must learn to behave yourself in such a way that you earn the affection（关爱）and respect of others. As we have already pointed out, Americans mix business and pleasure. Therefore, learning how to chat informally（非正式地）can be a help with your American business contracts. Americans like to talk about a number of different topics—sports, politics, cars, popular movies, television shows and personal interests.
Many large American cities have sports teams. If you are working with Americans in the United States, it would be a good idea to find out about the local sports teams so that you can join in the almost inevitable discussions about “What our team will do this year.” Politics can be a sensitive topic unless everyone is of the same mind politically. Limit your discussions to asking questions of your friends. Most Americans are car owners and some are even obsessive（着迷的）about the subject. You can contribute to the discussion by talking about cars you have owned or by sharing information you have had in automotive magazines. Americans watch television almost every night and attend movies regularly, so naturally ___________________________.
If you are unable to watch American television or attend American movies, reading the entertainment section of such magazines as Time and Newsweek will keep you up to date on what is popular in America. What’s the best title of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words.)
___________________________________________________________________________ Why should people be careful with the topic—politics? (Please answer within 8 words.)

Tips for a happier workplace
You don’t have to be friends with your co-workers, but you do need to be friendly. Read on for fresh ways to make your office a kinder, gentler place.
◆Give a happy “Hello!” in the morning.
Do you walk into the office, eyes down, and immediately start work? If so, you are likely to find that co-workers ignore you or avoid you. It’s really amazing how fast this small gesture can change unfriendly workplace relations.
◆Learn the art of small talk.
Ask your co-workers about their interests— their favorite music, movies, and books, as well as their hobbies. Once you know what catches their imagination, pick up stories from newspapers or magazines to help start conversations.
◆ Ask what they think.
People love to be asked for their opinion, so go out of your way to ask ,“What do you think of this report?” or “How do you think I should deal with this situation?”
◆Avoid gossip.So return the favor. When a co-worker walks towards you bearing a piece of gossip, respond with, “Really?” and then change the subject or get back to work. If you don’t respond, the gossiper will move on.
◆
To win friends at work, start with good office etiquette (礼节).There’s nothing more frustrating to busy co-workers than to have their emails and phone messages ignored. Your silence doesn’t just make their jobs harder, it also conveys an unpleasant message: You are unimportant to me.
| A．Stop complaining. |
| B．Return calls and emails immediately. |
| C．Then give the advice giver a silent thank-you. |
| D．Always work as hard as anyone working for you. |
E. You don’t want anyone talking about you behind your back, right?
F. Showing an interest in them will make them feel comfortable around you.
G. Get into the habit of greeting your co-workers with a smile as you arrive in the morning.

Question: I found a new job in the nearby town last week. But my six-year-old son doesn’t want to leave, because he has established a good friendship with our neighbor’s children. I am really puzzled about how to explain our moving plan to him. And there is only three weeks left. Will you please tell me some good advice?
Answer: Congratulations on your new position! It frequently causes them to feel unsafe. But don’t worry. There are many things you can do to make the moving experience less frightening for your children.
● Involve them from the very beginning.
Tell your children as soon as you know you’re moving. Explain why you’re moving in terms they can understand. This will remove a lot of the fear and confusion they may be feeling. Be sure to answer their questions as fully as you can.
●
If you approach the coming move as an exciting adventure for the entire family, it will help to calm your children’s fears. If possible, show them the new house and let them spend some time exploring it. Help them imagine where their furniture and toys will go. Show them the yard and help them imagine all the fun they will have there. Talk about all the fun things the family will do there.
● Let them help.
If you give your children an active role in the move, they are much more likely to accept it and even grow excited about it. Let them pack some of their own things. If there are old toys you don’t plan to take, let the kids help decide which of them should be taken or given away.
| A．What to do on moving day. |
| B．Make the move an adventure. |
| C．Don’t tell them at the last minute. |
| D．Moving can upset children of any age. |
E. This will help them feel a part of the move.
F. My wife and I are considering moving there next month.
G. If you’re driving to your new home, make the trip exciting!
