答案 B
C
“Small talk”includes topics,such as sports,weather,jobs,or past experiences.Most people do not talk about religion,politics,or personal feelings with strangers.People do not usually talk about the personal lives of their conversation partners.This emotional distance does not mean people dislike you,but personal lives are discussed only with close friends and family.
There are few“ritualistic”exchanges in English,but you should know that“How are you?”and“How's it going?”are greetings,not questions about your life.“See you later.”or“See you soon.”are ways of saying goodbye,not appointments.
People in the US are curious.They will ask you a lot of questions.Some of their questions may appear ridiculous,uninformed(无知的)and elementary,but try to be patient in answering them.You may be the first person from your country whom they have met,and they will have very little understanding of your life.Most people are sincerely interested in learning about you.
Many people believe in the“scientific method”of understanding the world,so they look for facts and evidence when you tell them something new.This may seem odd to students whose cultures emphasize feelings or emotions,but people are not rude if they say,“Show me”or“Prove it”.
Loud conversations usually mean people are angry.Most conversations are moderate in volume with few gestures.Do not speak too loudly or too quietly,and keep your hands under control.When you have communication difficulties,you may think it is because of spoken or written language.However,many misunderstandings happen because of nonverbal communication,or body language.
