Ⅱ.阅读理解
Small talk is truly an art form. While most people think making small talk just means talking about the weather, sports, or other neutral (中性的) topics, it actually can be just about anything. And can be quite powerful for building attraction if done right.
While talking with women, please keep the following in mind： 1．Create Multiple_Conversation_Threads
Small talk becomes awkward (尴尬的) when the two of you begin to sense that you have nothing to talk about other than the weather. But if you immediately introduce several “threads” into the conversation, you are free to jump around from topic to topic, creating a sense of familiarity with the other person.
2．Assume Rapport (融洽) Right From the Start
The men and women who are the best at small talk, are usually the ones you feel most comfortable around. So what do these people do to make you feel so comfortable around them? Simple. They talk to you as if the two of you have been friends for years.
So just simply talk to the strangers in the same tone and conversational (会话的) language that you would talk to your best friend with.
3．Be Prepared to Do Most of the Talking to Start
If you start a conversation with a woman, you must be ready to carry most of the small talk for the beginning of the conversation. This is because she isn't yet warmed up.
It's like when you and your friends are talking and suddenly everyone is pitching in different jokes and stuff ... you need time to warm up. So you need to slowly get her to open up to you, and make the conversation go well.
语篇解读：谈话聊天是我们生活中必不可少的一部分，本文作者就男性如何与异性进行日常谈话提出了三条个人的建议。
