閱讀下面短文,根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成句子。

Some people seem to know how to start a conversation with anyone anywhere. If you’re not one of these people, don’t be sad. Here are some easy ways to help you make a conversation with someone new.

Say something about the surroundings (周圍的事物).

If you’re at a party, for example, you could say, “I love this song”, or “The food is great. Have you tried the chicken?”

Ask an open-ended question.

The question requires (要求) more than just a yes or no answer. You can ask a question that begins with one of the 5W1H: who, where, when, what, why, or how. For example, “Who do you know here?” “Where do you usually go on Friday?” “How is the food?” Most people enjoy talking about themselves, so asking questions is a good way to start a conversation.

Give praise.

For example, “I really like your bag. Can I ask where you got it?” or “You look like you’ve done this before. Can you tell me where I have to sign in (簽到)?”

Keep the conversations going with small talk.

Don’t say something annoying (令人討厭的) and avoid big subjects like religion (宗教). Try some relaxing subjects. For example, you can talk about the weather or anything you have in common such as schools, movies and sports teams.

Be a good listener.

Listening is not the same as waiting for your turn to talk.. You can’t focus on (專注于) what someone’s saying if you’re thinking about what you’re going to say next. Focus on the speaker and show interest in what’s being said. Nod, smile at the person, and make sure you look friendly.

1.An open-ended question refers to the one beginning with ________.

2.Asking questions is a good way to start a conversation because most people ________.

3.Try some relaxing subjects rather than big subjects like ________.

4.To be a good listener means focusing on the speaker and ________.

5.The passage is mainly about ________.
