The B．S.Report

Designed for the sports fan with a sense of humor，the B．S.Report is hosted by the sportswriter Bill Simmons.Simmons show is in very loose and free form and it's not uncommon for him to go almost a whole show without even mentioning sports.

B

Today is the last day of class.Students from around the world are setting up their final projects，opening laptops and taping posters to the walls.In one corner，Isaac Ndawula stops to talk with fellow student Sheila Mutamba.Her project is learning to make American­style small talk.

“So after all this，do you intend to take this backhome？” he asks her.She nods.“I do，because I think small talk is very important.”

Ndawula is from Uganda，Mutamba from Rwanda.Both say in the part of Africa they come from，you don't get chatty with strangers.Mutamba says now，after a semester's practice，she's becoming a more confident conversationalist.But she says her first attempt at making small talk was very different.

“I remember that very clearly，because it was very hard.And just because I'm black，I can't blush (脸红)，but I was really feeling very awkward and very embarrassed，”she says with a laugh.

As part of a homework assignment，Mutamba says she did something an American might not think twice about.She turned to a stranger in a restaurant and started talking about the weather.

“So I keep trying to talk，but I have all these things in my head.I'm trying to be appropriate.I'm trying not to be nosey.”

Back home，she says.things are more conservative(保守的)．If a woman approaches a man，it could seem suggestive.

According to Columbia University Business School professor Michael Morris，in an increasingly global economy，all workers need to learn to manage across cultures.He says there's not much emphasis on that in the U．S.educational system，so it's something many Americans never learn how to do.Besides，Morris suggests we all need to catch up if we want to be global leaders.

4．What can we know about Isaac Ndawula and Sheila Mutamba?

A．They are from the same country.

B．They are studying in America now.

C．They are of the same age.

D．They are leaving for Africa.

5．How does Sheila Mutamba find her first attempt at making small talk?

A．Uncomfortable.　　　 B．Exciting.

C．Encouraging.  D．Wonderful.

7．Michael Morris intends to tell us ________.

A．across cultures are important for all workers

B．Americans should be global leaders

C．Americans needn't learn about the global situation

D．American­style small talk should be spread across the world

[语篇解读]　文章谈论了闲谈的重要性。

4．B　推理判断题。根据第三段的Ndawula is from Uganda，Mutamba from Rwanda.Both say in the part of Africa they come from可知，他们来自非洲不同的国家。另外，根据第一段和最后一段的内容可以推知，现在他们在美国。

5．A　细节理解题。根据第四段Mutamba说的话可知，当她第一次尝试聊天时，她感到困窘。由此可知选A。

6．C　词义猜测题。此处表示我一直试图和对方说话，尽可能表现得体，不表现得好打听似的。nosey/nosy表示“爱打听的”，意思是好奇心重的，故选C。

7．A　推理判断题。根据最后一段的all workers need to learn to manage across cultures
