Small talk and chitchat(闲谈) are the short conversations we have at parties, while we wait in line at the store, at family events or work.
Sometimes we make small talk with people we already know but not w1．. Often we have to make small talk with complete strangers.
Many people find these small conversations about unplanned subjects difficult. Some people say they hate it. Others say small talk is a w2． of time. They may even call it useless chitchat or useless chatter, meaning it doesn’t do anything. They c3． small talk not important.
However, small talk is important. These exchanges can open doors that may lead to l4．, more meaningful conversations.

17、A short Chinese man seems to be the tallest in the world right now. Jack Ma（Ma Yun),50, is executive chairman（董事局主席）of Alibaba Group, a business-to-business online platform. On Sept. 19, Alibaba went public (上市) on the New York Stock Exchange (纽约证卷交易所)，raising $25 billion through an IPO(首次公开发行股票), the biggest in US history. Ma, a former English teacher, has become the richest man on the Chinese mainland.
Born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, Ma grew up as a happy kid. At the age of 12, he wanted to learn English. Every morning, he woke up at 5 a.m , cycled 40 minutes to a hotel near the West Lake where he could chat to foreign tourists. He did it for nine years, rain or shine.The experience made him a fluent English speaker and also opened his eyes to the wider world. .
In a 1995 trip to the US, Ma was showed the Internet for the first time. He searched Yahoo using the word “Beer”, and found that there was nothing in there about China. Seeing the chance, Ma returned to China and set up a website called China Pages without even knowing much about computers.
Four years later, 18 people including Ma, his wife and his friends founded Alibaba inHangzhou. He believed in the Internet business potential(潜力) when few other Chinese did.

18、On October 31st, 2015, the official Xinhua news agency reported that China would allow two children for every couple. That meant that the country's one-child policy came to an end.
To control the population growth, China started a policy of one child per couple in the 1970s. Why does China decide to relax the policy now?
In fact, China began relaxing the policy in January, 2014, allowing couples to have a second baby if the mother or father was an only child. The change was thought as a major liberalization (解放) of the family planning of over thirty years. But new figures (数据) in January, 2015 suggested that fewer people than expected would like to have a second baby. Health officials said that there were about 11 million couples under the new policy. However, only 1 million couples applied (申请) to have a second child. Some couples said, “Two kids? Thanks but no.” The influence of one-child policy seems hard to go in a short time.
China's government has said that China will become the country with the most old people in the world in just 15 years, with more than 400 million people over the age of 60.
