Silence is unnatural to man. He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness. In between he does all he eau to make a noise in the world, and he fears silence mow than anything else, Even his conversation is an attempt to prevent a fearful silence. If he is introduced to another person, and is number of pauses occur in the conversation, he regards himself as a failure. He knows that ninety-nine percent of human conversation means no more than the buzzing of a fly, but he is anxious to join in the buzz and to grove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure.
The aim of conversation is, for the most part, to communicate ideas: it is to keep up the buzzing sound. There are, it must be admitted, different qualities of buzz; there is even a buzz that is as annoying as the continuous noise made by a mosquito. But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a quiet person. Most buzzing, fortunately, is pleasant to the ear, and some of it is pleasant even to the mind. He would be a foolish man if he waited until he had a wise thought to take part in the buzzing with his neighbors.
Those who hate to pick up the weather as a conversational opening seem to me not to know the reason why human beings wish to talk. Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new. Some of them are content if they are merely allowed to go on making a noise into other people’s ears. They have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or three new plays or that they had food in a Swiss hotel. At the end of an evening, during which they have said nothing meaningful for a long lime. They just prove themselves to be successful conversationalists.
选项
A、About whatever they have prepared.
B、About whatever they want to do.
C、About learning something new.
D、About getting on well.
答案
B
解析
What do people usually talk to their neighbors according to the passage?
预览选项可知,本题考查谈话交流的内容。问题询问的是人们经常跟邻居谈什么,故听音时应留意与neighbors相关的信息词。短文中间表明只要是他们想干的事他们都谈论,故答案为[B]。
