大李和小王是某报新闻部的编辑,该报总编计划从新闻部抽调人员到经济部。
总裁决定:未经大李和小王本人同意,将不调动两人。大李告诉总编:“我不同意调动,除非我知道小王是否调动。”小王说:“除非我知道大李是否调动,否则我不同意调动。”
如果上述三人坚持各自的决定,则可推出以下哪项结论( )

A.两人都不可能调动
B.两人都可能调动
C.两人至少有一人可能调动,但不可能两人都调动
D.要么两人都调动,要么两人都不调动

答案

参考答案:A

解析: 大李说“我不同意调动,除非我知道小王是否调动”。小王说“除非我知道大李是否调动,否则我不同意调动”。显然两人僵持不下最终也不会有结果,即他们都不会同意调动。而总裁决定“未经大李和小王本人同意,将不调动两人”。所以,两人都不会调动。故正确答案是A。

How did your friendships begin? Most start with a short conversation on a random day. Asking about a homework assignment in class or complaining about your painful legs after playing in a soccer game, you found your best pal by accident.

“Small talk is where all your relationships begin,” Forbes magazine summed up.

The following is a five-step guide to making small talk from Bernardo J. Carducci, the director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast, US. Let’s have a look.

Getting started

Begin by talking about the setting, such as the weather outside or the room you are in (“It’s cold in here, isn’t it?”). The purpose of talking about the setting is to show the other person that you are willing to make a conversation.

②The personal introduction

You should mention something about yourself, such as your name. A good personal introduction helps move the conversation forward.

③Looking for topics

At this point, you and your conversation partner need to find common ground. This is a good time to ask questions or to refer back to things you’ve said or heard earlier. Don’t worry if it gets quiet. The other person is probably just thinking of something to say.

④Expanding the topic

The goal is to keep the conversation going. At every stage, you should be careful not to talk too much. But don’t let the other person dominate the conversation either. If that starts to happen, mention something about yourself when he or she takes a breath.

⑤A polite ending

When ending a conversation, let the person know you’ll be leaving soon, express gratitude for the conversation and set the stage for a future conversation. For example, you could say, “I really must be going soon, but I had a great time chatting with you. I really liked hearing your opinion about that new movie. Here’s my phone number. Call or text me if you know of any other movies you think I might enjoy.”
