分析 【文章大意】本文讲的是结束谈话的技巧．怎样结束谈话取决于谈话的地点和怎样开始谈话的，也取决于你和对方的关系．

解答 78．as．考查短语such as．句意为：要么你，要么另一个人需要继续某种活动，比如工作和购物．分析句子成分可知，空格处之后为动名词，故填介词．根据句意，并结合句子中英语提示"such"，确定填 as．as是介词，such as例如．故填as．
79．how．考查特殊疑问句．句意为：但是，怎样用一种礼貌的方式结束一次对话？分析句子成分和特点可知，本为疑问句，而句子缺少状语，故填特殊疑问词，所以，本句为特殊疑问句．根据句意，确定填how，其意思是"怎样"．故填how．
80．other．考查形容词．句意为：它允许取决于你和对方的关系．分析句子成分可知，空格处为定语，故填形容词．根据句意，并结合句子中英语提示"the"，确定填other，它是形容词，意思是"其他的"．the other（双方中的）另一个．故填other．
81．minutes．考查名词复数．句意为：我真的得走了--十分钟后就是我的钢琴课．分析句子成分可知，介词in之后为状语，故填名词，组成介宾结构充当状语．根据句意，并结合句子中英语提示"in ten"，确定填minutes，它是名词minute的复数，意思是"分钟"．in ten minutes十分钟后．故填minutes．
82．again．考查副词．句意为：也许将来某个时间，我们会高兴地再交谈．分析句子成分可知，空格处为状语，故填副词．根据句意，并结合句子中英语提示"sometime in the future"，确定填again，它是副词，意思是"再一次"．故填again．
83．leave．考查不定式．句意为：结束对话的另一个方法是让对方很容易就离去．分析句子成分可知，空格之前为不定式符号，故填动词原形．根据句意，确定填leave，它是动词，意思是"离开"．故填leave．
84．ideas．考查名词复数．句意为：你可以用这些办法结束对话．分析句子成分可知，空格处为宾语，且被代词these所修饰，故填名词复数．根据句意，并结合句子中英语提示"to end a conversation"，确定填ideas，它是名词idea的复数，意思是"主意；办法"．故填ideas．
85．If．考查连词及状语从句．句意为：如果他们这样做．分析句子成分可知，逗号前后为两个句子，故需填一个连词，把它们连接起来．根据句意，前一句为假设，或条件关系，故填if，它是连词，意思是"如果"．故填if．
