Answer 1

【答案】

【1】F

【2】 C

【3】D

【4】 G

【5】A

【解析】

知道如何在一些场合向别人道别是很重要的社交技能，本文就此给出了一些建议。

【1】F 上文提到“学习适时地说再见是一种技巧”，下文提到“继续读下去学习识别机会当你离开的时候”，此处选择F项“有时候做起来可能比看起来更容易些”承接上下文。

【2】 C 本段主要建议我们要识别出说再见的最佳时机，故此处选择C项“意识到何时可以离开”概括本段主旨。

【3】 D 本段主旨句为“要留意肢体语言”，下文提到几种不同的肢体语言所代表的意义，故此处选择D项“所以尽力要注意肢体信号”承接上下文。

【4】G 结合本段主旨句Make plans to see each other again.可知，此处选择G项“如果你还没有制定计划，就利用这次机会制定再次见面的计划”符合语境。

【5】 A 上文提到很多人渴望编造一个好的离开的理由，而本段的主旨句是“讲真话”，下文提到如果你想离开，只要说“我要离开了，再见”即可，故此处选择A项“你其实没有必要这样做”符合上下文语境。
