I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Thousands of people pass through the gates of Disney's entertainment parks in California, Florida and Japan each year. What makes these places an almost universal place of interest? What makes foreign kings and queens and other important people want to visit these Disney parks? Well, one reason is the way they're treated once they get there.

Our constant aim is to help our guests enjoy the party." Even Disney's managers get involved in the daily management of the park. Every year, the mangers leave their desks and business suits and put on special service clothes. For a full week, the bosses sell hot dogs or ice cream, take tickets or drive the monorail , and take up any of the 100 jobs that make the entertainment park come alive. The managers agree that this week helps them to see the company's goals more clearly. All these efforts to serve the public well have made Walt Disney Productions famous.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: As we all know , the language is a very important tool for people to communicate with each other. In most of the languages , people usually begin their conversations by a kind of small talk -a casual form of conversation that "breaks the ice" or fills an awkward silence between people . That is to say , small talk means the little things we talk about to start a conversation . In English-speaking countries such as Britain, people often make small talk about the weather. " Nice day, isn't it?" "Terrible weather , isn't it?" However, we still have something special about small talk. It must be about something which both people have the same opinion about. The purpose of small talk is to let both people agree on something. This makes meeting people easier and more comfortable . People usually agree about the weather, so it is a safe topic for small talk. But people often disagree about religion or politics so these are not suitable topics for small talk. The topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking place. At basketball matches, people make small talk about the game they are watching. "Great game , isn't it?" At train stations, people may talk about the transport system . " The train service is terrible, isn't it?" Question: What can we learn from the passage ? Options: A: Different languages have different grammar B: We must have something special about small talk. C: Small talk is an important part of a language . D: in English-speaking countries we should talk abut the weather.
