The Magic of a Book

One day when I was 11, my mother gave me an order: I was lo walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat (战胜) my strange problem—inability to _________.

In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room”. I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the _________ at random (随机的). The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone. I never forgot my beagle.

There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked the same to my dog. I ran my fingers over the _________ of the dog on the cover. My eyes run across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title without _________ the book. I borrowed it from the library for the summer.

Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read it with difficulty. Though pages were turned _________, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own _________ dog and I were, in my mind, running together.

My mother’s call made me _________ to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.

I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般的) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but noticeable _________ in my classroom performance during the next year.

Small Talk, Large Effect

Have you ever found yourself waiting at the stop for your bus to arrive and have a stranger ask an ordinary question? Perhaps you’ve stood in line waiting for a coffee and feel the need to just look over to the person next to you and ask about the weather.

(This is small talk, and despite the name) it’s actually a big part of daily life.

“Small talk may seem trivial (微不足道的), but it’s a natural way for people to connect. It may seem like a waste of time. But it serves an important role in our social interactions (交往). Big relationships are built on small talk,” Lindy Pegler, who has a master’s degree in psychology, wrote on Medium.

In fact, we spend a lot of our time making small talk. Often, we find ourselves making small talk with the same people on a regular basis. Coming up with small conversations is the foundation (基础) of these relationships.

The benefits of such conversations can actually contribute to our happiness and benefit our lives as a whole. In a recent study, researchers found that having a healthy amount of acquaintances ( 相识的人) and keeping these relationships contribute to one’s sense of belonging to a community.

So how does one start making small talk? It can be as simple as admiring one’s shirt, asking about their day or commenting on the traffic. “First and foremost, small talk is an act of politeness,” Pegler noted. “Our small talk at our first meeting is our chance to show who we are,” she added.

Who knows where this can lead? Nowadays, the small connections we make can lead to big results. You might find someone who has a common interest, or maybe even someone who turns out to be a close friend.

There is one thing for sure: Making small talk can brighten our day, even if it’s just a nice comment or a thoughtful question.

So the next time you find yourself waiting for the bus or checking your watch while you wait in a line, take the opportunity to look up and talk to someone around you. After all, it takes a small connection to lead to a larger one.
