26．B【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“smalltalkisthestartingpointofallrelationships”可知，许多重要的事情因闲聊而起。选B。

27．D【解析】细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“smalltalkisnotaboutcommunicating,it’saboutconnecting.”可知，闲聊是为了和别人建立联系，而不是交流。选D。【备注】本文主要谈论了闲聊的重要性及其原因。

32．C【解析】观点态度题。根据第一段可知，“积极思维”活动鼓励我们充满积极的能量，释放我们的愤怒，然而事实是愤怒只是一种情感，情感没有正误之分，我们不能刻意选择它们，由此可推断作者认为“积极思维”活动没有提供处理愤怒的有用的方法。选C。

33．C【解析】词义猜测题。语境表示，我们经常被鼓励抑制我们的愤怒的原因就是很少有人学会用恰当的积极的方式表达愤怒。选C。
