3.C 空处为段落主题句。根据下文“Askthemwherethey’refrom...salaryandappearance.”可知,本段主要讲述了如何开启谈话。C项“用闲聊来开启对话”符合语境。故选C项。4.B 根据上文“Americanssometimesmakegeneralinvitationslike‘Let’sgettogethersometime’.Oftenthisisjustawaytobefriendly.”可知,空处说明这样的邀请只是客套话,不是真正的邀请。B项“它并不总是一个真正的邀请”符合语境。故选B项。5.A 空处为段落主题句。根据下文“Maybethey’rejustbeingfriendly...therearesomedifferencesbetweenthetwocultures.”可知,本段主要说明对于美国人的友谊不要有很大的期待。A项“一开始不要期望太多”符合语境。故选A项。
