（10分）Have you ever been in a conversation that you wish you could run away from？Scientists have shown that you might not be alone.
A research team surveyed 806 people about a recent conversation they had with someone close to them.They were asked about the actual length and their expected length of the conversation，and how long they thought the other person wanted to talk for.
About one﹣third of the conversation length was unwanted.Also，more people believed that they wanted to end the conversation first.They kept talking for about 4 minutes before they realized that the other speaker wished the same thing.Situations are similar when it comes to strangers.Only about 1.6 percent of the conversations really ended when both sides wanted to.
The survey pointed out that when people talked to strangers，what made people hide their feelings may be their politeness.When talking to close friends and family，it may be their kindness as ending the chat too soon may hurt the other's feelings.
So， ★ ？Saying the exact time you can talk at the beginning is a good way. "Conversations don't end because people don't know when the other person wants to go，" Adam Mastroianni who led the study said.You should make your partner feel good about the end of the chat by "clearly expressing that you had a nice time and would like to talk again".
However，in some ways，this dilemma （困境），and conversation is a good way to make these connections happen.

A research team surveyed 806 people about a recent conversation they had with someone close to them.They were asked about the actual length and their expected length of the conversation，and how long they thought the other person wanted to talk for.
About one﹣third of the conversation length was unwanted.Also，more people believed that they wanted to end the conversation first.They kept talking for about 4 minutes before they realized that the other speaker wished the same thing.Situations are similar when it comes to strangers.Only about 1.6 percent of the conversations really ended when both sides wanted to.
The survey pointed out that when people talked to strangers，what made people hide their feelings may be their politeness.When talking to close friends and family，it may be their kindness as ending the chat too soon may hurt the other's feelings.
So， ★ ？Saying the exact time you can talk at the beginning is a good way. "Conversations don't end because people don't know when the other person wants to go，" Adam Mastroianni who led the study said.You should make your partner feel good about the end of the chat by "clearly expressing that you had a nice time and would like to talk again".

【分析】研究表明，大约三分之一的对话长度是不想要的，人们更倾向于先结束对话。对陌生人的对话也存在类似情况。调查指出，人们在与陌生人交谈时，可能是因为礼貌而隐藏自己的感受，而在与亲密的朋友和家人交谈时，可能是因为善良，过早结束对话可能会伤害对方的感情。因此，在对话开始时说出确切的时间是一个好方法。然而，在某种程度上，这种困境可能并不是一件坏事。人们需要社交联系，对话是促成这些联系发生的好方法。
