Our polite, little phrases

Many of us share these kinds of verbal habits: pausing at certain moments, filling in sentences with extra words or qualifying statements to make them sound more honest.

For example, have you ever been told by your friend: “I am only telling you this because I care about you—you really need to lose weight”? Or, by your classmate: “No offense, but to be perfectly honest, you’ve done a terrible job”?

These speech acts are called “verbal tee-ups”, according to a recent Wall Street Journal article. They are like cushions meant to soften bad or unpleasant news. Other verbal tee-ups include: “Don’t take this the wrong way, but…”, or “Don’t get mad, but…”.

For speakers, verbal tee-ups make it easier to say difficult things. They sound formal and polite. But aren’t they dishonest?

According to James W. Pennebaker, Psychology Department chair at the University of Texas at Austin, US, these phrases “are to formalize social relations so you don’t have to reveal your true self”, he told The Wall Street Journal.

However, Anne Curzan, professor of English at the University of Michigan, US, says that verbal tee-ups are a bit like traffic signals. “If we know that we’re about to say something potentially damaging, it can be nice to give the listener a moment to prepare for the message,” she wrote in the article Verbal Tee-ups: A More Positive Spin, published in The Chronicle of Higher Education.

Curzan gives an example. Suppose she needs an extension from an editor because she can’t get her article done on time. She might start her request with “I’m sorry to have to ask…”, or “I understand if this isn’t possible…”.

She could just say: “I need an extension”. But that doesn’t “feel very polite”, Curzan noted. Instead, it’s “sudden” and doesn’t “give the editor any choice”.

【1】What’s the purpose of pausing at certain moments and fill in sentences with extra words?

A．To give a pause.

B．To make them sound more honest.

C．To make an apology.

D．To give thanks.

【2】What’s the function of “verbal tee-ups”?

A．To soften bad or unpleasant news.

B．To soften good news.

C．To give bad or unpleasant news.

D．To make others feel uncomfortable.

【3】According to Anne Curzan, if we’re about to say something potentially damaging, it’s better to ________.

A．give a pause

B．use “verbal tee-ups”

C．say it directly

D．say sorry

【4】If we don’t use “verbal tee-ups”, it means________.

A．we are honest

B．we are polite

C．we are impolite

D．we have news to say

【5】What’s the passage mainly about?

A．“Verbal tee-ups”—a polite verbal habits.

B．“Verbal tee-ups”—a bad habits.

C．Verbal habits.

D．An honest pause.

22、   It is said that “China is always well protected by the bravest(最勇敢的) of them.” Indeed, in the fight against the novel corona virus(新冠状病毒), it is medical workers who are risking their lives on the frontlines.

By Feb 17, more than 32,000 medical workers from all over China went to Hubei. They are working under unusual conditions, unimaginable stress and intensive(密集的) schedules.

In Wuhan mobile cabin(方舱) hospitals, doctors and nurses work for long hours, usually six hours in a row(连续). Many of them have deep marks on their faces from wearing tight masks and goggles(护目镜). To help them recognize(认出) each other, they write their names on their clothing. They also choose to wear diapers(尿不湿), as it takes nearly an hour to take their protective uniforms on and off. When they are racing time to save lives, every second matters. To cheer each other up, medical workers wrote good words on their uniforms, such as “Stay strong” and “Hope”.

Many doctors and nurses got the disease during the earliest period of the outbreak because of a lack of knowledge about the disease, as well as a shortage of medical supplies(供应). Some of them got well and went back to work. Some of them, unluckily, lost their lives. According to China’s National Health Commission, a total of 1,716 medical workers in China got the disease by Feb 11, while six passed away.

With the help of the central government, the working conditions for medical staff in heavily-impacted(受影响大的) cities like Wuhan have been improved. They are confident that they will win the fight against the virus.
