25、根据短文内容判断对错，对的填“T”，错的填“F”。

How important is your appearance? Although everyone wants to be good-looking, are beautiful people always happier people? For example, it must be a problem to be a really beautiful woman, because some people may be more interested in looking at you than talking to you. They think of you as a picture rather than a person.

Some people think that women who are exceptionally(格外地) pretty and men who are particularly handsome must be stupid. They believe that only unattractive(无魅力的) people can be intelligent.

On the other hand, no one wants to be really ugly, and have a face that even your mother doesn’t want to look at; and no one wants to plain, either—that is, to be neither attractive nor unattractive, and have a face that is easily forgotten. Being attractive is like being rich. It can help you find happiness, but it doesn’t always make you happy.

So maybe the best thing is not to worry too much about how you look, but simply try to be an interesting person. For interesting people have interesting faces and interesting faces are almost always attractive.

【1】It’s always easy to be happy for a beautiful woman.

【2】No one likes to talk to a very pretty woman.

【3】Some people think that handsome men are unintelligent.

【4】A plain face is easily forgotten.

【5】The writer advises readers to pay more attention to how they look.

26、

【1】What is the traditional greeting of Greenland called?

A．The hongi.

B．The kunik.

C．The adamu.

【2】Where would you possibly get a glass of milk with cow’s blood?

A．In Kenya.

B．In Thailand.

C．In New Zealand.

27、I often feel I’m blunt (说话生硬的) when speaking Chinese. “Bu yao,” “Mei you,” “Bu ke yi”—all these expressions are commonly used to turn down offers in Chinese. Each time I use them, I fight with my desire (渴望) to use them with a few polite expressions like “Thank you,” “Excuse me” or “I’m sorry.”

However, it seems Chinese people do not consider bluntness impolite. Here is a familiar scene from my everyday life. A crowded subway train is about to pull out. Just before the door is closed, a passenger pushes against others and shouts “Off the train!” There was no “Excuse me” or “Sorry” to be heard. Among good friends, the grammar of politeness is almost the same. At a Chinese restaurant, a friend of mine cries “Give me the salt!” instead of saying “Could you give me the salt? Thanks.” After many years of training children in western table manners, I always want to remind him or her to add, “Please!”

My Chinese friends told me that they noticed westerners frequently (频繁地) use “Please” and “Thank you” when speaking Chinese. In fact, we use them much more than they imagined. A Chinese language teacher, Zhang Kaidi, says that in China, using “please” sometimes has the opposite effect (效果) of politeness. It adds a kind of space that says we need some formality (拘谨) between us.

My Chinese teacher Danny nodded his head when I asked him about this explanation. “Good friends are close. They are a part of you,” Danny said. “Why would you say ‘Please’ or ‘Thank you’ to yourself? It doesn’t make sense.”

The first Chinese term that westerners usually learn is “Ni hao.” The second is probably “Xie xie.” Perhaps more westerners should be taught about how the use of “Xie xie” really sounds to Chinese ears!

【1】How does the writer feel when refusing offers in Chinese?

A．Uneasy.

B．Proud.

C．Comfortable.

【2】What does the writer mean to do in paragraph 2?

A．Present an opinion.

B．Offer some advice.

C．Make a conclusion.

【3】What can we infer about using “please” from Zhang Kaidi?

A．It can express respect.

B．It can improve relationship.

C．It can cause misunderstanding.

【4】What did Danny think of Zhang’s explanation?

A．Unreasonable.

B．Acceptable.

C．Unbelievable.

【5】What does the text mainly discuss about “Thank You” and “Please”?

A．What they stand for in China.

B．How they sound to Chinese ears.

C．Why they are often used by westerners.
