21、【语篇来自二十一世纪学生英文报·试题原创】

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.

23、   Indonesia is my mother’s homeland (家乡). Since I was young, I had learned a lot about the country. For a long time I had wanted to do something for the country and people there, and I thought volunteering would be a good and fun way to do so.

Teaching my first English class in Aceh was exciting but I was rather nervous. As time went by I learned how to be a better teacher. Teaching was really the most enjoyable of my many responsibilities (责任).

Many children were shy at first. But when they relaxed, they would start talking and telling you a lot of funny things. For the children who are more in need, the Education Program (TEP) will collect donations (收集捐赠) to help them.

As a volunteer. I had to visit the TEP children at home once a month and help them write a thank-you letter to their sponsors. This was a way for the children to communicate with their sponsors. Sometimes the sponsors would write back to the children.

【1】The writer thought volunteering would be a good way to ________.

A.play outdoors B.do something for Indonesia C.learn more about Indonesia   D.get the greatest pleasure

24、Have you ever been to Berlin? I paid a visit to it for five days and enjoyed a happy time. Berlin is a big city. In order to make my travel easy,   I divided the city into some areas, and then traveled from area to area. It is a great place for a bike ride instead of walking around. It provides a fast and easy way to move around Berlin, and costs around 9 Euros per day to rent.

If you really want to enjoy walking, there is also a free walking tour. It begins at the Brandenburg Gate and lasts 3.5 hours. It took me through the center of the city, showed me all the highlights（重要的部分）and gave me some history about the city. For me, one of the most important things is to enjoy the local delicious food. We can judge（判断）a city on how cheap it is by the food, and the food in Berlin is very cheap. And not just street food, even the restaurants there are a bargain. You can find a lot of meals for less than 5 Euros. Here is a truth for you—the lemons（柠檬）and the fresh vegetables are mouth-watering.

After this visit, I enjoy Berlin more. Though I may not ever live there, I’d happily go back and visit—over and over again.

【1】The best way for you to enjoy a fast and easy way to travel around Berlin is ___.
