24、   “How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly greeting that people in the United States use. However, “How are you?” is also an unusual question. It’s a question that often doesn’t need an answer. The person who asks, “How are you?” expects to hear the answer “Fine,” even if the person isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine” isn’t really an answer. They are common ways of saying “hello” or “hi”.

Sometimes, people don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks “Do you agree?” the other person may be thinking, “No, I don’t. I think you’re wrong.” It isn’t polite to disagree very strongly, so he might say, “I am not so sure.” This is a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone.

People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking to other people. For example, many conversations over the phone end when one person says, “I’ve got to go now,” or the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse such as “Someone is at the door,” or, “Something is burning on the stove.” The excuse may be real, or not. The person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more, but it isn’t polite to say so. An excuse is polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other person’s feelings.

Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an opinion, or ending a conversation, people often don’t say exactly what they are thinking. This is one way of being nice to people, and it’s a part of the game of language.

【1】If you have a different idea from that of someone else, it is polite to say “________.”

A.You’re wrong B.I’m not so sure

C.Of course, I disagree D.No, I don’t agree with you

【2】Which of the following is a polite way to finish a conversation?

A.I have no time to talk to you now. B.I want to stop talking now.

C.I have to go now. D.I don’t want to talk any more.

【3】According to the passage, when a person says “Something is burning on the stove,” it means that ________.

A.he is going to prepare an exam B.he is interested in the conversation

C.he is hurting someone’s feelings D.he’s giving an excuse to end the conversation

【4】One of the rules of the game of language is ________.

A.to be polite B.not to disagree with others

C.to say what you mean D.to make sentence funny

【5】What’s the passage mainly about?

A.How to make friends with other people. B.Some polite questions used to greet other people.

C.Important ways of being polite to other people. D.How to end a conversation.

25、Still in shock! I moved around the house purposelessly trying to decide what to put into the suitcases (行李箱). Earlier that evening, I’d received a call telling me that my brother was killed in a car crash. “Come as soon as you can,” cried my mother.

I wanted to hurry to her at once. But my husband, Larry, and I were packing to move from New York to Seattle. Our house was in a total mess. Supper dishes sat on the kitchen table. Toys lay everywhere. I purposelessly picked things up and put them down. Mother’s crying went through my head again and again.

Larry called some friends to tell them what had happened. Someone asked to speak to me, “If there’s anything I can do, let me know.” But I didn’t know what to ask for.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. It was Emerson, He and his wife Donna lived in the block nearby.

“I’ve come to clean your shoes,” he said.

I asked him to repeat.

“Donna had to stay with the baby,” he said, “but we want to help you. I remember when my father died, it took me hours to clean our shoes for the funeral (葬礼). Give me all your shoes.”

I gathered all our dirty shoes to the kitchen. Emerson got to work right away. Watching him devoting himself to one task helped me pull my own thoughts into order. I told myself to wash clothes first. Then, Larry and I bathed the children and put them to bed. One job after another.

When we returned to clear the dishes, Emerson had left. All our shoes stood in a line against the wall, clean, shining. I couldn’t help crying. Early next morning, we left for the airport with all the jobs done.

Now whenever I hear of a friend who’s lost a loved one. I no longer call with the polite offer, “If there’s anything I can do…” Instead I try to think of one specific task that suits that man’s need, like taking the dog to the boarding kennel, or house-sitting during the funeral. If the person asks, “How did you know I needed that done?” I reply, “Because a man once cleaned my shoes.”

【1】The writer didn’t know what to put into the suitcases because ________.

A．she couldn’t do it on her own

B．she was too sad to do anything

C．she wanted to take everything to Seattle

Which of the events should go in the empty box above?

B．The couple bathed the children.

C．They cleared the supper dishes.

D．The writer found the shoes cleaned.

【3】If one of her friends has lost a loved one, what will the writer probably NOT do?

A．Call her friend to ask what she can do.

B．Look after her friend’s young children.

C．Take her friend’s dog to the boarding kennel.

27、The weather is getting hotter. You are thirsty playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health.
