“How are you?”is a nice question. It’s a friendly way that people in the USA greet each other. But “How are you?”is also a very unusually question. It’s a question that often doesn’t need an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” hopes to hear the answer “Fine”, even if the person’s friend isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you ?”isn’t really a question and “Fine.”isn’t really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying “Hello.”or “Hi.”Sometimes, people also don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks “Do you agree?”, the other person might think, “No, I disagree. I think you’re wrong.”But it isn’t very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say “I’m not sure.”It’s a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone. People also don’t exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person say “I’ve to go now.”O(jiān)ften, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse,“Someone’s at the door.”“Something is burning on the stove.”The excuses might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hand up simply doesn’t want to talk any more, but it isn’t polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other person. Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people don’t say exactly that they are thinking. It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it’s part of the game of language.

解析試題分析:本文敘述了日常生活中的一些交際用語(yǔ)!澳愫軉?”和 “好”,只是“你好”的另一種說(shuō)法,并不是真的問(wèn)題。不同意某人時(shí),“不,我不同意,我認(rèn)為你是錯(cuò)的,”這種強(qiáng)烈的說(shuō)法是不禮貌的,禮貌的說(shuō)法是“我不確定.”。當(dāng)打電話的人想掛斷電話時(shí),會(huì)說(shuō)“有人在敲門”或者“爐子上的東西快糊了”。人們不會(huì)真實(shí)的說(shuō)出他們的想法,是想對(duì)彼此好。
【小題1】根據(jù)They are simply other ways of saying “Hello.”or “Hi.”可知“How are you?”只是“你好”的另一種說(shuō)法。故與文中意思相符,故為T。
【小題2】根據(jù)But it isn’t very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say “I’m not sure.”It’s a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone. 可知強(qiáng)烈地不同意是不禮貌的,不同意某人時(shí),禮貌的說(shuō)法是“I’m not sure.”,因此此處與文中意思不符,故為F。
【小題3】根據(jù)For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person say “I’ve to go now.”可知當(dāng)有人說(shuō)“I’ve to go now.”時(shí),表示打電話結(jié)束了。故為F。
【小題4】根據(jù)Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse,“Someone’s at the door.”“Something is burning on the stove.”可知經(jīng)常有人想要掛斷電話,給出的借口是“Someone’s at the door”和“Something is burning on the stove.”。此處與文中意思相符,故為T。
【小題5】根據(jù)people don’t say exactly that they are thinking. It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it’s part of the game of language. 可知人們不會(huì)真實(shí)的說(shuō)出他們的想法,是想對(duì)彼此好。故為T。

I never saw my father home from work late or ill, nor did I ever see my father take a “night out with the boys”. He had no bobbies but just took care of his family.
For 22 years, since I left home for college, my father called me every Sunday at 9:00 am. He was always interested in my life-how my family was doing. The calls even came when he and my mother were in Australia, England or Florida.
Nine years ago when I bought me first house, my father, 67 years old, spent eight hours a day for three days, painting my house. He would not allow me to pay someone to have it done. All he asked, was a glass of iced tea, and that I hold a paintbrush for him and talk to him. But I was too busy, for I had a law practice to run, and I could not take the time to hold the paintbrush, or talk to my father.
Five years ago, my 71-year-old father spent five hours putting together a swing set(秋千)for my daughter. Again, all he asked was that I get him a glass of iced tea, and talk to him, But again, I had laundry to do, and the house to clean.
The morning on Sunday, January 16, 1995, my father telephoned me as usual, this time he had seemed to have forgotten some things we had discussed the week before. I had to get to church, and I cut the conversation short.
The call came at 4:40 am. That day my father was sent to hospital in Florida. I got on a plane immediately, and I vowed(發(fā)誓)that when I arrived, I would make up for the lost time, and have a nice long talk with him ad really get to know him.
I arrived in Florida at 1:00 am, but my father had passed away at 9:12 pm. This time it was he who did not have time to talk, or time to wait for me.
In the years since his death I have learnt much about my father, and even more about every single day.
【小題1】 We know from the reading that the father_____.

A.liked to paint houses
B.had no friends around him
C.was not healthy in his youth
D.thought of his family as his all

A.could only afford a glass of iced tea
B.was too busy to talk to her father
C.could do nothing but hold a paintbrush
D.spent eight hours a day working with her father

A.seemed to be a little different
B.had no time to phone her as usual
C.became interested in church
D.had forgotten to discuss some things with her
【小題4】In the reading the underlined phrase ‘get to know him’ most probably means_____.
A.get him to know her B.know more about him
C.get him to know himself D.make him well-known
【小題5】 Which is the best title of the reading?
A.Painting Houses B.Daughter’s Family
