It’s like their favorite phrase, almost as common as saying “hello” or “goodbye”! In Britain, people use “excuse me” in so many situations, even when they haven’t done anything wrong. Let me tell you about some funny yet charming examples where Brits say this magic word. Imagine you’re walking down a busy London street, and someone wants to pass by. Instead of just squeezing (挤) through, they’ll politely say, “Excuse me.” It’s their way of respecting and asking for a bit of space nicely. In shops or supermarkets, if they needs to reach for something on a higher shelf, Brits often turn to the nearest person and say, “Excuse me,”even if they’re not in anyone’s way. It’s just a habit, a sweet way of making sure they’re not troubling anyone while they reach out their hands. Even in conversations, Brits might say “excuse me” if they need to interrupt (插嘴) someone or if they think they might have misunderstood something. It’s a polite way of making sure the communication goes well. So, why do Brits say “excuse me” so much? Maybe it’s because they’re polite by nature, or perhaps it’s just a cultural habit that’s been passed down through generations (几代人). Whatever the reason, this little phrase adds a warm, friendly touch to everyday communication, making Britain a more pleasant place to be. In conclusion, “excuse me” in Britain is more than just an apology (道歉); it’s a social lubricant (润滑油), a way of showing respect in all walks of life. So next time you’re in the UK and hear this magic word, smile and remember, it’s just a little bit of British charm! 37. When will Brits possibly say “excuse me”? A. When they make a mistake and feel sorry. B. When they ask for directions on the street. C. When they want to start a conversation. D. All the above. 38. Why do Brits say “excuse me” when they reach for something on a higher shelf in shops or supermarkets? A. To ask for help from the nearest person. B. To apologize for being in someone’s way. C. To make sure they are not disturbing anyone. D. To tell others about their intention to buy something. 39. According to the article, why do Brits use “excuse me” so often in conversations? A. To apologize for their mistakes. B. To keep a distance with others. C. To avoid being interrupted by others. D. To make sure they understand the conversation correctly. 40.

What is the article mainly about? A. The different ways Brits greet each other. B. The frequent use of “excuse me” by Brits. C. The politeness of British people in general. D. Cultural habits passed down through generations in Britain. 【答案】37. D 38. C 39. D 40. A 41. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一些有趣而迷人的例子，英国人说“excuse me”这个神奇的词的场所、原因以及其在英国文化中的描绘。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Imagine you’re walking down a busy London street, and someone wants to pass by.”，第三段中“In shops or supermarkets, if they needs to reach for something on a higher shelf, Brits often turn to the nearest person and say, ‘Excuse me,’ even if they’re not in anyone’s way.”以及第四段中“Even in conversations, Brits might say ‘excuse me’ if they need to interrupt (插嘴) someone or if they think they might have misunderstood something.”可知，当他们犯错并感到抱歉时，他们在街上问路时以及当他们想开始谈话时都会说“excuse me”。故选D。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“It’s just a habit, a sweet way of making sure they’re not troubling anyone while they reach out their hands.”可知，英国人在商店或超市里伸手去拿较高货架上的东西时会说“excuse me”的原因是确保他们没有打扰任何人。故选C。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“It’s a polite way of making sure the communication goes well.”可知，英国人在对话中经常使用“excuse me”的原因是确保他们正确理解对话。故选D。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“In conclusion, ‘excuse me’ in Britain is more than just an apology (道歉); it’s a social lubricant (润滑油), a way of showing respect in all walks of life.”可知，作者把“excuse me”描述为英国文化中的社交润滑油。故选A。 【41题详解】 主旨大意题。根据通读全文可知，主要介绍了一些有趣而迷人的例子，英国人说“excuse me”这个神奇的词的场所、原因以及其在英国文化中的描绘。故选B。 C Middle school can be a hard time, filled with stress from schoolwork, changes in friendships, and the pressures of growing up.

The Swedish Academy (瑞典学院) gave him the award for his “new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.” Dylan’s songs are known for their deep meanings and beautiful lyrics. Many people say his words are like poetry. Over the years, he has written hundreds of songs that talk about life, love, and social issues. From singing about the struggles of young people in the 1960s to thinking about the complexities (复杂性) of life in the 21st century, Dylan’s lyrics have always been deep and made people think.

When Dylan heard he had won the Nobel Prize, he was on tour and couldn’t believe it. In a special message, he thanked everyone who had inspired him and supported his music. Dylan’s win shows that music and literature can go hand in hand, and that both can have a big influence on our lives.

B Have you ever noticed how Brits (英国人) love to say “excuse me”? It’s like their favorite phrase, almost as common as saying “hello” or “goodbye”! In Britain, people use “excuse me” in so many situations, even when they haven’t done anything wrong. Let me tell you about some funny yet charming examples where Brits say this magic word. Imagine you’re walking down a busy London street, and someone wants to pass by. Instead of just squeezing (挤) through, they’ll politely say, “Excuse me.” It’s their way of respecting and asking for a bit of space nicely. In shops or supermarkets, if they needs to reach for something on a higher shelf, Brits often turn to the nearest person and say, “Excuse me,”even if they’re not in anyone’s way. It’s just a habit, a sweet way of making sure they’re not troubling anyone while they reach out their hands. Even in conversations, Brits might say “excuse me” if they need to interrupt (插嘴) someone or if they think they might have misunderstood something. It’s a polite way of making sure the communication goes well. So, why do Brits say “excuse me” so much? Maybe it’s because they’re polite by nature, or perhaps it’s just a cultural habit that’s been passed down through generations (几代人). Whatever the reason, this little phrase adds a warm, friendly touch to everyday communication, making Britain a more pleasant place to be. In conclusion, “excuse me” in Britain is more than just an apology (道歉); it’s a social lubricant (润滑油), a way of showing respect in all walks of life. So next time you’re in the UK and hear this magic word, smile and remember, it’s just a little bit of British charm! 37. When will Brits possibly say “excuse me”? A. When they make a mistake and feel sorry. B. When they ask for directions on the street. C. When they want to start a conversation. D. All the above. 38. Why do Brits say “excuse me” when they reach for something on a higher shelf in shops or supermarkets? A. To ask for help from the nearest person. B. To apologize for being in someone’s way. C. To make sure they are not disturbing anyone. D. To tell others about their intention to buy something. 39. According to the article, why do Brits use “excuse me” so often in conversations? A. To apologize for their mistakes. B. To keep a distance with others. C. To avoid being interrupted by others. D. To make sure they understand the conversation correctly. 40.

What is the article mainly about? A. The different ways Brits greet each other. B. The frequent use of “excuse me” by Brits. C. The politeness of British people in general. D. Cultural habits passed down through generations in Britain. C Middle school can be a hard time, filled with stress from schoolwork, changes in friendships, and the pressures of growing up. It’s normal to feel bad emotions like sadness, anger, or anxiety. ____42____ Here are some tips to help you deal with these challenges. Talk it out ____43____ Sometimes, just talking about what’s bothering you can lighten the load. It’s like opening a window to let fresh air in when you’re feeling stressed. Stay active Exercise or develop a hobby to lower stress. Physical activity releases endorphins (内啡肽), which are natural mood lifters. ____44____ Hobbies, like painting or playing an instrument, also provide a creative outlet (释放) for your emotions. Set small goals ____45____ By breaking them down into manageable parts, you’ll feel delighted as you complete each step. This builds your confidence and makes the overall task less stressful. Seek help If you need it, talk to a counselor (咨询师) or mental health professional. Sometimes, we all need a little extra support. School counselors or therapists (治疗师) are trained to listen and offer professional help. Remember, it’s okay to have bad days. What’s important is how you handle them. You’re not alone in this journey, and it’s okay to ask for help. Every step you take towards understanding and managing your feelings is a step towards a healthier, happier you. ____46____ 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。 A. Keep your head up, and you’ll get through it! B. Break tasks into smaller steps to avoid feeling stressed out. C. But it’s important to learn how to accept and manage these feelings. D.
