When meeting in the morning, you can say “Good morning!”, and when meeting in the afternoon or evening, you can say “Good afternoon!” or “Good evening!” If you want to ask someone about their information, you can use “How are you?” When you answer, simply say “Fine, thank you.” Most of time, “How are you?” is only a greeting. And “Hi” or “Hello” are more common for greeting. If you want to know someone’s name, you can use “May I have your name?” instead of “What’s your name?”, it is more polite (礼貌). When you want to know how to spell someone’s name, you can use “How do you spell it?” or “Can you spell it?”. Farewell language (道别用语) can be simply “Goodbye” or “See you”.

That is, you can talk to a foreigner at some time or places. Feel free to ask him or her questions if a foreigner comes into your school, classroom, or your teachers’ office. It’s also OK to talk to foreigners in some public places. If you see a foreigner alone in a restaurant, a waiting room, or a shop, it may be the right time for you to ask him or her “Is this seat free?” or questions like that. You can probably help him or her feel more welcome. It’s pleasure to talk to a foreigner if you choose the right time and place. 1．From the second paragraph, we can know that ________.

To show you have really understood someone, say what they have just said before you tell them your idea. ♥ ▲ .

When you look at yourself in the mirror, think about the difference between a smiling face and a sad or an angry face. Most people will stay away from a sad or an angry face. The easiest way to start a conversation (对话) with someone is to say something nice about him or her. For example, you can comment on someone’s great answer to a teacher’s question, a great prize, a nice shirt, etc. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn’t it make you want to keep talking with that person? Also, ask your new friends questions about themselves.

In the US and the UK, greeting someone often starts with “How are you?”. This can be amazing for people from other countries. They might think the question needs an answer or that the person wants to talk more. In fact, people in the US and UK often just want to be friendly, even with those they don’t know. Most people want a quick answer “I’m fine, thanks, and you?” or “I’m good, thanks!” before moving on. British and American cultures try to make people open and friendly. US people may also say “What’s up?” to friends. It doesn’t mean “What’s wrong?”. It is just another way of saying hello. And people usually answer with “Not much” or “Nothing”. People usually say “Hello” when they meet friends. But do you know “Hello” came from the words “holla” and “hollo”? People used them as greetings in old times. It is said that Thomas Edison made the word popular (流行的) as a telephone greeting. There are also some other ways of greetings.

This week’s question comes from a student who is eager to start a conversation with the foreigners he sees every day. One student asks, “Is it Okay to try to talk to foreigners I see in the street?” The answer is yes or no, but probably no! If you see a foreigner who looks lost, it is polite to ask him, “May I help you?” But, otherwise, you should probably let them get on with their business. Situations, however, do exist (存在) where it is quite all right to talk to foreigners. If a foreigner enters your school, office, shop or restaurant, for instance (例如), feel free to ask him (for example): — What is your name? — Where do you come from? — What do you think of Beijing? — How long will you stay in Beijing? There are also situations where it’s Okay to talk to foreigners in public places. If you see a foreigner alone in a restaurant, bar or coffee shop, it may be appropriate (合适的) to ask him or her: — Is this seat free? — Do you mind if I talk to you in English? You can probably help them if they are new to China and if they are alone. You may be able to make them feel more welcome. After a few such questions, you should know whether this person wants to talk to you or not. If they ask you similar questions, or if they give long, informative answers, you’re in luck. If not, then give them their privacy (独处). Talking to strangers is fun if you choose the right time and place. 1．It is the best way to practice your spoken English with ________. A．Japanese B．Americans C．your classmates D．French people 2．From the second paragraph, we can get to know that ________. A．it is polite to stop a foreigner to talk with him in the street B．it is polite to interrupt foreigners in a conversation C．it is impolite to interrupt a foreigner when he or she is on business D．it is impolite to help a foreigner find his way 3．When you first meet a foreigner, you should say “________”. A．Where are you going? B．Have you eaten your dinner? C．Can you help me with my English? D．Nice to meet you. 4．The writer suggests us that we should ________. A．follow the foreigners when we meet them in the street B．talk with foreigners in an accepted way C．have a meal with foreigners in a restaurant D．move to a place where a foreigner lives 5．This passage comes from a newspaper in column ________. A．Sports B．Health C．Language D．Business You speak, write a letter, and make a telephone call. Your words carry a message. People communicate（交流）with words. Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. When you put up your hand in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You shake your head, and people know you are saying no. You nod and people know you are saying yes. Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus stop helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the door helps you know where to go in or out. Have you ever thought that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time? People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his drawings to tell about beautiful mountains, the blue sea and many other things. Books are written to tell about all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas. Books, magazines, TVs, radios arid films all help us communicate with others. They can help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about. 1．People communicate. ________.

A．Signs carry messages B．The important communication C．Words, signs and drawings D．Ways of communication “How are you?” is a nice question. It is a friendly way (方式) that people in the US use when they meet each other. But “How are you?” is also a very unusual question. It is a question that often doesn’t have an answer. When a person asks “How are you?”, he or she hopes to hear the answer “Fine”, even though (即使) the person’s friend isn’t fine, because “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine” isn’t really an answer. They are just other ways of saying “Hello” and “Hi”. Sometimes people don’t say what they mean. For example, when someone asks, “Do you agree?” The other person may think “No, I disagree (不同意). I think you’re wrong.” But it isn’t very polite to say so, so the other person may say “I’m not sure.” It’s a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone. People also don’t say what they think when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says “I’ve got to go now.” Often, when a person wants to hang up, he may say “Someone’s at the door.” This is usually an excuse (借口) because the person just 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’s feelings. 1．When do people use “How are you?” A．When they are not fine. B．When they meet each other. C．When they can’t find an answer. D．When they want to ask questions. 2．The underlined (划线的) word “polite” in paragraph two means (意思是) ________. A．an easy way to say or do something B．a quick way to say or do something C．a quiet way to say or do something D．a nice way to say or do something 3．According to the passage, when a person says “Someone’s at the door.” on the phone, he or she ________. A．wants to open the door B．wants you to wait for him or her C．wants to hang up the phone D．wants to hurt you 4．The writer thinks ________. A．“How are you?” is a real question that often has an answer B．we sometimes don’t mean what we say C．we never say what we think D．it isn’t a good way to say “I’m not sure.” when we disagree with someone It is important to be a good listener when your friend talks to you. It means you care about him or her. It also helps you learn more from what he or she is saying. Here is something you need to do to be a good listener. Eyes: Keep your eyes on the face of your friend. If you do not look at him or her, you may miss something important. Ears: Listen to your friend carefully. Never try to listen to any other sounds, even if it sounds more interesting. Hands: Put your hands in the right place, such as on your legs or by your sides. Do not move them all over.

When you want to know how to spell someone’s name, you can use “How do you spell it?” or “Can you spell it?”. Farewell language (道别用语) can be simply “Goodbye” or “See you”. Remember, being polite is the most important. 1．How to start a conversation? A．Good morning! B．Goodbye! C．See you! D．Fine, thank you! 2．Which is more common for greeting? A．Good afternoon!

However, he doesn’t say “sorry” when he arrives. To their surprise, he only says, “Hey, thanks for waiting.” The others say, “You’re welcome.” They feel it is fine, then they open the menu and start to order food.

It’s also OK to talk to foreigners in some public places.

People usually say “Hello” when they meet friends. But do you know “Hello” came from the words “holla” and “hollo”? People used them as greetings in old times.

One of the best ways to practice your English is to speak to a foreigner. This week’s question comes from a student who is eager to start a conversation with the foreigners he sees every day. One student asks, “Is it Okay to try to talk to foreigners I see in the street?” The answer is yes or no, but probably no! If you see a foreigner who looks lost, it is polite to ask him, “May I help you?” But, otherwise, you should probably let them get on with their business. Situations, however, do exist (存在) where it is quite all right to talk to foreigners. If a foreigner enters your school, office, shop or restaurant, for instance (例如), feel free to ask him (for example): — What is your name? — Where do you come from? — What do you think of Beijing? — How long will you stay in Beijing? There are also situations where it’s Okay to talk to foreigners in public places. If you see a foreigner alone in a restaurant, bar or coffee shop, it may be appropriate (合适的) to ask him or her: — Is this seat free? — Do you mind if I talk to you in English? You can probably help them if they are new to China and if they are alone. You may be able to make them feel more welcome. After a few such questions, you should know whether this person wants to talk to you or not. If they ask you similar questions, or if they give long, informative answers, you’re in luck. If not, then give them their privacy (独处). Talking to strangers is fun if you choose the right time and place. 1．It is the best way to practice your spoken English with ________.

Your words carry a message. People communicate（交流）with words. Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. When you put up your hand in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You shake your head, and people know you are saying no. You nod and people know you are saying yes. Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus stop helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the door helps you know where to go in or out. Have you ever thought that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time? People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his drawings to tell about beautiful mountains, the blue sea and many other things. Books are written to tell about all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas. Books, magazines, TVs, radios arid films all help us communicate with others.

It is a friendly way (方式) that people in the US use when they meet each other. But “How are you?” is also a very unusual question. It is a question that often doesn’t have an answer. When a person asks “How are you?”, he or she hopes to hear the answer “Fine”, even though (即使) the person’s friend isn’t fine, because “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine” isn’t really an answer. They are just other ways of saying “Hello” and “Hi”. Sometimes people don’t say what they mean. For example, when someone asks, “Do you agree?” The other person may think “No, I disagree (不同意). I think you’re wrong.” But it isn’t very polite to say so, so the other person may say “I’m not sure.” It’s a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone. People also don’t say what they think when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says “I’ve got to go now.” Often, when a person wants to hang up, he may say “Someone’s at the door.” This is usually an excuse (借口) because the person just 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’s feelings. 1．When do people use “How are you?” A．When they are not fine. B．When they meet each other. C．When they can’t find an answer. D．When they want to ask questions. 2．The underlined (划线的) word “polite” in paragraph two means (意思是) ________. A．an easy way to say or do something B．a quick way to say or do something C．a quiet way to say or do something D．a nice way to say or do something 3．According to the passage, when a person says “Someone’s at the door.” on the phone, he or she ________. A．wants to open the door B．wants you to wait for him or her C．wants to hang up the phone D．wants to hurt you 4．The writer thinks ________. A．“How are you?” is a real question that often has an answer B．we sometimes don’t mean what we say C．we never say what we think D．it isn’t a good way to say “I’m not sure.” when we disagree with someone 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了人们无论是在互相问候，还是谈论一个想法，还是在结束一次谈话的时候，都不会说出他们的确切想法，这是人们彼此友好相处的重要方式。 1．细节理解题。根据“‘How are you?’ is a nice question. It is a friendly way that people in the US use when they meet each other.”可知，“How are you?”是美国人见面时使用的一种友好问候方式。故选B。 2．词义猜测题。根据“the other person may say ‘I’m not sure.’ It’s a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone.”可知，当不同意某人时，说“我不确定”是更有礼貌、更友好的方式，因此“polite”指的是“a nice way to do…”。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“Often, when a person wants to hang up, he may say ‘Someone’s at the door.’”可知，说“有人在门口”可能是这个人想挂电话的借口。故选C。 4．观点态度题。由第二段“Sometimes people don’t say what they mean.”可知，有时人们也不会说出他们确切的想法，就是说我们有时所说的话并非我们内心的想法。故选B。 It is important to be a good listener when your friend talks to you.
