Today, roller skating (滑旱冰) is easy and fun. But many years ago, it wasn’t easy at all. Before 1750, people never tried skating on wheels. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlin’s work was making instruments. In his free time he liked to play the violin. Merlin was a man with many ideas and many dreams. People called him a dreamer.
One day Merlin received an invitation to go to an important party. He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think. He wanted to find a way to make a wonderful entrance at the party. Merlin had an idea. He thought that he would attract a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.
Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skate shoes. Merlin was very proud ofthem. He dreamed of arriving at the party and skating into the room while playing the violin. He was sure that everyone would be very surprised.
On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room, playing his violin. Everyone was really surprised to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skating.

“Have a nice day!” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says ‘have a nice day’ with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.
‘Have a nice day, next!’ this version of the expression is spoken by a sales girl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business.
The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expressions save us when we don’t know what to say. ‘Oh, you just had a tooth out I am terrible sorry, but have a nice day.’
The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says ‘have a nice day’ to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.
Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it’s a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way. It’s nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when their really don’t care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it’s always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.
( ) 41. How does the author understand Maxi’s words
A. Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.
B. Maxie really wishes the author a good day.
C. Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.
D. Maxie really worries about the author’s security.
( ) 42. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean
A. The salesgirl is rude.
B. The salesgirl is bored.
C. The salesgirl cares about me.
D. The salesgirl says the words as a routine.
( ) 43.By saying“Have a nice day,”a stranger may _____.
5
A. try to be polite to you
B. express respect to you
C. give his blessing to you
D. share his pleasure with you
( ) 44.According to the last paragraph, people say“Have a nice day”_______.
A. sincerely
B. as thanks
C. as a habit
D. encouragingly
( ) 45. What is the best title of the passage
A. Have a Nice Day—a Social Custom
B. Have a Nice Day—a Pleasant Gesture
C. Have a Nice Day—a Heart-warming Greeting
D. Have a Nice Day—a Polite Ending ofa Conversation
