三、阅读单选
Every English learner needs to know how to ask for something in English. There are a number of ways to do this. If you know someone has something, you can ask for it with a polite question. If you don’t know, it’s possible to ask for something with a yes or no question. Be careful not to use the direct expressions. In other words, don’t say “Give me that”, but ask kindly as the following examples, “Do you have a pen I could borrow ” “Is there any wine ” “Did you buy any bread ”
If you know or see someone has something, ask a polite question with “could”, “may” or “might”. It’s also possible to use “can” in some special situations. In the past, “can” was not used when people asked for something, but meant ability. In the UK, people mainly use “Can you lend me… ” or “Can I have… ” In the US, this is still considered to be wrong and “May I have… ” is preferred.
It’s common to use “Could you lend/hand/give… ” You can also use: “May/Can I borrow… ” “Could/Can you lend me… ” “May I have… ” “Could you hand/give me… ” Do not begin a sentence with “please”, but you can add “please” at the end of the sentence to be polite.
36.What can we ask if we know someone has something
A.A direct question. B.A no question.
C.A yes question. D.A polite question.

Good evening, everyone. Now, it’s time for Words and Their Stories. Most of you have heard the expression “raining cats and dogs”. We use it when it is raining very hard.
Now, we have another useful expression about hard rain—When it rains, it pours! This means that when something bad happens, other bad things happen at the same time.
Sometimes, a person is “under a cloud”. That means he or she is thought to have done something bad. However, if you add a few extra words to the expression, the meaning changes greatly. For example, if I’m living under a dark cloud, it means I’m _________.
But even for people living under a dark cloud, there is hope. And that brings us to our last expression—every cloud has a silver lining. This expression means there is always something hopeful in even the most difficult situation. Even a really terrible event may produce something happy. For example, let’s say a friend of yours is in an accident. She isn’t badly hurt but her car is too damaged(被损坏的)to fix. When the truck driver comes to take her car off the road, she starts talking to him. They find out that they share a love of old cars. So, they become good friends. When she tells this story to her friends and family, they often say the same thing, “Every cloud has a silver lining!”
Thanks for listening!
