Dear Miss Li，
I’d like to thank y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ou for sending money to “Animal Helpers”，an organization set up to help disabled people. You have helped make 31 possible for me to have “Lucky”，who has filled my life 32 pleasure. Let me tell you my story.
Being blind，deaf，unable to walk or use your hands easily is something 33 most people can’t imagine. But there are many people who face these challenges，and I’m one of them. Because I can’t use my arms or legs well，normal things like 34 the telephone，opening and shutting doors or carrying things 35 difficult for me. Then one day last year，a friend of 36 said that she would like to help me out. She said she would talk to “Animal Helpers” to see if it would be possible for me to get a specially 37 dog. I told her that I love animals and that I’d love to have a dog.
After six months of training with a dog at “Animal Helpers”，I was able to bring him home. My dog’s name is“Lucky”—a good name for him because I feel very lucky to have him. You see, I’m only able to have a “dog-helper” 38 your kind donation （捐款，捐赠物）！
39 does Lucky h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )elp me，you might ask？Well，he has been trained to understand different words, such as“upstairs”or“downstairs”.
Lucky is an amazi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng dog. I’ll send you a photo of him if you like，and I could show you how he helps me too one day. And so I thank you again for supporting“Animal Helpers”. Your donation is greatly appreciated and the money 40 to help disabled people like me.
Best wishes，
Liz Smith

Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.” Bryan quickly fixed the car and the lady thanked him. Then she asked how much she should pay him.
But Bryan wanted no ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) money. He was just giving a hand to someone in trouble. This was normal for him. He said, “If you really want to repay me, next time you see someone in need, help them and think of me.”
After saying goodbye, the lady continued down the road until she reached a small café where she decided to stop for something to eat. As the pretty waitress took her order, the lady noticed she was nearly eight months pregnant （怀孕的）. Although the waitress looked tired she was very kind. As the lady was going to pay the ＄10 bill she remembered Bryan’s words.
She paid with a hundred-dollar bill. But when the waitress returned with the change the lady was gone. On the table she saw a small note.

根据文章内容，判断文后句子是（T）否（F）正确。
“How are you ” is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a nice question. It’s a friendly way for Americans to greet each other. But “How are you ” is also a very unusual question. It 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. In fact, they are not really a question or an answer. They are simply other ways of saying “Hello.” or “Hi.”
Sometimes, people a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lso 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 afraid...”It’s a nicer way to disagree.
People also don ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many phone talks finish when one person says “I have to go now.” Often, the person who wants to finish the phone call gives an excuse, “Someone’s at the door.” The excuse might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to finish the phone call 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, thinking of finishing a talk, people don’t say exactly what they are thinking about. It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it is part of the game of language.
46. “How are you ” ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is another way of saying “Hello.” or “Hi.” ( )
47. It is polite to s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ay “No, I disagree. I think you are wrong.” if you don’t agree with others.
( )
48. When someo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ne says “I have to go now.” on the phone, it means he wants to go on talking.
( )
49. “Someone is at ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the door.” may be an excuse for finishing a phone call. ( )
50. Sometimes, peop ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )le don’t say exactly what they are thinking about just because they try to be
nice to each other. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) ( )
