五、任务型阅读（每小题2分 满分10分）
Polite problems
I’ve noticed a scary amount of politeness lately, and it has made me a little nervous.
I say “scary” because I am not used to being met at the door of a business and led to the proper area of a store to find what I need.
In more familiar times, one would walk into a department store unnoticed, go up to a sales associate, and find him or her talking on a telephone.
You would wait for a minute or so to ask a question of the person, usually a woman. And she, finally deciding to notice you, would turn to face you and say “Yes ” impatiently.
You would ask if her department have a certain popular brand and she would point and say “If we do, they’re over there” and turn back to her phone.
That type of behavior still exists in many stores. But I have noticed a Type B associate lately.
For instance, I was at a store the other day to purchase a battery.
I was met at the door by a friendly woman who gave me a basket, asked what I was looking for, and led me to the battery I needed.
On the very same day, I stopped at a nearby grocery store. I was looking for a special type of bread and the associate wanted to lead me to that too. I said no since I knew where it was, but she led me there anyhow.
Everyone was so sweet that I felt like I was drowning in maple syrup.
Later, I was on the phone to an incredibly polite bank associate who could not help me with an online request. He was so upset that he couldn’t do so that I felt him nearly collapse. With sadness in his voice, he said I had to appear in person at a nearby branch to do my business because they needed me to give them my Social Security number in person. I said, “not a chance” and hung up, but then I began to worry if I had made him kill himself. I think his name was Gary.
Gary, if you’re out there, think of your mom and your little sisters and don’t do anything crazy. It’s just that I’m not used to politeness from a banker, and I forgive your sweetness.
31．Why does the author feel nervous when someone is extremely polite to him
32．What does the author think of walking into a department store unnoticed
33．Why didn’t the author want the associate to lead him to the bakery
34．What did the author feel when people were so sweet
35．What is the author’s attitude towards the banker

Sarah did as she said. She didn’t do any housework. Every evening she sat on the sofa and watched TV. A week later, every dish in the kitchen was dirty. All the children’s clothes were dirty, too. Every trash can was full. The whole house was out of order.

There are certain things you never imagine yourself saying.
“I just got a worm in my eye!” is one of them.
And yet I did say it—I screamed it, actually.
The family was all here and we were in the garden, when I saw a worm nearby. I asked my six-year-old grandson to come over and remove the worm. He picked up the worm, studied it quickly and then threw it into the air.
The worm quickly fell back to earth, landing on my face against my left eyelid. That’s when the screaming started and the jumping up and down.
You know how they say when you meet a small creature, that the small creature is just as afraid of you as you are of it They lie.
The worm showed no fear. I, however, am still having nightmares about the experience, which was several days ago.
The most important thing in all this is that my grandson said he was sorry to me.
I’d just been reading a book that makes a connection between adults doing the slow and hard work of teaching manners to children and greater levels of civility in society.
Table manners, language manners and even manners in dress all show levels of self-control.
Having self-control limits what we say and how we behave, making many of us appear a good deal better than we really are.
Good manners also have the possibility to make mealtime a pleasant experience, even with small children.
All of my grandchildren, except the ones that can’t yet talk, ask to be excused before leaving the table.
It is a sign of respect for others at the table and a sign of respect for the meal itself. It’s also more pleasant than pushing one’s chair back and running for the back yard.
Those tall enough, and even those not tall enough, also take their dishes to the kitchen.
Manners are what civilize us—around our tables, in our families, homes and our communities.
So when a little boy has the courage to apologize to a grandma who is screaming and jumping up and down, at least we know that our years of teaching young people manners are paying off—one worm at a time.
51．Where were they when the author saw a worm
A．In the house. B．In the garden.
C．In the park. D．In the back yard.
52．The worm fell down on the author’s________.
A．leg B．head C．left eyelid D．right eyelid
53．What does the underlined word “nightmares” mean
A．好运 B．噩梦 C．回忆 D．愿望
54．The author believed that his grandson’s apology is________.
A．a good manner B．a bad behavior C．unnecessary D．a must
55．What does the passage tell us
A．The importance of apology. B．The importance of good manners.
C．Many kinds of good manners. D．A story of a worm.
Our polite, little phrases
Many of us share these kinds of verbal habits: pausing at certain moments, filling in sentences with extra words or qualifying statements to make them sound more honest.
For example, have you ever been told by your friend: “I am only telling you this because I care about you—you really need to lose weight” Or, by your classmate: “No offense, but to be perfectly honest, you’ve done a terrible job”
These speech acts are called “verbal tee-ups”, according to a recent Wall Street Journal article. They are like cushions meant to soften bad or unpleasant news. Other verbal tee-ups include: “Don’t take this the wrong way, but…”, or “Don’t get mad, but…”.
For speakers, verbal tee-ups make it easier to say difficult things. They sound formal and polite. But aren’t they dishonest
According to James W. Pennebaker, Psychology Department chair at the University of Texas at Austin, US, these phrases “are to formalize social relations so you don’t have to reveal your true self”, he told The Wall Street Journal.
However, Anne Curzan, professor of English at the University of Michigan, US, says that verbal tee-ups are a bit like traffic signals. “If we know that we’re about to say something potentially damaging, it can be nice to give the listener a moment to prepare for the message,” she wrote in the article Verbal Tee-ups: A More Positive Spin, published in The Chronicle of Higher Education.
Curzan gives an example. Suppose she needs an extension from an editor because she can’t get her article done on time. She might start her request with “I’m sorry to have to ask…”, or “I understand if this isn’t possible…”.
She could just say: “I need an extension”. But that doesn’t “feel very polite”, Curzan noted. Instead, it’s “sudden” and doesn’t “give the editor any choice”.
56．What’s the purpose of pausing at certain moments and fill in sentences with extra words
A．To give a pause.
B．To make them sound more honest.
C．To make an apology.
D．To give thanks.
57．What’s the function of “verbal tee-ups”
A．To soften bad or unpleasant news.
B．To soften good news.
C．To give bad or unpleasant news.
D．To make others feel uncomfortable.
58．According to Anne Curzan, if we’re about to say something potentially damaging, it’s better to ________.
A．give a pause
B．use “verbal tee-ups”
C．say it directly
D．say sorry
59．If we don’t use “verbal tee-ups”, it means________.
A．we are honest B．we are polite
C．we are impolite D．we have news to say
60．What’s the passage mainly about
A．“Verbal tee-ups”—a polite verbal habits.
B．“Verbal tee-ups”—a bad habits.
C．Verbal habits.
D．An honest pause.
Expressing yourself
“Don’t fight with a French-learner!!!!!” “Over 40 degrees in summer, right !!!! No heater in winter, right !!!!”
Recently, you may have seen a lot of expressions like the above online. It is the latest popular style called “roaring genre”. It has short sentences, a complaining tone and a lot of exclamation marks.
Internet users say the style is just a way of letting out emotions, and in fact, it shows an active attitude towards life. But, at first, many of us think people who speak this way are quite angry. Sometimes we may feel afraid of the tone and the exclamation marks.
Why Because on the Internet, we can’t see the face of a person when he or she posts a message. We can only guess if that person is happy or angry. And we could be wrong.
There are rules of behavior to follow when you’re online. It is important to remember that you are dealing with “real” people. So you should use the best manners —just like you would at home or in school.
For example, when you chat in English with someone online, you shouldn’t type in all capital letters, because this means you are shouting. It can easily upset people, even if you don’t do it on purpose. You can use asterisks, like *this* or lines, like _this_, to emphasize a word. Or, you can use emoticons to tell the person what you’re feeling.
Also, it is not polite to use short forms unless you are talking to your good friends. For example, use “see you later”, instead of “CU L8er”.
61．The expressions in the first paragraph are called ________.
A．complaining genre B．roaring genre C．ironic genre D．critical genre
62．What’s the characteristic of the “roaring genre”
A．It has long sentences. B．It has a complaining tone.
C．It has no marks. D．It has many words.
63．Internet users think “roaring genre” shows________ towards life.
A．an active attitude B．a negative attitude
C．no attitude D．complaint
64．We should be________ when we are online.
A．mad B．active C．critical D．polite
65．When we chat online, typing in all capital letters means________.
A．we are polite
B．we don’t want to chat with others
C．we are shouting
D．we are happy
