When you ask someone a question in English, it could come across as being a little impolite
if you say it directly. That’s why we should use some indirect (间接的) questions when we make
1 . Luckily, there are lots of different words and sentences that help you sound 2 .
Read the following helpful skills about how to 3 your questions.
Start with “Excuse me” or “Pardon me” to get a person’s 4 . If you’re close to a
stranger, try out one of them to 5 your conversation. You can also try leading with
“Sorry to bother you, but...” to ask your question.
Begin a question with “May” if you need to ask for permission. It is a great 6 to
make you politer. It’s better to ask a person if it’s OK for you to do it than 7 say what
you need or want.
Use “can”, “could” or “would”. You should 8 starting with a question word, like
“who”, “what”, “why”, or “where”. It might make your question 9 rude. You can easily
get into the question with one of these words. For example, instead of asking “Where is the
bathroom ”, you could say “Would you mind telling me where the 10 is ”.
I think all of the skills mentioned above can help you.

阅读下面短文，从各题 A、B、C、D中选出能回答问题的最佳答案。
When I was little, I was shy. I was afraid to speak up in class or make new friends. My heart
would beat fast whenever someone asked me a question, and my face would turn red like a
tomato. I spent most of my spare time playing video games and watching cartoons.
I was comfortable in my little world, but I knew something was missing.
One day, I met a new friend, Sarah. Sarah was different from me. She loved
trying new activities and meeting new people. She encouraged me to step out of
my world. We went riding, climbed trees, and tried painting together. I was scared, but Sarah
taught me that it was OK to make mistakes and that failure was a stepping stone to success.
Slowly but surely, I started to change. I began to raise my hand and share my thoughts in
class. It felt great to be heard and valued by my classmates and teachers. I even joined school
clubs and took part in talent shows.
Now, I’m different. I’m shy sometimes, but I’ve learned to be proud. I’ve discovered that
being myself is the best way to make true friends. Thanks to Sarah, I see the world as a place full
of possibilities. I’m not afraid of trying new things because they help me grow. I’m thankful for
what I’ve become—someone brave, confident, and ready to explore the world, one step at a
time.

The Mid-Autumn Festival has a history of more than 2,000 years. During these 2,000 years,
lots of Mid-Autumn traditions have been thought up by Chinese people. All the celebrations
show the happiness and excitement of people. The main celebrations during the Mid-Autumn
Festival are enjoying the full moon, eating mooncakes together and making lanterns. These three
celebrations have been passed from generation to generation. Chinese people may think the Mid-
Autumn Festival is not coming if they don’t do these three things.
In some places in China, people celebrate the festival in different ways. In Chaozhou,
Guangdong Province, people eat taro (芋头) to celebrate the festival, because the taro harvest
occurs (发生) at the same time as the festival. They eat taro and hope the harvest is good next
year. In Nanjing, people cook duck with sweet-scented osmanthus (桂花 ), because they think
sweet-scented osmanthus is a symbol of peace. In some places, people make fires inside towers
to celebrate the festival, because they think the fire is a symbol of good business (生意).
In the literary history of China, many poets wrote poems to praise (赞美) the pure moon of
Mid-Autumn night and express their feelings. The following is one of the best poems.
Thoughts on the Silent Night
—Li Bai
The moonlight is shining through the window.
And it makes me wonder if it is the frost on the ground.
