22、【语篇来自二十一世纪学生英文报·试题原创】
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”.
【1】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.
【2】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.
【3】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
【4】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
【5】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.
23、 People are so busy these days that many people have no time to cook. This becomes a problem, because most families love home cooking. The food tastes good and warm, and a family meal brings everyone together. In some families, meals are often the only times everyone sees one another at the same time.
Another reason people enjoy home cooking is that it is often a way of showing love. A parent who makes some cookies(曲奇饼)is not just satisfying a child’s sweet tooth. She or he is sending a message. The messages says, "I care about you enough to spend an hour making cookies that maybe you will eat up in 15 minutes .
There is also something about the smell of home cooking. The smell of home cooking please people of all ages. It makes most of us feel good and loved----even if we are the ones doing the cooking, "Next time you smell a cake making, stop for a moment and pay attention(关注)to your mood(心情)。”

24、 If you live in the United States, the law says you can't have a full-time job until you are 16 years old. At 14 or 15, you can work part time after school or on weekends, and during summer you can work 40 hours each week. Does all that mean that if you are younger than 14, you can't earn your own money? Of course not! Kids who are between the ages of 10 and 13 can earn money by doing lots of things.
Valerie, 11, told us that she made money by cleaning up other people's yards. Lena, 13, makes money by knitting (织) dog sweaters and selling them to her neighbors, and Reisa said she had started taking art classes and showing her work to people. People have asked her to draw pictures for them and they pay her for them. Jasmine, 13, writes articles for different magazines!
Earning is learning. By working to earn your own money, you are learning the skills you will need to succeed in life. These skills can include things like getting along with others, using technology and using your time. Some people think that asking for money is a lot easier than earning it; however, when you make your own money, you don't have to depend on someone else. The five dollars that you earn will probably make you feel a lot better in your hand than the twenty dollars you ask for.
【1】Kids can have full-time jobs at the age of ________ in the USA.
A.17 B.14 C.13 D.10
【2】If you are 15 years old, you can't work ________.

A.You are learning how to succeed by working in your teens.
B.Kids are encouraged to live independently (独立) in the USA.

【5】From the passage we know that ________.
A.parents won't let their children earn their own money
B.it's hard for kids under 14 years old to earn money in the USA
