21、【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.
22、Do you want to be a volunteer? Maybe you need some ideas. Here is some advice.
Help kids learn and grow. Be a big brother or sister at an after-school care center. You can help little kids to learn or play with them.
Give back during the holidays. Serve dinner to the homeless, volunteer at an old people’s home, or give out toys to kids.
Help at an animal shelter (庇护所). Most shelters depend on (依靠) volunteers to keep the cats and dogs happy and take them to exercise. And when you’re walking dogs, you get some exercise, too.
Protect (保护) the environment. Take part in a park clean-up day. Plant a tree. Join a group to work together to protect a river.
Help sick people. Helping others can make you feel good. When you cheer sick people up, you also feel happy. If you have several hobbies, find a way to do them all. For example, if you love kids and are good at painting and dancing, visit a children’s hospital and teach them these interesting things.

23、How we spend our time can be divided into three groups, or "jars". These would be the necessary tasks jar, the voluntary tasks jar and the happiness jar.
Every day, we spend time filling the necessary tasks jar. We fill this jar with useful things, like making money, housework, buying food. We then fill another jar with voluntary tasks. These are things that we do for others, but we may not enjoy them, such as taking children to activities and cooking family meals. Those jars are very important. If we don’t fill them each day, our family won’t be happy.
However, we often forget to fill the third jar — the happiness jar. This is the jar that we fill with activities to make us happy. Is your happiness jar sometimes empty at the end of the day? We all have days like that. Between doing all the necessary and voluntary tasks, time flies quickly and before we know it, it is time for bed.
That is why each day we try to fill our happiness jar. Most days, I fill mine by going to the ballroom dance(社交舞) class with my husband and daughter. Between the music, the dancing and the friendship among the students, I always leave classes happier than when I entered.
Music is another way to make me happy. This week, I was glad to take part in an orchestra(管弦乐队) practice at my church(教堂). A small group of us met to practice Christmas music for a church service. It was a time of fun, friendship and music making. At the end of the evening, my happiness jar was full.
This week, think about how you spent your time. Are you doing enough activities that bring joy to your life? Or are the necessary and voluntary tasks eating up all your time? Try to find ways to achieve a balance(获得平衡) among your three jars. At the end of the day, hopefully we’ve done all we can to make sure that our happiness jar is filled.
【1】How many groups can we divide our time into?

D. She takes her husband and daughter to dance club in order to make them happy.
【3】What can we do to fill the happiness jar according to the passage?
A. Wash clothes B. Watch a film
C. Mop the floor D. Look after children
【4】What can we know from Paragraph 4 and 5?
A. The writer took a class at church to practice music.

24、Some British and American people like to invite friends for a meal at home. You should not be upset (不安的) if your English friends don't invite you home. It doesn't mean they don't like you. Sometimes they just can't afford to do so.
Dinner parties usually start between 7 and 8 p.m. and end at about 11. Ask your hosts what time you should arrive. It's polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a gift.
Usually the evening starts with drinks and snacks. If you want to be extra polite, say how much you like the room, or the pictures on the wall. But remember: it's not polite to ask how much things cost.
In many families, the husband sits at one of the table and the wife sits at the other end. They eat with their guests.
You'll probably start the meal with soup or something small, then you'll have meat or fish with vegetables, and then dessert (甜点), followed by coffee. It's polite to finish everything on your plate and to take more if you want it.
Did you enjoy the evening? Call your hosts the next day, or write them a short "thank you" letter. British and American people like to say "thank you, thank you, thank you" all the time!

25、 My father was born in a small town in the US. He wanted to get out and begin a new adventure (冒险).
He 【1】(begin) that adventure by traveling to different cities in the US before going on to other countries with his wife and three daughters.
It’s easy to feel 【2】when you’re on the road alone, although my mother said repeatedly, “We made lots of new friends on our trip—most of them were workers who fix 【3】cars, because we often spent hours 【4】(repair) our car during the journey.”
Getting 【5】with each other sometimes seemed impossible. We always【6】(argue) a lot. But even if it was hard, we did learn a lot about forgiveness (谅解).
When in the Philippines, we drove to Quezon City one day. It should have been a one-hour drive but was nearly three 【7】(thank) to bad roads and worse traffic. Another day, neither of my parents put our suitcases (行李箱) in the car. It took us another 8 hours to go【8】to get them. It was quite peaceful in our car during that whole time.
In 【9】(situation) like that, we had to learn to let go of our angry feelings. We were stuck (困在) in a rolling box with the same people for the rest of the journey. We learned to be understanding.
This is why road trips were like moving (移动的) universities to us. We got our PhDs (博士学位) in how 【10】(get) on with other people just by traveling in that old car.
