Finally, one night, I 43 her, “Don’t do that any more. Your hands are too rough!” She didn’t say anything, 44 she never did it again.

Reading Comprehension

“How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way that people in the U.S.A greet each other. But “How are you?” is also a very unusual question. It’s a question that 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. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine” isn’t really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”.

Sometimes, people also 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 not sure.” It’s a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone.

People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person say “I’ve to go now.” Often, the person who wants to hang up gives and excuse: “Someone’s at the door.” “Something is burning on the stove.” The excuses might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up 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, of finishing a talk, people don’t say exactly that they are thinking. It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it’s part of the game of language.

1.“How are you?” is another way of saying "Hello." or" Hi."

2.It is polite lo say" No. I disagree I think you are wrong, "if you don’t agree with others.

3.When someone says "I have to go now "On the phone.it means he wants to go on talking.

4."Someone is at the door." may be an excuse for finishing a plume can.

5.Sometimes people don't say exactly what they are thinking about just became they try to be

nice to each other.

Asking for information or help is a very common and necessary activity, especially when we visit a foreign country. ____1____ In English, "Where are the restrooms?" and "Could you please

tell me where the restrooms are?" are similar requests—both are correct English, but the first could sound rude. ____2____

In English, just like in Chinese, we change the way we speak when talking with different people. ____3____ If you say to your teacher, "Where is my book?" this will sound rude. But if you say, "Excuse me, Mr. West. Do you know where my book is?" your question will sound much more polite. On the other hand, it might be all right to say "Where is my book?" in some situations, perhaps with people you know well.

And you would not usually say, "Peter, lend me your pen. " A very direct order like this can sound rude in English. Usually in English polite questions are longer and include extra language, such as "Could you please...?" or "Can I ask...?" It sounds more polite to say, "Peter, could you please lend me your pen?" ____4____ For example, if you stop a stranger in the street, we might

first say, "Excuse me. I wonder if you can help me. " or "I’m sorry to trouble you but," before asking them for help.

It might seem that speaking politely is more difficult than being direct, and in a way this may be true. ____5____ And doing this will also help you become better at English, or any other language you wish to speak.

A.Sometimes we might even need to spend some time leading in to a question or request.

B.So knowing how to ask for information politely is important.

C.It’s important to use correct language, but sometimes this alone is not enough—we need to

learn how to be polite when we make requests.

D.The expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you

know them.

E.It is an important way that people try to be nice to each other.

F.However, in order not to offend people, learning about the language etiquette is just as

important as learning grammar or vocabulary.

Good communication skills are key to success in life, work and relationships. Without effective(有效的) communication, a message can turn into error, misunderstanding, or even disaster.

Communication is the process by which we exchange information between people. To communicate well is to understand and to be understood. Communication can be successful only when both the sender and the receiver understand the same information.

In today's highly informational and technological environment, it has become more important to have good communication skills. Here are some important steps to communicate effectively.

Know what you want to say and why. Understand clearly the purpose of your message. Know

to whom you are communicating and why.

How will you say it? We all know that it's not always what you say, but how you say it, that matters. Begin by making eye contact. You show trust and confidence when you look at others in the eyes when you speak. Second, pay attention to your body language, since it can say so much morethan your words. By standing with your arms easily at your side, you tell others that you are open to hearing what they have to say.

Communication is a two-way street. After you have said what you have to say, stop and listen. Practice your listening skills. Be considerate of others are talking; listen carefully and never cut them off.
