Knowing how to ask for information and help politely is important. In English, “Where are the restrooms?” and “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?” are similar requests (請求) — both are correct English, but the first could sound rude. 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.

In English, just like in Chinese, we change the way we speak when talking with different people. The expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them. 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 alright to say “Where is my book?” to the 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 (附加的) language, such as “Could you please...?” or “Can I ask...?” It sounds more polite to say, “Peter, could you please lend me your pen?” 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 him for help.
It might seem that speaking politely is more difficult than being direct, and in a way this may be true.
小題1:When we make requests, we need to speak in a ____ way.
A．politeB．carefulC．differentD．direct
小題2:You should say “____” when you ask a stranger for a way.
A．Which is the way to the zoo?
B．How can I get to the zoo?
C．Do you know the way to the zoo?
D．Excuse me. Can you tell me the way to the zoo?
小題3:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．We should use long sentences when we ask for information and help.
B．When we ask for help from others, polite language must be used.
C．The way of speaking is important when we ask different people for help.
D．In English, polite questions are as neccessary as rude and direct ones.

Some inventions are so useful, but seem so simple, that we wonder why no one thought of them long ago. Post-it Notes, the pieces of paper that you can fasten almost anywhere and then remove without leaving any sign that they were there, are an example of such an invention.
　　Post-it Notes were invented about twenty years ago by Art Fry, a scientist at 3M Corporation. The idea for the product came from a frustrating experience he often had while singing in his church choir. Fry used pieces of paper as bookmarks to mark the places in his book of songs, but these bookmarks were always falling out. He knew he needed a bookmark that would stay where he put it, but that he could remove without damaging the pages.
　　Around that time, Fry heard about a new adhesive (粘合劑) that a workmate, Dr. Spence Silver, had created. This adhesive was special because it was sticky, but not too sticky. It was strong enough to hold papers together, but weak enough to not tear the paper when it was removed. Fry saw that the new adhesive could help solve his bookmark problem. One morning, Fry put some of the adhesive on the edge of a piece of paper. Just as he hoped, it made a perfect bookmark.
A short time later, Fry realized that his new invention had even more uses than being a great bookmark. He came to this realization when he wrote a note on one of his new "bookmarks" and attached it to a report he was going to give to a workmate. Soon, co-workers were asking Fry for more samples of his invention so that they could use the new type of notes themselves.
　　Fry and some other people at 3M believed so much in the new product that they persuaded the company to give away thousands of the "sticky pieces of paper" for trial use(試用). When some salespeople at 3M went to offices and showed workers just how helpful the new type of notes could be, they immediately received many orders. As more and more people discovered how useful Post-it Notes could be, the product took off.
小題1:The invention of Post-it Notes showed that Art Fry________ .
A．had a lot of knowledge
B．was very hard-working
C．was good at creative thinking
D．loved his job in the church
小題2: In what way did Dr. Spence help Art Fry?
A．They worked together and often discussed science.
B．His invention of a special adhesive made Art's invention possible.
C．He advised 3M Corporation to give away lots of Post-it Notes for trial use.
D．He worked together with Art by providing the new adhesive for Art.
小題3: The underlined phrase "took off" means_______ .
A．started to leave the groundB．disappeared from the market
C．had even more usesD．became popular very quickly
小題4:The biggest advantage of Post-it Notes is_______.
A．it can stay anywhere and leave no sign when removed　　
B．it is very cheap to use　　
C．it is good to write notes on
D．it is very thin and beautiful

It's not just women who wear skirts. Men can wear them, too. In Scotland, men wear a kind of skirt called a kilt. The kilt is their national dress and an important part of their tradition (傳統(tǒng)).
A kilt is a colored skirt reaching down to the knees(膝蓋). It has checks (格子) on it with different colors, like red or blue. Each family in Scotland has its own colors.
How did the Scots start to wear kilts? There are many stories about it. One story is that the kilt was invented (發(fā)明) in the 1720s by an English factory owner, Thomas Rawlinson. Rawlinson had a lot of Scottish workers in his factory and he thought their clothing got in the way of their work. So he cut their long clothes into a shorter skirt.
Today, most Scotsmen see kilts as formal(正式)dresses. They usually only wear them at weddings or big dinners. There are only a few men who still wear a kilt every day. Scots also wear kilts in parades when they play their traditional musical instrument(樂器): bagpipes (風(fēng)笛). The army still has kilts as the dress uniform (制服), but they no longer wear them to fight (打仗).
