Knowing how to ask for information ______ (polite) is important.

In order to make the sentences more polite, we often change the way we speak when ______ (talk) with different people in different situations. Usually polite questions are longer and include some special expressions. So ______ (learn) to use the right language will help us become ______ (good) at communication with other people.

一、阅读理解

                                  （一）

About ten men in every hundred have the trouble of color blindness in some way. Women are luckier, only about one in two hundred is affected（感染）in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman.

There are different kinds of color blindness. For example, a man cannot see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades（影子）of green. Sometimes a person can’t tell the difference between blue and green. Only a few unlucky men may see everything in shades of green— a strange world indeed.

Color blindness in human beings is a different thing to explain. In only one eye there are millions of very small things called “cones（锥状细胞）”. These help us to see in the bright light and to tell differences between colors. There are also millions of “rods”（杆状细胞）, but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shapes but not colors.

Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes（蚊子）like blue but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue light will. Human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the help of the cones in our eyes, we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the help of the rods we can see shapes at night.

(   ) 1. “Color blindness” means ______ in Chinese. 

A. 盲目   B. 无色   C. 色盲   

(   ) 2. Some people say it’s safer to be driven by women because ________.

A. women drive more carefully   

B. women are better at driving than men

C. there are fewer color-blind women.

(   ) 3. With the help of the “cones”, we can ____.

A. tell different shapes      B. tell orange from yellow    C. see in the dark           

(   ) 4. We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a ____ light.  

A. red     B. yellow      C. blue   

(   ) 5. Which of the following sentences about color blindness is TRUE?

A. None of men can see deep red.

B. Not all of men have the same problem in recognizing colors.

C. None of men can tell the difference between blue and green.

                                  （二）

As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments. 

Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains (窗帘) seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day. My imagination (想象) would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the “enemy (敌人)” would not discover me. 

Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn’t let the leaders out of my sight. Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one. 

One of the processes (过程) growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.

(   ) 1. The author had _________kind(s) of fears when she was a child.  

A. one   B. two    C. three   

(   ) 2. _________ would scare the author at night.

A. Streetlight and car lights     B. Strange sights and sounds    C. Moving curtains and wind                 

(   ) 3. When she went to some other places, she would _________.

A. walk away without others     B. take a bus by herself     C. follow others closely                 

(   ) 4. Which of the following would be possibly true when she was a child?

A. She was usually popular among people.

B. She was always the leader of the others.

C. She always got poor grades. 

(   )5. The underlined word “overcome” means “_______ ”in Chinese.   

A. 接受   B. 克服   C. 信服
