“How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way that people in the U.S.A greet(问候) each other. But “How are you?” is also a very unusual(不寻常的) 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 (只)other ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”.
  Sometimes, people also don’t say exactly(确切) 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(强烈地), 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 on the phone finish when one person say “I’ve to go now.” Often, the person who wants to hang up(挂)says: “Someone’s at the door.” “Something is burning (烧)on the stove(炉).” The excuses(借口) might be real(真的), 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 (伤)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.
【小题1】“How are you?” is another way of saying "Hello." or" Hi."
【小题2】It is polite to say" No. I disagree. I think you are wrong, "if you don’t agree with others.
【小题3】When someone says "I have to go now "On the phone,it means he wants to go on talking.
【小题4】"Someone is at the door." may be an excuse for finishing a talk.
【小题5】Sometimes people don't say exactly what they are thinking about just because they try to be nice to each other.

Betty is not a traditional American beauty. She is unfashionable, has thick red glasses, untidy hair and large metal braces (牙套) on her teeth. But this hasn’t stopped her from becoming one of American’s favorite TV characters. So how did she manage to do it?

The answer is that charm can be more attractive than beauty. Betty is the main character in a TV show Ugly Betty. The show is about her life as an office worker at a fashion magazine in New York.

  The TV show has just started. Betty has many exciting experiences and romantic stories. Betty is often looked down on and laughed at by the people around. But she manages to do better than others with her hard work, charm and wisdom. The show tells us about how a girl goes from an ugly young duck into a beautiful swan.

  Though you may know the ending of the show from the beginning and the story is familiar to many of us, it has still been a big success in the USA. It has attracted a large number of viewers and won two Golden Globes awards, one of the highest honors for a television program in the USA.“ I think you can see a bit of Betty in all of us, and I mean men as well, because it’s about the underdog (弱者)”,says Ashley Jensen, who plays one of the characters on the show.

  The program is so successful because of the good performance of the 23-year-old actress America Ferrera who plays the role of Betty. She brings the character alive on the screen.

What is the sky? Where is it? How bright is it? What lies above it? These questions are difficult to answer, aren’t they?

  Is the sky blue? The sky has no color. We know that there is air around the world. When planes fly, they need air to lift their wings. Planes can’t fly very high because the air gets thinner when they go up higher. If we go up about 1,200 kilometers from the earth, we’ll find no air there.

  When we talk about the sky, we usually mean the atmosphere around the earth. It is like a very thick “cover” over the earth and keeps it warm. Without the “cover”, the earth would be a very cold place and nothing could live on it.

  Looking up above us, you will see the blue sky with white clouds. It is usually light blue, but the sky would be dark blue if you go to the top of the highest mountains. And you will see fewer clouds between you and the sun.

  And if you sit in a spaceship high above the earth, there is no air at all. The sky would be so dark that its color would be black.

  Sometimes the sky doesn’t look blue. When the sun rises and falls, you will see red, orange, and other colors in the sky. These are the most beautiful moments of the day.

  Now you may understand that we see colors because the air scatters (散射) the sunlight. Light travels through the air. Without air, there would be no light and no colors.

1.Planes can’t fly very high because ____________.

A.there is air around the world

B.the air gets thinner when they go up higher

C.it’s warmer in the sky

D.the air gets thicker when they go up higher

2.We can see colors of the sky because ____________.

A.the sun rises and falls every day

B.the sky has lots of colors

C.the air scatters the sunlight

D.the sunlight has many colors

3.Which of the following is TRUE?

A.There is little air without light and colors in the sky.

B.The sky will look red, orange and other colors at noon.

C.The sky has only one color when the sun rises and falls.

D.The sky is dark blue if you go to the top of the highest mountains.
