“Have a nice day. Next!” The version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words came out in the same tone ( 腔调 ) with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business.
The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don’t know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? I’m terribly sorry, but have a nice day”.
The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.
Although the use of the expression is insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it’s nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don’t care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.

| D．Have a Nice Day—a Polite Ending of a Conversation |
答案
小题1:B
小题2:D
小题3:C
小题4:A
解析
试题分析：本文就平时常说的Have a Nice Day的含义进行探讨，第一题问朋友，第二题问超市服务员，第三题问陌生人，说明不同的人说have a nice day有不同的含义。
小题1:细节题：第一段的这句话：When my friend Maxie says "Have a nice day" with a smile， I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. 这句话既包含了关键词Maxie，也包含她说的话以及作者自己的理解，通过这句话可知，作者从Maxie的一句简单寒暄中读出的是Maxie真诚的关心（sincerely cares），传达的是积极的意义。故B为正确答案。
小题2:句意理解题：从第二段的句子：The words came out in the same tone ( 腔调 ) with a fixed procedure.说明女营业员这么说只是固定程序，没有特定含义。选D。
小题3:推理题，从最后一段的句子：Although the use of the expression is insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting.说明人们说Have a Nice Day，只是一种习惯。选C。
小题4:主旨题。本文讨论的是have a nice day在不同人群口中的具体功能。现在一一分析选项。B项把have a nice day定义为pleasant gesture。文章开头第一句虽然提到了这一点，但同时也提到这句问候语还可能是a meaningless expression。而C、D两项也分别只指出了这句问候语的其中一种功能，因此都属于以偏概全。从广义上看来，B、C、D三项都是A项的子选项，因此，social custom是最具有概括性的一个标题。故选A。
点评：这篇文章考查较全面：细节，推理，句意和主旨都考查了，特别是主旨题要注意最适合做文章题目的选项应该是最能概括文章主旨大意的选项，不能以偏概全。考生头脑中要对文章有了大概的印象：

One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished, gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, he said,“You don’t say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an appropriate topic. “Well, I’d better change the topic.” So I said to him, “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was magnificent.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide.” “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted again by his words. “You don’t say!” I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didn’t request you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didn’t you say ‘You don’t say’?” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “‘You don’t say’ actually means ‘really’. It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.”
Only then did I know I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: what the English teachers said is always right to us students.

| B．the Englishman became a real fool |
| C．I felt very silly |
| D．I became more careful in everything |

| B．The Englishman wanted to see the Great Wall after I talked about it. |

Strange things happen to time when you travel. Because the earth is divided into twenty-four zones one hour apart（相差）.You can have days with more or fewer than twenty-four hours, and weeks more or fewer than seven days.
If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic Ocean(大西洋)，your ship enters a different time zone every day. As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Travelling west ,you set your clock back; traveling east , you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five or twenty-three hours.
If you travel by ship across the Pacific（太平洋）, you cross the international date line. By agreement, this is the point where a new day begins, when you cross the line, you change your calendar one full time day, backward or forward. Travelling east, today becomes yesterday; traveling west, it is tomorrow.

“HAPPY—DEMIC” was the first World Laughter Day gathering outside India. It took place on 9th January, two years after the Mumbai gathering. In Copenhagen, Denmark, more than 10,000 people gathered at Town Hall Square. The event went into Guinness Book of World Records. “World Laughter Day” is now organized on the first Sunday of May every year. Hundreds of people gather worldwide on that day to laugh together.
Today, many people fear widespread international terrorism. The world has never faced so much unrest before. People are at war within themselves. Laughter is a universal language, which has the ability to unite humanity without religion. Laughter can build a common connection between various religions and create a new world order. The idea may sound over -ambitious(野心太大的), and maybe it is. But maybe it is not. It is our deep belief that laughter and only laughter can unite the world, building up a global sense of brotherhood and friendship.
Studies also say that laughter helps your body do the following: lower blood pressure; lighten depression; reduce stress; work out the heart, especially for those who are unable to perform physical exercise. So in life, when you can laugh, you should laugh loudly and with your entire body-because it’s good for you.

Cold can affect other parts of the body, the feet, for example. Heavy socks can you’re your feet, if your feet are really cold. But there is an expression—to get cold feet—that has nothing to do with cold or your feet.
The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do. For example, you agree to be president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned. All the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being the president when you understand the situation.
Cold can also affect your shoulder. You give someone the cold shoulder when you refuse to speak to them. You treat them in a distant and cold way. The expression probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face-to-face. You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you, or to someone who has lied about you to others.
A cold fish is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone.
Out in the cold is an expression often heard. It means not getting something that everybody else got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise, and that he was left out in the cold. And it is not a pleasant place to be.
小题1:The passage is intended to tell us that ______ .
| A．cold weather has a great effect on human bodies |
| B．many English expressions contain the word “cold” |
| C．cold is a word closely linked with human emotions |
| D．the word “cold” has many different meanings in English |
| A．impolite | B．illegal | C．cruel | D．extreme |
| A．Cold-blooded. | B．To get cold feet. | C．A cold shoulder. | D．A cold fish. |
| A．is given the cold shoulder |
| B．is left out in the cold |
| C．has got cold feet |
| D．is murdered by a cold-blooded killer |
| A．all the expressions containing the word “cold” have a negative meaning |
| B．all the expressions containing the word “cold” have something to do with cold |
| C．people who show no human emotions or feelings have cold blood |
| D．many parts of the human body can be badly affected by cold |
