“Hi,howareya.” some people say when they see a familiar face.The words run together into a mass,all sense and meaning lost. All the same,people do care how you are.After they greet you,it’s likely you will greet them back,with an equally meaningless phrase like,“Can’t complain,can’t complain.”You could probably complain,at length,or share a brilliant thought you were just beginning when a greeting interrupted you.You don’t though,you say,“Great,you?”
You are not giving each other information about your health and wellbeing.All the same,you are sharing information.You’re acknowledging each other’s positions as acknowledged friends,or at least as accepted acquaintances.And you are reestablishing the ties that may have lapsed(衰退) since yesterday,when you last met at the elevator or the entrance to the train station.
It’s what anthropologist(人类学家) Bronislaw Malinoski called a phatic(交流感情的) communication.Its message is not in the words you use,but in the fact that you speak ritually(仪式上地) accepted words.In Asia,for example,people may ask one another if they have eaten,or if they are busy.They’re not really asking for their lunch menu or their agenda,they are saying hello.A phatic signal merely says, “I see you there.” It says hi.
There’s embarrassment of being near people without acknowledging them.That uncomfortable feeling is one reason why lonely passengers in the subway may behave as if they cannot see anyone around them or may escape their uncomfortable situation with a book.Some people read all the way home,and never turn a page.
Your friend isn’t asking how you are,and you aren’t telling him.However,he is recognizing your existence,and when you answer,you are recognizing his.In addition,the set speech you have shared opens the door to closer communications if both agree.Someday,you may come to real close friendship,and really tell one another how you are.
Meanwhile,people who greet one another this way do care.They care enough to recognize someone’s essential humanity(人性).They send a signal across the space between,to share,very briefly and lightly,in awareness of one another.
Your greetings prove that neither of you has become a social outcast.How are you?You are still a member of society in good status.You are still the one who knows the rituals and secret passwords necessary to get to work each day.
1.When people greet,they ________.
A.want to show their different educational backgrounds
B.show nothing related with the words themselves
C.want to know other people’s privacy
D.express something special
2. According to Bronislaw Malinoski,a phatic communication ________.
A.is rarely used by Asian people
B.is too complex to be used often
C.helps establish or keep certain relationships
D.often ruins the normal relationships between friends or acquaintances
3.Some people seldom greet strangers because ________.
A.they want to be polite to others
B.they feel uncomfortable to do it
C.they don’t know when to greet them
D.they want to do something meaningful
4.What does the text mainly tell us?
A.Greetings should be given better expressions.
B.Greetings convey different meanings to different people.
C.Greetings help prove an individual’s social independence.
D.Greetings help an individual be connected with the society.

I was 18 when Tim and I began to date. Shy and quiet, I’d met his parents once before but hadn’t ventured to say more than “ Hello”. This particular evening, however, we were taking them out to dinner for their anniversary and I wanted to make a good impression.
Tim and his parents arrived and I was out the door in a flash. My good impression began with “ punctual”. I sat in the backseat beside Tim nervously watching his father’s eyes glance into the rearview mirror to examine me.
Tim and his parents had already decided on their favorite Mexican restaurant and that was fine with me; the dim lighting would hide the rising flush of my cheeks, and if anyone noticed, I could blame it on the peppers. With proper table manners I managed to survive halfway through dinner without making any unforgivable mistakes. However, in the midst of conversation I reached for my iced tea, raised the glass to my lips and very quickly discovered I had picked up the wrong glass.
I quickly lowered the glass and set it back but it was too late; I had burnt my eyebrows, the hair in my nose, and curl over my forehead! I looked up slowly, praying no one had seen me, but all eyes at the table had seen and each face stared at me in shocked silence. Excusing myself, I ran to the restroom.
I would have hidden there forever but I’d barely gotten in the door when Tim’s mother arrived. “ Ah, honey,” she said, holding out her arms to me. “ Everything will be just fine.”
Tim and I eventually married. We had a small ceremony and a family reception afterwards held at the very restaurant where this incident occurred. This time, however, I didn’t drink any candles… only a Margarita(一种鸡尾酒名); they were served in different glasses.
1.It can be inferred from the passage that___________.
A. the author had never met her parents-in-law before dinning together
B. Tim and the author took the bus to get to the restaurant
C. Tim’s father was curious to know about the author
D. Tim’s mother was not satisfied with the author’s behavior
2.According to the passage, the author______________.
A. felt very sorry for being late meeting Tim’s parents
B. mistook wine for drinks and got drunk
C. had her eyebrows burnt because of her nervousness
D. left a bad impression on Tim’s parents
3.What would be the best title of the passage?
A. Please Don’t Drink the Candles
B. Please Don’t Light the Candles
C. Please Behave Yourself
D. You Can Never Make a First Impression for a Second Time
高三英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析
I start to wonder what else had changed since I’d been gone. My parents are in an awkward transition, wondering how to treat me now. They wrestle with whether to treat me—still their daughter—as one of them, an adult, or as the child they feel they sent away months earlier.
I run into two of my best friends from high school; we stare at each other, expressionless.We ask the simple questions and give simple answers. It’s as if we have nothing to say to each other. I wonder how things have changed so much in such a small amount of time. We used to laugh and promise that no matter how far away we were, our love for each other would never change. Their interests don’t interest me anymore, and I find myself unable to relate my life to theirs.
I had been so excited to come home, but now I just look at it all and wonder: Is it me?
Why hadn’t the world stood still here while I was gone? My room isn’t the same, my friends and I don’t share the same bond, and my parents don’t know how to treat me—or who I am, for that matter.
I get back to school feeling half-fulfilled, but not disappointed. I sit up in my bed in my dorm room, surrounded by my pictures, dolls. As I wonder what has happened, I realize that I can’t expect the world to stand still and move forward at the same time. I can’t change and expect that things at home will stay the same. I have to find comfort in what has changed and what is new; keep the memories, but live in the present.
A few weeks later, I’m packing again, this time for winter break. My mom meets me at the curb. I have come home accepting the changes, not only in my surroundings, but most of all in me.
