Asking for information or help is a very common and necessary activity, especially when we visit a foreign country. So knowing how to ask for information politely is important. In English, "Where are the restrooms?" and "Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?" are similar requests—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?" in some situations, perhaps with 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 language, such as "Could you please...?" or "Can I ask...?" It sounds more polite to say, "Peter, could you please lend me your pen?" Sometimes we might even need to spend some time leading in to a question or request. For example, 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 them for help.

It might seem that speaking politely is more difficult than being direct, and in a way this may be true. However, in order not to offend people, learning about the language etiquette is just as important as learning grammar or vocabulary. And doing this will also help you become better at English, or any other language you wish to speak.

阅读文章，把方框中代表句子的字母A、B、C、D、E填到文章中划线部分的相应位置上。

A. If the new species (物种) is too strong or uses too much of the resources (资源) in the habitat. B. We often talk about how important it is to take good care of ourselves and our planet C. When farmers cut down trees, tigers can no longer hide and hunt D. Steve says that we can help by creating more space for animals and plants E. A species can become endangered for different reasons                                                           Are we endangered?      Steve Jones is an environmental expert who tries to keep animals and plants from becoming endangered. "We are not alone in the world. We human beings could not survive (生存) without all the plants and animals around us. 1           , but we don't always do as we say," Steve says as he takes us on a tour of Green Park in Birmingham. Many of the earth's plants and animals have already died out, and several other species are endangered. If we want to live a better life and have a bright future, we must learn to act in ways that do not harm other living things.      If we know more about what causes endangerment, we may be able to take measures (采取措施) before it is too late. 2           . Animals and plants must have a habitat, or home, which is comfortable and clean, and where there is enough food and other resources. They are all used to their environment; that is, they have learnt how to live successfully in their habitat. When the habitat of a species is changed or destroyed, the animal or plant had to either adapt to the change or find a new home. If this is not possible, the species becomes endangered. If a new species arrives, the animals and plants of the habitats must change again. 3          , some of the original (原始的) species may become endangered. A species may also die out if humans or other animals use too much of a plant or kill too many animals.      The good news is that there is a lot we can do to help. First of all, we need to learn more about animals, plants and the environment. Experts tell us that we need to think about what we can do to keep animals and plants from becoming endangered. 4           :"You can plant a tree or build a birdhouse. It is simple but useful." Steve also wants us to think about what we do: "Please don't pollute the environment." If we find out more about what we should do, we can help Steve and others like him keep. animals and plants and ourselves from becoming endangered.

    Have you ever posted your photos on the Internet? Would you mind if people cut part of your photo, perhaps your face, and paste（粘贴）it into other photos as a joke? Most people would not like to be made fun of in this way. However, it is not uncommon for people to find such pictures of themselves on the Internet.

We are living in an age of information explosion. People work, play and communicate with others over the Internet. However, we must always bear in mind that some people may use others personal information for unpleasant purposes. A good example of this is what happened to a 25-year-old man. He received an e-mail that appeared to be from his bank, asking for his bank details. However, after he sent his account(账户) number to the sender, he found that money was  stolen out of his bank by online criminals.

This story warns us and reminds us never to tell strangers information such as our real names, parents names, telephone numbers or home addresses. Remember to remove any private information, like your photos, after using another person's computers. Also remember not to give out unnecessary but important information when filling in online forms. We need to learn to keep our private information safe. This is the key to protecting ourselves in a world where the Internet is becoming more and more important.

        A. Never give any information to anyone online.

        B. Only give some necessary but real information to the strangers online.

        C. Only give some unnecessary and unimportant information when filling in a form.

        D. Never give your personal information to strangers online.

51. How did the 25-year-old man lose his money?

        A. The bank lost his details and account number.

        B. The money was stolen from the bank.

        C. He gave his personal information to online criminals.

        D. It was stolen from him as he returned from the bank.

52. According to the passage, which of the following is not correct?

        A. People do not want their pictures to be cut and pasted into others just for fun.

        B. We are living in a world of information.

        C. We should learn how to communicate with others on the Internet in a safe way.
