I said,4 he would tell me to cancel it. 5 , when he began unpacking ropes, I knew he was6 . I had to put on my climbing shoes and adjust my pack though I felt quite7 to take up the challenge.

    Michael moved fast. When the rope was almost out, he8 himself and yelled at me, "Come on. Climb!"9 , step by step, I made my way straight up. About 300 feet off the ground, I looked down.

    "Hi, how are ya," 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 well—being. 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 since yesterday.

    It's what anthropologist Bronislaw Malinoski called a phatic communication. Its message is not in the words you use, but in the fact that you speak ritually 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 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. 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 necessary to get to work each day. 

    1. (1) When people greet, they ____. 
      A . want to show their different educational backgrounds B . rarely show something related to the words themselves C . want to know other people's privacy D . often complain about the bad weather
    2. (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
    3. (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. (4) The underlined word "outcast" in the last paragraph probably means ____.
      A . a person who is well-educated B . a person who succeeds suddenly C . a person who is a burden to society D . a person who is not accepted by others
    5. (5) What does the text mainly tell us?
      A . Greetings should be better expressed. 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.

    A ninth—grade Aledo track standout who was the victim of an unusual accident with a deer has returned to the varsity team (校队) and says his story offers a lesson for everyone: "Never stop trying. "

    Jack Fink, 14, has always loved to run. "I've been running long distance since I was in third grade," Fink said. "It's the wind in my face. Just going as fast as possible. "

    One morning last month, Fink was running along a golf course not far from school — practicing with his team — when something faster than him hit him hard from behind. "I saw the sky and then I saw the ground and then my ears started ringing," he said. Some teammates saw what happened and helped him up.

    "They told me a couple of minutes after, ‘Jack, you got hit by a deer!' And I was like, ‘What? There's no way,'" he said Monday. He never even saw the deer, he said.

    Fink was OK at first but as the hours went on his head started hurting. Fink then went to Cook Children's hospital. "They took me straight back to surgery and they told my mom and dad, ‘Hey, he may not make it,'" he said. X—rays found a skull fracture (颅骨骨折) and bleeding in his brain. He needed six screws (螺钉) to relieve the pressure, screws that will stay inside his head for the rest of his life.

    He spent a few weeks at home recovering but wanted to run again. Not sure if he was up to it, his coaches put him on the junior varsity team at first. 

    "It's the craziest and the scariest thing I've had to deal with in my coaching career," track coach Mike Pinkerton said of the incident. "He said, ‘Coach, I'm getting my spot back!'" Pinkerton said. At the junior varsity meet, Fink came in first. He then got his varsity spot back. "I felt like, ‘OK I can do this again. I'm back. I'm ready to run again,'" Fink said.

    At a regional meet Monday in Lubbock, Fink was the fastest ninth—grader in the entire area. The state competition is in Round Rock next month, and Fink will be there with his team. "There's no excuse. You have to go through life and try your hardest with everything," he said. "Never stop trying and just run. "

    1. (1) When did the accident happen?
      A . When Fink was in third grade. B . While Fink was playing golf at the course. C . Before Fink saw the sky. D . While Fink was training.
    2. (2) After hearing he was hit by a deer, Fink felt ____. 
      A . amused B . astonished C . annoyed D . disappointed
    3. (3) What could be inferred from Para. 5?
      A . The accident did him no harm. B . He had to replace screws for life. C . He was taken to the hospital immediately after the accident. D . He had an operation on his head.
    4. (4) Why did the coach send Fink to the junior varsity team first?
      A . Because Fink was still weak after his recovery. B . Because the coach doubted about his fitness for the race. C . Because the coach was mad with Fink's decision. D . Because Fink had to pass the junior varsity meet first.
    5. (5) Which of the following is the passage probably taken from?
      A . A novel. B . A newspaper. C . A brochure. D . A diary.

    I was engaged in my daily job search, and an ad seemed to appear suddenly. It was about a job that was within walking distance of my home, and I found I met all its requirements. I thought it was just perfect for me. 

    "I want that job," I whispered to myself, and then tried to gather some confidence. "That job has my name on it. "

    Anyone who has been out of work for a period knows how badly job loss can affect one's self—esteem. One moment, I was an important person in the company; the next moment, thanks to internal restructuring (内部改革), I was deemed surplus. It was quite a shock. I began to question my ability and myself.

    But now, for this perfect job, I pulled up my resume and composed what I hoped was a perfect application. As I pushed "Send", I closed my eyes and told myself with every ounce of certainty I had, "I've got this job. " Luckily, I received an e—mail inviting me to an interview. I was delighted!

    "I know this is my job," I spoke the words to my reflection in the mirror on the day of my interview. I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel a bit nervous, but I knew that I was going to put my best foot forward and make a great impression.

    It was a beautiful summer day, and the sunshine seemed to energize me. I was led into a conference room where the department managers greeted me. They had my resume in front of them and took notes as I answered their questions. What I had seen in the office appealed to me, and I could already picture myself sitting at my desk. A sense of belonging filled me. 

    By the end of the week, the desired call arrived, and my dream became a reality. I accepted the job, and my heart jumped for joy. 

    1. (1) How did the author respond to the employment ad? (no more than 5 words)
    2. (2) How can we understand the underlined part in Paragraph 3? (no more than 8 words)
    3. (3) What did the author do on the beautiful summer day? (no more than 5 words)
    4. (4) What happened to the author by the end of the week? (no more than 10 words)
    5. (5) What do you think of the author's job hunting? Please explain why. (no more than 20 words)
