17．"Have a nice day!"may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless．When my friend Maxie says"Have a nice day"with a smile，I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me．I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well．
"Have a nice day．Next!"This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door．The words come out in the same tone （腔調(diào)） 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 is at an end．Sometimes the expression saves us when we don't know what to say"oh，you may have 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 an 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 all 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．

26．How does the author understand Maxie's words？B
A．Maxie shows her anxiety to the author．
B．Maxie really wishes the author a good day．
C．Maxie encourages the author to stay happy．
D．Maxie really worries about the author's security．
27．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2mean？D
A．The salesgirl is rude．
B．The salesgril is bored．
C．The salesgirl cares about me．
D．The salesgirl says the words as a routine．
28．By saying"Have a nice day，"a stranger mayA
A．try to be polite to you
B．express respect to you
C．give his blesing to you
D．share his pleasure with you
29．According to the last paragraph，people say"Have a nice day"C
A．sincerely  B．a(chǎn)sthanks  C．a(chǎn)s a habit  D．encouragingly
30．What is the best title of the passage？A
A．Have a Nice Day-a Social Custon
B．Have a Nice Day-a Pleasant Gesture
C．Have a Nice Day-a Heart-warming Greeting
D．Have a Nice Day-a Polite Ending of a Conversation．

A minister was on a long flight from China to London. The first warning of the approaching problems came when the sign on the airplane flashed on: Fasten your seat belts. Then, after a while, a calm voice said, "We shall not be serving the drinks at this time as there is going to be something unexpected. Please be sure seat belt is fastened."

Soon the storm broke out. One moment the airplane was lifted on terrific currents of air. The plane dropped as if it were about to crash.

The minister believed that he shared the discomfort and fear of those around him. As he looked around the plane, he could see that nearly all the passengers were upset and alarmed. The future seemed ominous and many were wondering if they would make it through the storm. Then he suddenly saw a little girl. Apparently the storm meant nothing to her. She was reading a book and everything within her small world was calm orderly. Sometimes she closed her eyes and then she would read again. Then she would straighten her legs, worry and fear were not in her world. The minister could hardly believe his eyes.

It was not surprising therefore that when the plane finally reached its destination and all the passengers hurried to leave, the minister walked up to the girl he had watched for such a long time. Having commented about the storm and the behavior of the plane, he asked why she had not been afraid. The girl replied, "Because my dad is the pilot, and he's taking me home."

Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you know was in trouble——and he was? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later? Maybe you have ESP（超感官知覺）.

ESP stands for Extra Sensory Perception. It may be called a sixth sense. It seems to let people know about events（事件）before they happen, or events that are happening some distance（距離）away.

Here is an example: A woman was doing washing. Suddenly she shouted, “My father is dead! I saw him sitting in the chair!” Just then, a telephone came. The woman’s father had died of a heart illness. He died sitting in a chair.

There are thousands of stories like this on record. Scientists are studying them to find out what is behind these strange mental（心理的）messages. Here’s another example——one of hundreds of dreams that have come true.

A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and carriage came by. The driver said, “There’s room for one more.” The man felt the driver was Death, so he ran away. The next day the man was getting on a crowded bus. The bus driver said, “There’s room for one more”. Then the man saw the driver’s face was the same face he had seen in the dream. He wouldn’t get on the bus. As the bus drove off, it crashed and burst into fires. Everyone was killed!

Some people say stories like these are lies or coincidences. Others say that are ESP in true, From studies of ESP, we may some day learn more about the human mind.

1.ESP lets people know about _________.

A. their dreams

B. events after they happen

C. events before they happen

D. heart illness

2.In his passage the word “coincidences” means ________.

A. things which do not happen

12．An idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond．The concept is simple：help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same tome．
In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit （追求） to be enjoyed by all，the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus，as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools．The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched （發(fā)起）the"If All of Seattle Read the Same Book"project in 1998．Her original program used author visits，study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book，but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities，and even to Hong kong．

The only problem arose in New York，where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population．This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns，where a greater sense of unity（一致）can be achieved．Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point，putting all their energy

B．In large cities where libraries are far from home
C．In medium-sized cities with a diverse population
