八年级英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

It’s nice to be invited to birthday parties, but sometimes you have to say no. How do you politely (礼貌地) refuse an invitation?

◆Send it in.

If you get a written (书面的) or e-mail invitation to a party, refusing politely is easy. All you have to do is to give a polite answer.

◆Ask for time to think.

Refusing a face-to-face invitation can be difficult. The polite way is to ask for time to check your calendar. Then, you have time to find a polite answer. Just make sure that if you’ve been invited in person (当面), you’d better refuse it in person. It’s polite.

◆Be thankful.

Even if you have to refuse the invitation, thank him or her for the invitation all the same. If your only reason is a conflicting(相互冲突的) event, tell the host that you will come if the dates are different.

◆Be honest(诚实的).

This may be the most important thing in politely refusing an invitation. You wouldn’t want people to lie(说谎) to you, so it’s correct etiquette(礼节) to give an honest reason. Just say it in a polite way.

根据短文内容，判断下列句子正误。正确的用“A”表示，不正确的用“B”表示。

1.The writer gives us five pieces of advice.

2.We can refuse a face-to-face invitation by asking for time to check our calendar.

3.If an invitation conflicts with another event, you can tell the host that you will come if the dates are different.

4.To be thankful is the most important to refuse an invitation.

5.The main idea of the passage is how to turn down an invitation.

Have you ever crossed the road to avoid talking to someone you meet? Would love to go to a party and talk confidently（自信地） to every guest? And are you nervous about the idea of being at a new environment in another country? Don’t worry—we can help you!

You needn’t worry if you have good communication skills. And they are easy to learn. Here are a few ideas to help you.

◆ Learn how to do small talk

Small talk is very important and prepares for more serious conversations. Be prepared! Have some conversation openers ready. For example：

 Think of a news story—not too serious, e. g. a story about a film or a sports star.

 Think of “safe” things you can ask people their ideas about music, sports, films, etc.

 Think of topics（话题）that you would avoid if you were talking to strangers—and avoid talking about them! That way, you don’t lose your confidence!

 Train your listening skills

Listening is a skill which most people don’t have, but communication is a two-way process—speaking and listening. Always remember—it is not polite if you talk too much. Here are some ideas to make you a better listener:

Do …

 show that you are listening by using encouraging noises or something like smiling, nodding, saying “uh—huh” and “OK”, etc.

 keep good eye contact（接触）

 ask for more information to show your interest

Don’t…

 look at your watch or mobile phone

 look away from the person who is talking to you

 change the subject

 finish other people’s sentences for them

Always remember: Talk to a man about himself and he will speak to you for hours!

◆ Learn the rules

If you go to a new environment in another country, remember that rules can be different. In some countries, for example, you have to arrive on time at a party; in other countries, you don’t need to. In most places, you don’t have to take a gift to a party—but find out first!

1.To learn to do small talk, we may start a conversation by ________.

A. looking at the mobile phone

B. talking about music, sports or films

C. taking some gifts to the person you meet

A. remember the rules are different

B. think of a news story about a sports star

C. smile from time to time to show our interest

D. look away from the person who is talking to us

3.What does the underlined（下划线的）sentence tell you about people?

A. Men like to be good listeners.

B. Men like to show off through stories.

C. People will speak if they know each other very well.

D. People are more interested in topics about themselves.

4.Where might you read a passage like this?

A. In a newspaper about how to make people happy.

B. In a book which helps you prepare for an opening talk.
