Do you remember a time when people were a little nicer and gentler with each other? I certainly do. And I feel that much of the world has somehow gotten away from that. Too often I see people rushing into elevators without giving those inside a chance to get off first, or never saying "thank you" when others hold a door open for them. We get lazy and in our laziness we think that something like a simple "thank you" doesn’t really matter. But it can matter very much. The fact is that no matter how nicely we dress or how beautifully we decorate our homes, we can’t be truly elegant without good manners, because elegance and good manners always go hand in hand. In fact, I think of good manners as a sort of hidden beauty secret. Haven’t you noticed that the kindest most generous people seem to keep getting prettier? It’s funny how that happens, but it does. Take the long-lost art of saying "thank you" like wearing a little make-up, or making sure your hair is neat. Getting into the habit of saying "thank you" can make you feel better about yourself.
Good manners add to your image, while an angry face makes the best-dressed person look ugly.
16. What is the passage mainly about?
17. What does the speaker say about people of the past?
18. According to the speaker, how can we best improve our image?
选项
A、The art of saying thank you.
B、The secret of staying pretty.
C、The importance of good manners.
D、The difference between elegance and good manners.
答案
C
解析
主旨题。关键是要听到首尾句及核心词。第1句中作者对于“人与人之间曾经更友好、更和气的时代”的怀念和最后一句中“礼貌能提升你的形象”,都说明good manners的重要性,所以答案为C。作者建议养成说“谢谢”的习惯,而不是在讲述说“谢谢”的艺术,故A不正确;作者说“我把讲礼貌看成一种深藏不露的美丽秘诀”,并不是告诉我们保持美丽的秘密,故B不正确;文中说“优雅与礼貌是一致的”,故D不正确。
