21、   Hobbies are very important to a person. Without having any hobby, life won't be as colorful as it should be.

I have a number of hobbies, such as collecting stamps, playing musical instruments (乐器), reading, and doing sport activities. When I am free, I will spend time on my hobbies. When I am in a blue mood (情绪低落), I will also do my hobbies to cheer myself up.

Hobbies can help us improve our moods. Many hobbies require you to put your heart in them. For example, when you play a musical instrument, you have to practice over and over in order to perform good music. After a period if you still enjoy it, gradually it will become a hobby of yours. But remember, a hobby is like gold under the ground; no hobby will come to you unless you dig it out yourself. If you can treat study as one of your hobbies, learning will be more enjoyable. I hope all of you can find your own hobbies and also have fun from them.

22、【语篇来自二十一世纪学生英文报·试题原创】

Our polite, little phrases

Many of us share these kinds of verbal habits: pausing at certain moments, filling in sentences with extra words or qualifying statements to make them sound more honest.

For example, have you ever been told by your friend: “I am only telling you this because I care about you—you really need to lose weight”? Or, by your classmate: “No offense, but to be perfectly honest, you’ve done a terrible job”?

These speech acts are called “verbal tee-ups”, according to a recent Wall Street Journal article. They are like cushions meant to soften bad or unpleasant news. Other verbal tee-ups include: “Don’t take this the wrong way, but…”, or “Don’t get mad, but…”.

For speakers, verbal tee-ups make it easier to say difficult things. They sound formal and polite. But aren’t they dishonest?

According to James W. Pennebaker, Psychology Department chair at the University of Texas at Austin, US, these phrases “are to formalize social relations so you don’t have to reveal your true self”, he told The Wall Street Journal.

However, Anne Curzan, professor of English at the University of Michigan, US, says that verbal tee-ups are a bit like traffic signals. “If we know that we’re about to say something potentially damaging, it can be nice to give the listener a moment to prepare for the message,” she wrote in the article Verbal Tee-ups: A More Positive Spin, published in The Chronicle of Higher Education.

Curzan gives an example. Suppose she needs an extension from an editor because she can’t get her article done on time. She might start her request with “I’m sorry to have to ask…”, or “I understand if this isn’t possible…”.

She could just say: “I need an extension”. But that doesn’t “feel very polite”, Curzan noted. Instead, it’s “sudden” and doesn’t “give the editor any choice”.

【1】What’s the purpose of pausing at certain moments and fill in sentences with extra words?

【2】What’s the function of “verbal tee-ups”?

【3】According to Anne Curzan, if we’re about to say something potentially damaging, it’s better to ________.

A．give a pause

B．use “verbal tee-ups”

C．say it directly

D．say sorry

【4】If we don’t use “verbal tee-ups”, it means________.

A．we are honest
