B 【解析】句意:——美国NBA的外籍球员数量增加了。——是的。现在有很多外国球员在NBA打球。The number of意思是“……的数量”,后跟可数名词复数作主语时视作单数,谓语动词或助动词用三单形式,第一句是现在完成时态,助动词要用has,排除C,D;A number of表示许多,后跟可数名词的复数形式,作主语时视作复数,第二句是现在进行时态,故助动词用are,答案为B。Playing with friends, going to a party, having a meal in a restaurant or receiving a birthday gift—as a teenager, you go to different places and meet different kinds of people. Everything you do leaves an impression (印象). So manners are very important.
Arriving 30 minutes late for a date may say: “This isn’t that important to me.” Taking a cell phone call while talking to your friend may say: “The caller is more important than the person standing in front of me.” Failing to show thanks to a gift-giver may say: “I don’t like the gift.”
Is that the message you really want to send? Maybe not. You do not want to be rude, but sometimes what you do makes people think you’re impolite.
How can you change that? First, you should know the proper ways to behave around people. We call this manners. You could start by adding “please” and “thank you” to your vocabulary and avoiding bad language. You could start by holding a door open for someone after you to go through. You could start by showing up on time instead of letting others wait for you.
Start now! Start a new life and start to be a teenager with good manners!
