题目内容
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A,B,C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
The most important messages that humans deliver to one another often come in just three words. Think of“I love you”, or“There is no charge”. One of the phrases that I've found most useful is this: I'll be there.“I'll be there”, if you've ever had to call a plumber(水管工人)over a weekend, you know how good these words can feel. If you've heard them after a car trouble on the road, and used your last coin to call a friend, you have the feeling, too.“Grandma, I'm graduating in June”.“I'll be there”.“Honey, I'm stuck at the office and can't get to the airport to meet my sister”.“I'll be there”.“Mum, the baby cries all night, and if I don't get some sleep, I'll be tired out”.“I'll be there”. One person who really knows how to be there is Elizabeth, the Queen mother of England. During the sir attack on London in 1940, she was asked whether the little princesses Elizabeth and Margaret Rose would leave England for their safety. The Queen replied,“The children will not leave unless I do. I shall not leave unless their father does, and the king will not leave the country in any situation whenever I'll be there”. Another important three-word phrase is one of the hardest to learn to say.“I know it was for me, it is, maybe you're right.”If more people would say“Maybe you're right”, the marriage councilors would go out of business. I know from experience, it can have a disarming effect in an argument.
