“Have a nice day” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.

“Have a nice day. Next!” The version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words came out in the same tone ( 腔调 ) with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business.

The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don’t know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? I’m terribly sorry, but have a nice day”

The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.

Although the use of the expression is insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it’s nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don’t care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.

1.How does the author understand Maxie’s words?

A. Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.

B. Maxie really worries about the author’s security

C. Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.

2.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. The salesgirl says the words as a routine.

B. The salesgirl is bored.

C. The salesgirl cares about me.

D. The salesgirl is rude.

3.By saying “Have a nice day”, a stranger may _____.

A. give his blessing to you

B. express respect to you

C. try to be polite to you

D. share his pleasure with you

4.According to the last paragraph, people say “Have a nice day”_______.

A. sincerely B as a habit C. as thanks D. encouragingly

5.What is the best title of the passage?

A. Have a Nice Day—a Polite Ending of a Conversation

B. Have a Nice Day—a Pleasant Gesture

“Soon, you’re going to have to move out!” cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhood.

One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1.25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door.

Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’t be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. bushes must be pruned(剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake.

Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing(施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves.

Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold; First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw(缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June. But they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.

Here I am faced with a painful small decision To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I’ll think about that tomorrow.

1..What are the requirements for the healthy growth of rose?

2..The writer planted the tomato because _________.

A. there was room for it in the garden

C. it cost only $1.25

D. the roses’ branches needed to be covered

3..This year the writer’s roses were __________.

A. removed from the rose bed

B. largely hidden under the tomato plant

C. mostly damaged by too much sunlight

D. picked along with the tomatoes

4..By saying “the prize so dearly won” in paragraph 5, the writer wants to ________.

A. express her liking for the roses

B. show the hardship of growing the roses

C. show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes

D. express her care for the tomatoes

5..In the situation described in the text, one good thing is that ________.

A.the roses cost the writer little money
