题目内容

A minister was on a long flight from China to London. The first warning of the approaching problems came when the sign on the airplane flashed on: Fasten your seat belts. Then, after a while, a calm voice said, "We shall not be serving the drinks at this time as there is going to be something unexpected. Please be sure seat belt is fastened."

Soon the storm broke out. One moment the airplane was lifted on terrific currents of air. The plane dropped as if it were about to crash.

The minister believed that he shared the discomfort and fear of those around him. As he looked around the plane, he could see that nearly all the passengers were upset and alarmed. The future seemed ominous and many were wondering if they would make it through the storm. Then he suddenly saw a little girl. Apparently the storm meant nothing to her. She was reading a book and everything within her small world was calm orderly. Sometimes she closed her eyes and then she would read again. Then she would straighten her legs, worry and fear were not in her world. The minister could hardly believe his eyes.

It was not surprising therefore that when the plane finally reached its destination and all the passengers hurried to leave, the minister walked up to the girl he had watched for such a long time. Having commented about the storm and the behavior of the plane, he asked why she had not been afraid. The girl replied, "Because my dad is the pilot, and he's taking me home."

17．"Have a nice day!"may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless．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!"This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door．The words come 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 may have 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 an 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 all 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．
