When I got back home I saw a message pinned to the door ____’’Sorry to miss you; will call later.’’
A. reading B. reads C. to read D. read
A
【解析】
试题分析:考查分词做定语用法。当动词与所修饰的名称构成主动关系的时候,使用现在分词的形式做定语;如果二者构成被动关系,就使用过去分词的形式做定语。本题的message与动词read之间构成主动关系,故使用现在分词的形式做定语修饰名词。句意:当我回到家,我看到一个信息被钉在门上,上面写着“对不起,晚些时候我再过来”。本题中的reading ’’Sorry to miss you; will call later.’’=which read ’’Sorry to miss you; will call later.’’故A正确。

There is one word that is on the lips of Americans , day and night , “Sorry”.
One time as I was walking on the street , a young man ran by hurriedly , brushing against my handbag . Even as he continued on his way , he turned back and said “sorry” to me . Even in a rush , he didn’t forget to apologize .
One day , after I bought some apples , the salesman was giving me the change , but I wasn’t ready for it , and a coin dropped on the ground, “I’m sorry ,” he said while bending down to pick it up . I was puzzled —why would he apologize when it was my fault ?
Another time , I stepped on a man’s foot in an escalator . At the same time , we both said “sorry” . I thought it interesting : was it really necessary for him apologize ?
Later on , an American friend explained to me that according to the American ideas, the escalator is public place which everyone should be able to stand in . After someone occupies a position in the escalator , making it difficult for someone else to find a place to stand in , isn’t it necessary to express an apology ?
During my stay in America , I gradually realized that when friction (摩擦) occurs in daily life , Americans don’t care much about who is responsible . If someone is troubled , a “sorry” is always necessary . Even if the other person is hurt , the “sorry” would cool tempers . Perhaps this is why I never saw anyone quarreling on the buses , subways or streets in America .
