Requests That Get Results

  There are many different ways of making requests. For example, if someone wants to borrow a dollar, he or she can say: “Could you lend me a dollar?” “Do you have a dollar?” “You don't have a dollar, do you?”

  How does a person know which request to use? Language researchers have suggested that speakers must make several important decisions. First, they must consider the other person's feelings because requests can sometimes cause embarrassment(窘迫) to both the speaker and the listener. If the speaker thinks the listener will accept the request, he or she will probably use a less formal request; however, if the speaker thinks the listener may decline(拒绝) the request, he or she will probably use a fairly formal request. The listener then has to make a choice either to accept or refuse the request. If he or she refuses, then both the speaker and listener might be embarrassed.

  In addition, speakers must decide how well they know the person they are requesting something from and choose a suitable question. If the speaker knows the listener well, one of several types of requests can be used. For example:

  1.Make a statement with need: “I need a dollar.”

  2.Use an imperative: “Please lend me a dollar.”

  3.Use a question: “Do you have a dollar?”

  If the speaker doesn't know the listener well, one of several types of requests can be used instead.For example:

  4.Ask about ability: “Could / Can you lend me a dollar?”

  5.Use may: “May I borrow a dollar?”

  6.Ask for permission: “Would it OK if I borrowed a dollar?”

  7.Express curiosity: “I wonder if I could borrow a dollar?”

  8.State the request negatively: “I don't suppose you could lend me a dollar?”

  9.Apologize: “I hope you don't mind my asking you for a dollar?”

  10.Give a hint: “I wish I had a dollar.”

  Knowing how to make requests means knowing different types of requests as well as when each type of request is appropriate.

根据短文内容判断下面各句,分别在Less formal或More formal下打“√”,在Type下写出该句所属文中列举的10种类型之一的标号,如“1,2,3,……”。

This is a story that happened in a school campus. One day, after school was over, Peter was taking a walk in the school campus, singing very happily. When he passed by a water tap(水龙头), he found that water was still running.Someone forgot to turn it off although it was the easiest thing for him to turn it off, and he should have done so,he seemed not to have noticed it and went on walking as if nothing was happening there.   
Just then, Mary was passing by and noticed that. Who left the water running after using it? she thought to herself. She rushed to the tap and turned it off as quickly as possible.When Mary was doing that, Peter was right there, standing beside her with a cold look. Mary turned to him and scolded him for not having turned off the tap. “It is none of my business!”Peter said coldly, Besides, it was not I who had turned it on.”Hearing this, Mary was very disappointed and she was at a great loss.

阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

Mountain climbers around the world dream about going up Qomolangma, the highest mountain in the world. But many people who have climbed the mountain have left waste material that is harming the environment.

A team of Americans is planning the largest clean-up effort ever on Qomolangma. They will make the risky trip up the mountain next month.

The team of eight Americans will be guided by more than twenty Sherpas of Nepal(尼泊尔夏尔巴人). Their goal is to remove all the rubbish they see. They will spend two months cleaning up the mountain by gathering oxygen bottles, fuel containers, batteries, drink cans, human waste and all kinds of disposable products(一次性产品). They are expected to remove at least three tons of rubbish in large bags.

Team leader Robert Hoffman is making his fourth trip up the mountain. He says he hopes to bring Qomolangma to the condition it was in before the first successful climb fifty years ago. He says he hopes the effort will influence other people to clean up the environment closer home.

Disposable products on Qomolangma are a major concern. So the clean-up team will take along newly developed equipment to collect and treat disposable products. Over the years, the disposable products have polluted the mountain. In the warm season when the ice melts, the polluted water flows to Nepali villages below. The problem has gotten worse in recent years because climbing Qomolangma has become more popular.
