【解析】

本文讲述了关于流星和兔子脚能给人们带来好运的故事。在英国和美国,有一些奇怪的传统可以给你自己带来更多的好运。有些已经有几百年的历史了,有些则更新了很多。如果你仰望天空,能看到流星,你是很幸运的,如果你许愿,它就会实现。有些人认为兔子是幸运动物,所以他们带着兔子的一个器官-----它的脚,以求好运。关于兔子的脚中哪一只最幸运,有各种奇怪的,不清楚的规则。然而,正如一句有趣的谚语所说:“如果你愿意,就依靠兔子的脚,但要记住,这对兔子不起作用!”

1句意:在英国和美国,有一些奇怪的传统给你带来更多的好运。考查细节理解。根据第一段最后一句But if you think you need lots of luck, what else might you do?(但是如果你认为你需要许多运气,你可以做其他的什么吗?)结合英文提示可知此句要表达的句意是“在英国和美国,有一些奇怪的传统给你带来更多的好运。故答案是luck。

2句意:有些是几百年前的,有些则是更新的。考查细节理解和形容词比较级。根据前文“有些是几百年前的”可知“有些则是更新的”,much/even可修饰形容词比较级,意思是更…,…多多了;故答案是much/even。

3句意:如果你在晴朗的夜晚仰望天空,你看到一道突然的闪光,它可能是一颗流星!考查语境理解。根据上文“你在晴朗的夜晚仰望天空”结合下文“看见流星这件事并不会经常发生。”可知是你看到一道突然的闪光,可知填“看见”,and前时态是现在进行时,结合句意可知and后可以使用一般现在时,故答案是see。

4句意:俗话说,如果你看到流星你已经很幸运。考查细节理解。根据文中that可知下文是that引导的宾语从句。根据句意可知此句是if引导的条件状语从句;故答案if。

5句意:所以如果你许下一个愿望,它就会成真。考查动词短语。come true:实现;结合句意可和答案是true。

6句意:也许你听说过幸运兔的脚。考查动词短语。短语hear of/about:听说;结合句意可知答案是of/about。

7句意:有些人认为兔子是幸运的动物,所以他们为了好运携带兔子的一部分------它们的脚本句是主从复合句,从句是that引导的宾语从句。根据主语rabbits是复数,可知后面名词用复数,我们知道“兔子是动物”,可知答案是animals。

8句意:关于兔子的脚中哪一只最幸运,有各种奇怪的、不清楚的规则。短语all kinds of:各种各样的;结合句意可知答案是kinds。

9句意:据说这个好运气的传统是最古老的传统之一。短语It is said that+句子:据说….;结合句意可知答案是said。

10句意:如果你愿意,那就依靠兔子的脚,但是记住它对兔子来说不起作用!根据句意和语境可知兔子的脚对兔子来说不起作用,兔子的脚是单数,用it指代上文提到的兔子的脚(the rabbit's foot);故答案是it。

Saying no can be very difficult. People who are very shy often have little confidence. It is very hard for them to say no. They would feel shy when they say no, but doing things that they don’t want to do will make them unhappy.

A simple and direct “No” is the best way. If you want to explain, you can keep it simple. Just say, “No, I’ve already made plans for this time” or “No, I’m not free at that time.”

Other indirect but polite ways of saying no:

● Sorry, I can’t do this right now.

● I’m afraid I can’t, but thank you for asking.

● Please accept (接受) that I cannot come.

● I’d rather not.

To say no you should:

● Start the sentence with the word “No”.

Shake (摇晃) your head when you say no to make sure others understand. Your voice should be clear and direct.

Sometimes it is difficult to say no. You can try to reply and explain in the following way:

“Sorry. I would have taken care of your cat next weekend, but I will be going out. I know it will be hard to find someone to take care of the cat. I will try to help you next time.” Remember that: you have the right (权利) to say no!
