Question

【题目】What are magic words? Words like ‘thank you’, ‘please’ and ‘sorry’ can work wonders in our daily life. These polite expressions are used every day in American – among strangers, between friends or with family. People with good manners always communicate with others well by using these magic words.

What should you do when you receive a gift for your birthday?你最好坐下来写一封感谢信。68. The words ‘thank you’ are very important and used very often. We say them when someone hands us a letter, passes us a book, offers us a drinks, or lends us an umbrella.

‘Please’ is another important word, but many people forget to use it. It is not polite to ask someone for help without saying ‘please’. We are supposed to use it when we ask for something, too. It may be a book, a pen, or more milk. It may be in the classroom, at home, or at the bus stop. We can use ‘please’ to make a request（请求）pleasant.

我们也应该学会说‘对不起’。If we have hurt someone’s feeling, we will have to say ‘sorry’. When we have told a lie and regret it, the same word should be used. Sometimes we have forgotten something or broken a promise, so we need to explain with the word as a beginning. ‘sorry’ is such a word that can make people forget wrongs.

‘Thank you! Please! Sorry!’ – these words are simple but useful. Man said them long ago. We use them now. So will our kids.

【解析】

试题分析：你知道单词是有魔力的吗？像“谢谢你”、“请”、“对不起”等这样的词汇就是有魔力的词汇。在我们的日常生活中，我们应多使用这样的词汇。短文中作者用生活中的实例告诉我们应该如何使用这些有魔力的词汇。

【1】good manners 好的习惯，有礼貌，with的这个短语在句中做后置定语，修饰前面的名词people；communicate with others是一个固定的短语，和某人交流；by using these magic words是一个介词短语做方式状语，通过使用这些有魔力的词汇。

【2】had better固定短语，最好……，后面应跟动词的原形；sit down坐下来；write a letter/note写一封信。根据句意可知，这里说的是感谢信，thank-you是合成形容词，感谢的，修饰后面的名词note。这句话中用and 将两个谓语动词连接起来。

【3】thank you谢谢，是固定的短语；important重要的，是一个形容词；used 前面省略了be动词，这里应该是一个被动语态，像“谢谢”这样的词经常被使用。

【4】be supposed to do sth.是一个固定的句型，应该去做某事；when在句中引导了一个时间状语从句；ask for sth.需要某个东西，想要某个东西；当有从句时，为了使句意通顺，我们可以先翻译从句的意思。

【5】should是情态动词，意思是应该，后跟动词的原形；learn to do sth.学会做某事，是一个固定的句型；say sorry说对不起。too也，是一个副词，常放在句末。
