Have you ever thought about your body changes? Up to about the age of eight or nine, girls and boys look quite alike. They have similar shaped bodies( 形体相似 ) and their voices sound almost the same. As they grow, all their organs ( 器官) grow, too.

At the same time after the age of ten, often at eleven or twelve, boys’ and girls’ bodies start changing. This time of change is called puberty. The changes mean their bodies are getting ready so that they’ll be able to have children when they are older.

The changes don’t happen to everyone at the same time. Each person has his or her own body changing timetable. By the time they’re eighteen, they should be complete. Girls start changing some years sooner than boys. Until they’re fifteen or so, they grow faster than boys of the same age. As years go by, boys can catch up and grow taller and stronger. Girls grow taller and heavier as well, their faces and breasts become fuller. As well as all the changes you can see happening, other important changes that you can’t see are

happening inside your body at the same time.

“How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way that people in the U.S.A greet each other. But “How are you?” is also a very unusual question. It’s a question that often doesn’t need an answer. The

person who asks “How are you?” hopes to hear the answer “Fine”, even if the person’s friend isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine” isn’t really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”.

Sometimes, people also don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone Asks “Do you agree?” the other person might think, “No, I disagree. I think you’re Wrong...”But it isn’t very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say “I’m not sure.” It’s a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone.

People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person say “I’ve to go now.” Often, the person who wants to hang up gives and excuse: “Someone’s at the door.” “Something is burning on the stove.” The excuses might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more, but it isn’t polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other person.

Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, of finishing a talk, people don’t say

exactly that they are thinking. It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it’s part of the game of language.

( )58. When a person in America asks “How are you?”, he or she wants to hear“

A. How are you? B. Hello C.I don’t know. D. Fine

( )59. When a person disagree with someone, it is polite to say“ ”

A. You are wrong. I disagree. B. I’m not sure.

C. I’m sure I disagree. D. No, I disagree.

( )60. When a person says “I’ve to go now. Someone is at the door.” the person may be.

A. giving an excuse B. hurting someone’s feeling

2008外研版初三英语期中调研试卷

C. ill D. asking you a question

( )61. The rule of the game of language is probably.

A. “Always say what you mean” B. “Don’t disagree with people.”
