Question

閱讀短文，并按要求完成題。

“Hello” is one of the first words we learn as babies, yet it’s one of the last ones we think to use as adults. That’s unlucky, because saying hello is more than just saying hello. How might the world change—how might we change—if we mastered this word? ①I spent one month saying hello to every person I met. Here’s what I’ve learned.

* It can make the students more active. In a study on this subject, Allan Smith, an assistant professor, had middle school teachers greet their students individually (個別的) each morning. And the whole day, the students behaved actively because of this exchange of greetings. School went from impersonal to personal and that caused more class participation (合作) and better grades.

* Environments influence friendliness. One study found that people in the city were less likely to shake hands with a stranger than those in the countryside. ②And researchers think pleasant environments can encourage more smiles and hellos. For example, people in vacation spots were much more friendly than those hurrying to work downtown.

* It improves people’s health. It’s impossible to say hello without smiling. And smiling has been shown to lower blood pressure, reduce stress and bring happiness. Obviously, a smile creates a similar effect in the recipient (接受者).

So maybe we can make the world a better place by saying hello. After a month of doing it, I feel lighter and more connected and I have a better sense of happiness.

【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文中作者告訴我們，主動的問候別人，對別人微笑，這不僅對自己的健康有好處，而且你會發現這個世界會變得更好，讓人有幸福感。因此我們要好好使用hello這個詞，主動的去問候別人。

1.根據短文第二段中Allan Smith, an assistant professor, had middle school teachers greet their students individually (個別的) each morning. And the whole day, the students behaved actively可知，當Allan，一個助教，讓中學的老師每天早上一個個的問候他的學生的時候，整整一天，這些學生們都表現很積極。故這個句子是符合文意的。

2.根據短文第四段中And smiling has been shown to lower blood pressure, reduce stress and bring happiness.可知，微笑可以降低血壓、減少壓力、帶來幸福。這就是微笑對人的身體健康的作用。

3.原句意為：我花費了一個月的時間，對我遇到的每一個人說你好。這個句子中所使用的句型是spend + 一段時間+ in doing sth.，表示花費時間做某事。變成同義句時，我們可以用take 表示花費的句型，即It takes sb.+一段時間+to do sth.。故這里應該填took, say。

4.根據文意可知，這篇短文中作者告訴我們，主動的問候別人，對別人微笑，你會發現這個世界會變得更好，讓人有幸福感。整篇短文的主題句出現在最后一段，maybe we can make the world a better place by saying hello，通過說hello，我們可以讓這個世界成為一個更好的地方。

5.pleasant 是一個形容詞，意思是令人愉悅的；encourage 鼓勵，激勵，激發。因此這個句子的意思是：研究人員認為令人愉悅的環境能夠激發更多的微笑和問候。
