The professor gave us _____ talk on multicultural Canadian society, _____ topic few of us are familiar with.

A.a; the B.the; a C.a; a D.the; the

A

解析试题分析:考察冠词。本题第一空后的名词talk表示发言,是一个可数名词,用a表示泛指。第二空名词topic后面有定语从句修饰,表示特指,故使用定冠词the。句意:这位教授给我们做了一个关于多元文化的加拿大社会的报告,这是一个我们中很少有人熟悉的话题。故A正确。
考点:考察冠词
点评:冠词用法中要特别注意:不定冠词a/an泛指某一个人或某一个事物。定冠词the特指某一人或者某一个事物;解答有关冠词的题型可以从三方面入手,一是习惯搭配,二是固定短语,三是具体语境分析。对于固定短语平时应多读多记。

In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh(法老)treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.

Shades of that spirit spread over today's conversations. Once a friend arid I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked light heartedly out the door ,picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, “Oh boy, bad

day for a picnic. The weatherman says it’s going to rain. ,,I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, for his smile.

Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Grey hound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile,“Oh that bus left five minutes ago. ” Dreams of head-cutting!

It’s not the news that makes someone angry. It’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered. Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and winning profes?sionals do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an employee he didn’t get the job takes on a sym?pathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feel?ing of the receiver.

Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When you7 re tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isnt ready yet? When you had your heart set on the toast beef, has your waiter told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.

Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, 1 would have ap?preciated his warming . Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, “Oh, that’s all right I'll catch the next one. ” Big winners, when they bear bad news,deliver bombs with the emotion the hombarded(被轰炸的)person is sure to have.
