    　　It's sometimes said that the English are polite people. This can make life
    difficult for foreigner. Suppose a foreign boy asks an English girl to go out with
    him and she says, " If I finish my work, I'll meet you in the café at 7 o'clock," Is
    she saying " yes" or " no" to his invitation?
    　　In grammatical terms, she is using the conditional structure. By using the
    conditional, speakers of English can avoid giving a "yes" or " no" answer to a
    question. It enables people to be diplomatic. If the girl doesn't want to go out
    with the boy, she won't turn up at the café. She will let him understand she is still
    working. If she wants to go out with him, but doesn't want to appear too easy to
    catch, she has achieved that with her reply. But in this case, as she uses the first
    conditional which shows probability, she is quite likely to turn up at the café.
    Being polite can make life very difficult!
    　　The conditional is often used by people in the news-politicians, for
    example-who to avoid speaking out their ideas. This is very important if they are
    on their way to discuss an agreement. No one wants to give away his or her
    points before he or she starts. A government spokesman might say to a group of
    workers, " if we could pay you more, we would.' The use of the conditional here
    makes room for argument although the speaker is using the second conditional
    form, which shows improbability. So it is unlikely the workers will get their
    rise.
    　　"If" is a small word, which appears often in the English language. It can
    show politeness, reported speech and conditionals such as the
    First-probability-if I can come to your party, I will; the
    second -improbability-if I saw you tomorrow, I'd give you the book; and the
    third-impossibility( meaning it is too late to change something that has
    happened)-if you have told me. I would have helped you.
    1. The using of the conditional can make a speech _____.
    A. clearer
    B. quicker
    C. more polite
    D. more exciting
    2. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
    A. Language used in the news should make room to argue.
    B. Usually English girls are not easy to catch.
    C. English people never speak out their ideas in public.
    D. The word "if" can show different meanings.
    3. In the passage," If we could pay you more, we would." probably means _____.
    A. the workers will make more money
    B. the spokesman doesn't give any promise
    C. the spokesman keeps his word
    D. the workers' problems aren't difficult
    4. This passage is mainly talking about _____.
    A. the conditional in communication
    B. how to invite a girl in Britain
    C. British people and their life
    D. some language points in daily English

        It is sometimes said that the English are polite people. This can make life difficult for foreigners. Suppose a
    foreign boy asks an English girl to go out with him and she says, "If I finish my work, I'll meet you in the cafe
    at 7 o'clock." Is she saying "yes" or "no" to his invitation? 
        In grammatical terms, she is using the conditional structure (表示条件的句式). By using the conditional,
    speakers of English can avoid (避免) giving a "yes" or "no" answer to a question. It enables people to be
    diplomatic(婉转的). If the girl doesn't want to go out with the boy, she won't appear at the cafe. She will let him
    understand she is still working. If she wants to go out with him, but doesn't want to appear too easy to catch,
    she has achieved (达到) that with her reply. Here she uses the first conditional which shows probability, it seems
    that she will go to the cafe. Being polite can make life very difficult!
        The conditional is often used by people like politicians (政客), for example--who wish to avoid speaking out
    their ideas. This is very important if they are on their way to discuss an agreement. No one wants to give away
    his or her points before he or she starts. A government spokesman might say to a group of workers, "If we
    could pay you more, we would." The use of the conditional here makes room for argument although the speaker
    is using the second conditional form, which shows improbability. So it is unlikely the workers will get their rise.
        "If " is a small word, which often appears in the English language. It can show politeness, reported speech
    and conditionals such as the First—probability—if I can come to your party, I will; the Second—improbability—
    if I saw you tomorrow, I'd give you the book; and the Third—impossibility (meaning it is too late to change
    something that has happened)—if you have told me, I would have helped you.

    (1)Daniel(丹尼尔)  was always making excuses for forgetting to do things. His usual excuse was: “I was too busy.” or “I didn’t have time.”

    In England, afternoon tea, taken between four and five, is the most informal(非正式的) meal of the day. If you are a friend of the family, you may drop in for tea without an invitation（邀请） or telling that you are coming. Very often it is not served at a table. The members of the family and visitors take tea in the sitting room. Each person has a cup and saucer(托盘)，a spoon and a small plate for bread-and-butter and cake. By the way, do not help yourself to cake first; bread-and-butter first, then cake if there is any. Another piece of advice: Do not put more than one piece of bread or cake on your plate at the same time.
