A|北京五中校本经典题 Have you ever had the idea to go abroad? To know how 26.toask（ask）for help politely is important when you visit a foreign country. For example, “Where is the bookstore?” and “Could you please tell me where the bookstore is?” are similar requests for 27. directions（direction）to a place. Both are correct English, 28. but the first one is a very direct question and sounds less polite. It is not enough to just ask a question 29. correctly（correct）. We also need to learn how to be polite when we ask for help.
Good speakers change 30. the way they speak in different situations. Their expressions depend on 31. whom（who）they are speaking to or how well they know each other.
Polite questions are usually longer than 32. impolite（polite）questions. Polite questions use expressions such 33. as “Could you please …?” or “May I ask …?” It sounds more polite. Sometimes we even need to spend time 34. leading（lead）into a request.
Speaking politely seems 35. more difficult（difficult）than speaking directly. However, it is important to learn how to use the right language in different situations. You should learn it well to communicate better with others.

答案： 26. to ask 27. directions 28. but 29. correctly 30. the 31. whom 32. impolite 33. as 34. leading 35. more difficult
