What has happened to such visits?Actually I know the answer.Times have changed.Everybody gets busy with work.There is no longer a stayathome mom keeping a pot of hot coffee or tea ready throughout the day for a surprise guest.Booming malls and stores are now replacing homes as a central form of entertainment.
Just the other day a former student of mine showed up.“I'm sorry for the surprise visit.” My student began.“I just wanted to see if you still lived here.I'll only stay a minute.”
My response was immediate.“No,you won't,”
I said.“Just come in,sit,have coffee,and we'll talk.”
I had nothing in the kitchen but we ordered pizza.And we had a lovely time.I have tried to keep the dropin tradition alive though it takes some effort.
【语篇解读】 文章说明了顺便造访现象已经变得很少见,并分析了其中原因,分享了作者对此现象的一些感受。
1.The author regarded his friend's invitation—“ You'll have to drop in sometime” as ________.
A.a kind of politeness
B.an excuse of leaving
C.a nice way of refusal
D.an expression of surprise
答案 A [推理判断题。由文中第一段第三句话“作者立刻感觉到如果自己真的顺便造访他的朋友,朋友会吓一跳,看着我问‘你有什么事么’”。可知作者的朋友并不是要邀请作者顺便造访,而是一句礼貌的回应。]
