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。]
