It began back in the 1970s as part of an effort to make the world more peaceful. It was created just after the war between Israel and Egypt in 1973. The philosophy (哲學(xué)) behind it is: Say “Hello” and stop war. It sounds like a fine idea, but most of us know that simply saying “Hello” wont bring about world peace. Still, on a smaller range, the simple act of saying “Hello” to someone can make a lot of difference. This might not be obvious. After all, its such a casual thing and requires so little effort. You raise your head to someone as you pass by them in the school corridor (走廊), say “Hello”， and then its over. Although we might not realize it, a small thing like a greeting can mean a lot to a person. Many people are lonely because theyre shy. They find it difficult to municate with people, even though they want to. It leads to them feeling cut off. On this basis, maybe its a good idea, not just on Nov. 21, but every day, to remember to say “Hello” to as many people as we can. The stranger who hears your greeting may secretly smile in their heart. You might even make their day. Greeting other people is the easiest way to be polite. Politeness is the way we individual humans link up with the rest of the human world outside of our circles of family and friends. Politeness is one of the aspects of culture that make us a society rather than just many individuals living in the same space. No one said it better than the French author Joseph Joubert: “Politeness is the flower of humanity.” A “Hello” to a stranger is a small thing, and often neglected (忽視), but through it we can make the world better for another person. 語(yǔ)篇解讀：本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，主要介紹了世界問(wèn)候日的由來(lái)及意義的相關(guān)信息。 8．What is World Hello Day intended for? A．Philosophy. B．Peace. C．Politeness. D．War. 解析：選B　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“Nov. 21 is World Hello Day. It began back in the 1970s as part of an effort to make the world more peaceful”可知，世界問(wèn)候日設(shè)立的初衷是為了和平。 9．What has an effect on people most? A．Raising heads to others. B．Doing something casually. C．Meeting in the school corridor. D．The simple act of saying “Hello”． 解析：選D　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第二句“Still, on a smaller range, the simple act of saying ‘Hello’ to someone can make a lot of difference”可知，對(duì)別人影響最大的是打招呼這種簡(jiǎn)單的行為。 10．Why do some people feel lonely? A．They are unwilling to municate with others. B．They are too shy to municate with others. C．They are very fond of living alone. D．They dont like doing things as others do. 解析：選B　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的“Many people are lonely because theyre shy ... cut off”可知，一些人感到孤獨(dú)的原因是他們太害羞了，不敢和別人交流。 11．What can we learn from the last paragraph?

D．No one is better than Joseph Joubert. 解析：選B　推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“A ‘Hello’ to a stranger is a small thing, and often neglected (忽視), but through it we can make the world better for another person”可知，向別人打招呼是有影響力的。 D (2019昆明調(diào)研)National Treasure has Chinese audiences fired up.
