24、   The father of the modern cartoon was the English artist William Hogarth(1697-1764）.There were others before him who made drawings that made fun of silly customs and behaviour.But Hogarth really started the art of cartooning .He was interested in human nature ,in the character and attitudes of people. His drawings made fun of universal（追的，影响全体的） situations and problems such as drunkenness, spoiled youngsters, crimes of all sorts,and even crooked elections. The work of Hogarth was continued by another Englishman. Thomas Rowlandson. His cartoons were printed in large quantities and sent all over England.He exaggerated human features to make people look ridiculous, which is known as caricature （漫画，讽刺画）. Early in the 19th Century， European journals, which were similar to many modern magazines, began to print cartoons that expressed opinions on events of the day, and this was the beginning of political cartoons which appear in our daily newspapers today. One of the greatest political cartoonists was the Frenchman Honore Daumier (1808-1879). He made bitter attacks on people in power and corruption in government.

26、”How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way that people greet each other in the USA. But “How are you?” is also a very unusual question.

It’s a question that often doesn’t have an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” hopes to hear the answer “Fine”, even if the person’s friend isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine” isn’t really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”.

Sometimes, people also don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks, “Do you agree?” the other person might think, “No, I disagree. I think you’re wrong…” But it isn’t very polite to disagree strongly, so the other person might say, “I’m not sure…”. It’s a nice to say that you don’t agree with someone.

People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says “I have to go now.” Often, the person who wants to hang up gives excuses, “Someone is at the door.” “Something is burning on the stove (炉子).” The excuses might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk anymore, but it isn’t polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other person.

When people are greeting each other or talking about an idea, they don’t say exactly what they are thinking. It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it’s also part of the game of language.

【1】When a person in the United States asks “How are you?”, he or she wants to hear “________”.

A．How are you?

B．Hello!

C．I don’t know.

D．Fine.

【2】A polite way to finish a talk is to say “________”.

A．You have to go now.

B．I want to hang up.

C．I have to go now.

D．I don’t want to talk anymore.

【3】The rule of the game of language is probably “________”.

A．Always say what you mean.

B．Don’t disagree with people.

C．Say exactly what you are thinking sometimes.

D．Be polite.

The young man saw his light suddenly. When he went hack he removed many listed goals from his plan, leaving only a few recent ones, while with the snare time he studied all kinds of hobbies.
