\r\nsituationⅰ
\r\nq: if someone sits right next to me in an empty movie theatre, is it rude to move?
\r\na: maybe, but nobody will fault you for it. chances are that the close sitter doesn’t realize he disturbs you, so he may miss your annoyance. you undoubtedly aren’t the first person he’s met who needs enough room. forgive his bad judgment, move quietly and enjoy the show.
\r\nsituationⅱ
\r\nq: if i use the bathroom at a store, do i need to buy something?
\r\na: consider frequency and urgency. is this a one-time thing or an emergency? if so, you don’t have to buy anything, but it would be kind if you did. however, if you regularly use the bathroom at this place, then you are a customer, and you should act like one.
\r\nsituation ⅲ
\r\nq: if someone is talking loudly on the bus, is there a nice way to ask him to keep it down?
\r\na: no, try other means:1) stare at him until he gets aware of it and quiets down.2) lift your finger in a silence motion(动作) and smile.3) put on earphones and ignore him.
\r\nsituation ⅳ
\r\nq: if i remember my friend’s birthday a day late, should i apologize or just wish her a happy birthday like nothing happened?
\r\na: this is the reason why the word belated was invented. “happy belated birthday!” is short for:“well, i know i forgot. but then i remembered. forgive me and happy birthday.”
\r\nsituationⅴ
\r\nq: can i lie about seeing a text because i was too busy or lazy to respond to it?
\r\na: don’t lie. receiving a text does not mean you need to respond to it. why waste a perfectly good lie when the truth will serve? “yes,” you can say if ever asked,“i saw it.”no explanation is needed as to why you don’t respond.

passage d

    50 years ago barbie millicent roberts first appeared in the world of toys. barbie, as everyone called her, has become the most successful toy in history. according to barbie’s parents, the mattel company, 90% of all american girls between 3 and 10 have at least one barbie at home.
    in today’s world, however, barbie is facing an identity crisis. there are many rivals on the market. for example, bratz dolls, which are very popular among older girls, came to life seven years ago. they look more like today’s pop stars with heavy make-up（浓妆）and fashionable miniskirts. today bratz is a challenge for barbie, because the company offers a wide variety of clothing, too.
    it seems that barbie has lost her appeal to older girls. “for younger girls playing with a barbie is much fun, but when you get older you want something chic, says alina foley, a shop assistant in a new york toy store. indeed, sales have been going down over the past year, partly because of the world’s economic crisis.

     on the international market, barbie remains number one. although mattel has been selling fewer barbies in the united states over the past year, sales in other countries have been going up. in january mattel opened its first barbie store in shanghai, where girls can shop, eat or even become their own fashion designer.
barbie has changed her image many times over the past decades. originally she worn blond pony tails and had bright red lips. in the 80s she changed to a more colorful new look.
     for her 50th birthday mattel is planning some big events. fashion designers from all over the world have been called to make new clothes for barbie. she is also scheduled to be a big star during the new york fashion week.
how long will barbie stay on as a celebrity（名人）in the world of toy dolls? hard to say, but 50 is definitely not the age to retire.
