问：7选5题型主要考查什么方面的能力？
答： 7选5题型是一篇总长度为300到350词的文章，其中有5个空白处，要求考生根据文章内容从7个选项中选择5个答案。该题型主要考查两个方面的能力：
1. 考查考生从整体上把握文章的逻辑结构和内容的能力；
2. 考查考生理解句与句之间、段与段之间的逻辑关系的能力。
问：什么是斯诺克选项分析法？
答： 大家可能有人玩过或看过斯诺克（又称障碍台球）。我们会发现，普通人，比如说灿灿老师，打斯诺克时是“满场飞”，进球效率特低，而水平较高的人绝大部分都是进5、6号底袋，其次是3、4号中袋，最后才会选择远距离的1、2号袋。这样做的好处显而易见，在绝大部分时间，台球桌相当于只有一半大了。而且因为就近原则，进球的概率也大大提高。也就是说，水平较高的人会将原本的进球选择从6选1变成4选1，甚至是2选1，从而大大降低进球的难度。
灿灿老师发现，这种“斯诺克”的进球思路也非常适合咱们的7选5题型。因为7个选项太多，造成的干扰与花费的时间也太多，令很多学生苦不堪言。如果我们借助“斯诺克”思维，将每个题的选择范围从7选1变成4选1、3选1，甚至2选1，就可以大大降低7选5的难度。在节约时间的同时，避免了过多的干扰，正确率也能得到极大的提升，一举多得！灿灿老师把这种方法叫作“斯诺克选项分析法”。
问：“斯诺克选项分析法”需要借助哪些特征进行分类呢？
答： 物以类聚，人以群分，我们通常借助以下3个特征对选项进行初步分类。
1. 借助重现词特征对选项分类：将含有相同关键词的选项进行分类。
2. 借助代词特征对选项分类：通过指代关系、单复数、指代人/物进行分类。
3. 借助句法特征对选项分类：将从句、祈使句、疑问句、重现句型等进行分类。
★温馨提示： 选项分析的作用是帮助我们缩小选项的范围，但还不能完全确定答案。还需要运用后面章节提到的具体的解题技巧，结合上下文语义逻辑进行进一步的分析，才能确定答案。

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Color is fundamental in home design—something you'll always have in every room. A grasp of how to manage color in your spaces is one of the first steps to creating rooms you'll love to live in. Do you want a room that's full of life? Professional? Or are you just looking for a place to relax after a long day? 1 , color is the key to making a room feel the way you want it to feel .
Over the years, there have been a number of different techniques to help designers approach this important point. 2 , they can get a little complex . But good news is that there're really only three kinds of decisions you need to make about color in your home: the small ones, the medium ones, and the large ones .
3 . They ’re the little spots of color like throw pillows, mirrors and baskets that most of us use to add visual interest to our rooms. Less tiring than painting your walls and less expensive than buying a colorful sofa, small color choices bring with them the significant benefit of being easily changeable.
Medium color choices are generally furniture pieces such as sofas, dinner tables or bookshelves. 4 . They require a bigger commitment than smaller ones, and they have a more powerful effect on the feeling of a space.
The large color decisions in your rooms concern the walls, ceilings, and floors. Whether you're looking at wallpaper or paint, the time, effort and relative expense put into it are significant. 5 .
A. While all of them are useful
B. Whatever you're looking for
C. If you're experimenting with a color
D. Small color choices are the ones we're most familiar with
E. It's not really a good idea to use too many small color pieces
F. So it pays to be sure, because you want to get it right the first time
G. Color choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major ways
本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了在设计房屋时颜色的选择问题。首先，我们运用“斯诺克选项分析法”将选项初步分成三类：
A、B、C归为一类，因为都是从句。如果空白处缺从句，可以从这三个选项中选择。
D、G归为一类，因为主语都为复数。空白处下文如果为复数指代，倾向于从这两个选项中选择。
E、F归为一类，因为主语都为it。注意F中有逻辑关系词so和because。
参考答案： 1. B 2. A 3. D 4. G 5. F
1. 解析： 本题可用语法线索和原词重现线索解答。首先从语法线索来看，下文color is the key to making a room feel the way you want it to feel为主句，因此本空缺的是从句。浏览所有选项可知，A、B、C项为从句。A项主语为all of them，与上下文指代不一致，可排除。通过分析选项可知，上文线索are you just looking for对应B项中的you're looking for，且B项（无论你在找什么样的地方）符合上下文语义逻辑。故选B。
2. 解析： 本题可用语法线索和代词线索解答。首先从语法线索来看，下文they can get a little complex为主句，因此本空缺的是从句。分析剩余选项，只剩下A、C项为从句。本空后的代词they指代上句中的different techniques，与A项中的all of them一致，因此A项为正确答案。A项代入句中意为：虽然所有的技巧都有用处，但是它们有点儿复杂。
3. 解析： 本题可用代词线索和逻辑线索解答。由空白处后面的句点可知，应填入一个句子。根据后面的代词线索They可知，空白处的句子中一定有复数名词。分析剩余选项，只有D、G符合。语义上，第二段末尾提出了关于房屋装修颜色需要做的三种决定（the small ones, the medium ones, and the large ones）。第四、五段首句分别介绍了后两种决定（Medium color choices...和The large color decisions...），因此第三段应为介绍第一种决定（the small ones），故D项（Small color choices...）符合段落主题。
4. 解析： 本题可用代词线索和逻辑线索解答。根据后面一句开头的代词They可知，空白处的句子中一定有复数名词。分析剩余选项，只有G符合。注意Color choices in this range就是指的上文中的Medium color choices。同时，根据上文线索可知，本段主要讲述中等物件颜色的选择。故G项为正确答案。
5. 解析： 本题可用逻辑线索解答。本题考查因果逻辑关系。根据上文线索可知，在对大物件的颜色做出选择时，需要付出的时间、精力和相关的费用都不少，因此，你会希望第一次就选对。通过对比剩下的C、E、F项，只有F项符合语义逻辑关系。

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Both men and women are living longer these days in industrialized countries. 6 In general, they can expect to live six or seven years more than men. One reason for this is biological.
One important biological factor that helps women live longer is the difference in hormones between men and women. 7 Between the ages of about 12 and 50, women produce hormones that are involved in fertility（生育能力）. These hormones also have a positive effect on the heart and the blood flow. In fact, women are less likely to have high blood pressure or to die from heart attacks.
8 They help the body defend itself against some kinds of infections. This means that women generally get sick less often and less seriously than men. The common cold is a good example: women, on average, get fewer colds than men.
9 Scientists are still not exactly sure how genes influence aging, but they believe that they do. Some think that a woman's body cells have a tendency（倾向）to age more slowly than a man's. Others think that a man's body cells have a tendency to age more quickly. 10
A. However, women, on average, live longer.
B. The biological factor plays an important part.
C. Women are also helped by their female genes.
D. The female hormones also protect the body in another way.
E. Recent research seems to support both of these possibilities.
F. Therefore, women are more healthy than men and can live a better life.
G. Hormones are chemicals which are produced by the body to control various body functions.
本文是一篇说明文。文中分析了女性比男性长寿的原因。
首先，我们运用“斯诺克选项分析法”将选项初步分成三类：
A、C、F归为一类，因为主语都是women。
D、G归为一类，因为主语都是hormones。
剩下的B、E归为一类，因为主语均为单数。
参考答案： 6. A 7. G 8. D 9. C 10. E
6. 解析： 本题可用代词线索和逻辑线索解答。根据下文代词线索they表示复数概念以及指代women可知，答案只能在A、C、F中。同时，根据下文线索“In general, they can expect to live six or seven years more than men（一般来说，她们有望比男性多活6或7年）”，可知空白处应该讲述女性的寿命比男性更长。所以 A 项正确。
7. 解析： 本题可用原词重现和逻辑线索解答。根据下文线索可知，本段主要讲述hormones（荷尔蒙）及其作用。分析各个选项可知，只有D、G两项与荷尔蒙有关，且hormones在这两项中重现。再进一步分析可知，D项主要讲述女性的荷尔蒙还用另一种方式保护身体，G项主要讲述荷尔蒙的定义。按照逻辑顺序可知，要先介绍荷尔蒙的定义，然后再讲述荷尔蒙的作用，所以 G 项正确。
8. 解析： 本题可用逻辑线索解答。根据下文线索中的代词They表示复数概念以及指代hormones可知，答案只能在D、G中。G项已经选过，因此只能选择D项。当然，根据下文线索They help the body defend itself against some kinds of infections也可知，这里主要讲述荷尔蒙保护身体的另一种方式，所以 D项正确。
9. 解析： 本题可用逻辑线索解答。通过排除法可知，备选答案只剩下B、C、E、F项。根据下文线索Scientists are still not exactly sure how genes influence aging, but they believe that they do可知，本段主要讲了基因与衰老的关系。在剩下的选项中只有C项与genes（基因）相关，所以 C 项正确。
10. 解析： 本题可用逻辑线索解答。根据上文线索Some think that...和Others think that...可知，对于该段探讨的问题有两种观点，在剩下的B、E、F项中，只有E项符合上下文的逻辑，所以E项正确。
Section 1：真题精练
下面短文中已将已知线索加粗，主要目的是培养同学们寻找已知线索的习惯。
Paulo Magalhaes, a 34-year-old Portuguese computer engineer, loves to open his mailbox and find a brightly colored picture of Rome's Colosseum. Or Africa's Victoria Falls. Or China's Great Wall. 1
“I often send postcards to family and friends,” he says to China Daily , “but you can imagine that after a while, you never receive as many as you send, and you realize that not everyone is into it. 2 ” Seeking other like-minded souls , however, Paulo started looking in a somewhat unlikely place: online. Many would say the Internet is a place for people who have given up on the traditional postal service, but Paulo's hunch（直觉）paid off.
Today his hobby has developed into the website postcrossing.com, a social network that has grown to 575,217 registered users in 214 countries and regions since he started it 10 years ago. 3 Running the website has almost turned into a full-time job.
Language is certainly a barrier for many people. For postcrossing to work worldwide, a common communication language is needed so that everyone can understand each other. As cool as it may be to receive a postcard written in Chinese, the concept doesn't work if one doesn't understand it. 4 So a common language is required and in postcrossing that's English since it's widely spoken.
“ Many people in China have limited exposure to English. 5 That said, we know of many postcrossing members, including Chinese, who have actually improved their English skills through their use of postcrossing,” Paulo says.
A. And that's totally fine.
B. That makes it extra hard to learn and practice it.
C. He likes to think of sending postcards as a family-friendly hobby.
D. Many love to make a connection with someone from across the world.
E. On August 5, the number of postcards exchanged by members topped 31 million.
F. Similarly, if you speak only Chinese, receiving a card in Swedish takes part of the fun away.
G. In short, he loves postcards, and the excitement of getting a hand-written note from someone far away.
I experienced years of loneliness as a child. 1 His friends teased him about babysitting his sister and his interests were far different from mine. With no other kids of my age in the neighborhood, I had to spend hours by myself.
A bright spot for me turned out to be reading. My love of the written word began early as my mother read to me every evening. 2 I started reading books on my own before age 5 and my mother took me to the public library once a week to borrow several books. I quickly graduated from typical children's books to ones with fewer pictures and longer chapters. Reading opened new worlds to me. 3
My mother also encouraged me to make what I wanted . I tried making toy cars with cardboard boxes and constructing buildings from leftover cardboard and bits of wood my father gave me. When my mother saw my creations, she told me how creative my designs were. 4 I learned a lot about how to extend the life of objects and transform them into something new and useful. It was a trait（特点）others found helpful, and I soon had friends who wanted to make things with me.
5 My parents made it a point for their two kids to spend time outside, no matter the weather or season. My brother, of course, raced off to be with his friends, while I had plenty to do myself. There was making leaf houses in autumn, ice skating in winter, and so much more. They're all memories I treasure today.
A. I wasn't alone any longer.
B. I enjoyed reading stories aloud.
C. I was invited to play with another kid.
D. I loved the colorful photographs in the books.
E. Another habit I formed early was being outdoors.
F. Thus, I began my lifelong interest in making things.
G. My older brother couldn't be bothered to play with me.

3. 解析： 本题可用逻辑线索解答。上文线索Reading opened new worlds to me（阅读为我打开了新的世界）与A项I wasn't alone any longer（我不再感到孤单）形成因果逻辑关系，故选A项。
4. 解析： 本题可用同义重现和逻辑线索解答。上文线索中的make what I wanted、making toy cars、constructing buildings与选项F中的making things属于同义重现。另外，上文线索与选项F形成因果逻辑关系，故选F项。
5. 解析： 本题可用逻辑线索解答。下一句和E项形成因果逻辑关系。作者有去户外活动的习惯是因为父母的影响，故选E项。
Section 3：全文翻译
34岁的葡萄牙计算机工程师保罗·马加尔斯喜欢打开他的邮箱，然后发现一张色彩鲜艳的罗马斗兽场图片，或者是非洲的维多利亚瀑布，或者是中国的长城。简而言之，他喜欢明信片，也喜欢收到来自远方的人的手写便条时的兴奋感。
“我经常给家人和朋友寄明信片，”他对《中国日报》说，“但你可以想象，过一段时间，你寄出去的绝对不会比收到的多，而且你意识到不是每个人都喜欢这样。这也完全没什么。”然而，为了寻找其他志同道合的人，保罗开始在一个有点不大可能的地方寻找：网上。很多人会说，互联网是为那些已经放弃传统邮政服务的人准备的地方，但保罗的直觉有了好的结果。
今天，他的爱好已经发展成了postcrossing.com网站，自他10年前创办以来，这个社交网站已发展到在214个国家和地区拥有575,217名注册用户。在8月5日，用户交换的明信片数量突破了3,100万张。运营网站几乎变成了一份全职工作。
语言无疑是许多人的障碍。让postcrossing在世界范围内进行，需要有一种共同的交流语言，以便每个人都能互相理解。虽然收到一张用中文写的明信片可能很酷，但如果你看不懂，这个理念就不会产生效果。同样地，如果你只会说中文，那么收到一张用瑞典语写的卡片时也会减少一部分乐趣。所以一种通用的语言是必需的，在postcrossing中，通用的语言是英语，因为英语被广泛使用。
保罗说：“许多中国人接触英语的机会有限。这让英语学习和实践变得格外困难。尽管如此，我们知道许多参加postcrossing的成员，包括中国人，他们实际上通过利用postcrossing提高了英语水平。”

C. 他喜欢把寄明信片看作一种适合家庭的爱好。
D. 很多人喜爱和世界各地的人建立联系。
童年时我经历了多年的孤独。我的哥哥不想和我一起玩。他的朋友会因他照看妹妹而取笑他，而且他的兴趣爱好和我的相差甚远。由于附近没有其他和我同龄的孩子，我不得不长时间独处。
对我来说，阅读是一个亮点。我对文字的热爱很早就开始了，因为我母亲每天晚上都会给我读书。我喜欢书中的彩色图片。5岁之前我就开始自己读书，我母亲每周都会带我去一次公共图书馆借几本书。很快我就不再看典型的儿童读物，而是看些图片较少、章节较长的读物。阅读为我打开了新的世界。我不再感到孤单。
我母亲还鼓励我做自己想做的东西。我试着用纸盒做玩具车，用父亲给我的剩余纸板和零星的木片建造楼房。我的母亲看到我的创作时，说我的设计很有创意。于是，我开始对制作东西产生了毕生的兴趣。如何延长物体寿命并将其转化为有用的新东西，在这点上我学到了很多。这是一种别人觉得很有帮助的特点，于是我很快就结交了想和我一起做东西的朋友。
我很早养成的另一个习惯是在户外活动。无论是什么天气或季节，我的父母都要让他们的两个孩子在户外待上一段时间。当然，我的哥哥会飞快地跑去和他的朋友们待在一起，而我自己有很多事情要做。秋天搭树叶屋，冬天滑冰，还有更多的事情。这些都是我如今珍藏的回忆。

B. 我喜欢大声朗读故事。

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Rock music consists of many different styles. Even though there is a common spirit among all music groups, they make very different music. 1 At that time the Beatles entered the world of music from Liverpool.
After they were given an invitation to appear live on BBC, the Beatles quickly became famous in Britain with nationwide tours. By mid-1963, the Beatles had been extremely popular in England. 2 They held large concerts and performed at clubs. They became the hottest thing on the pop music scene in England. They began as a modestly successful musician group and ended the year as show business legends（传说）. John Lennon and Paul McCartney were named composers of the year.
3 They were not sure how the Americans would react to the new type of music. Beatlemania hit New York on February 7, 1964. Hundreds of fans jammed the airport to greet them. 4 The concert was broadcast live and attracted the largest one night audience in the history of television up to that time. The Beatles were described as a British invasion（入侵）by local and nationwide newspapers at that time. Their victory in America was still remembered as a major turning point in the history of rock and roll. Thanks to the Beatles, a lot of opportunities were opened up to new faces on the market. 5
A. They decided on a tour to the United States in 1964.
B. Even their hairstyles became major trends at that time.
C. Rock music developed in the 1950s and the early 1960s.
D. However, their songs changed the lives of generations to come.
E. Many rock bands were able to follow in the footsteps of the Beatles.
F. They appeared in the films A Hard Day's Night （1964）and Help! （1965）.
G. They performed their first concert in America at CBS television's 53rd street studio.
Some people are so rude. Who sends an e-mail or a text message that just says “Thank you”? Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you? Who asks for a fact easily found on the Internet? 1
Maybe I'm the rude one for not appreciating life's little courtesies（礼节）. But many social norms（规范）just don't make sense to people drowning in digital communication.
Take the thank-you note. Daniel Post Senning, a coauthor of Emily Post's Etiquette , asked, “At what point does showing appreciation outweigh the cost?”
2 Think of how long it takes to listen to one of those messages. In texts, you don't have to declare who you are or even say hello. E-mail, too, is slower than a text. The worst are those who leave a voice mail and then send an e-mail message to tell you they left a voice mail.
This isn't the first time technology has changed our manners. 3 Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor, suggested that people say, “Ahoy!” Finally, hello won out, and the victory sped up the greeting's use in face-to-face communications.
In the age of the smart phone, there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about: the weather forecast, a business's phone number, or directions to a house, a restaurant, or an office, which can be easily found on a digital map. 4 And when you answer, they respond with a thank-you e-mail.
How to handle these differing standards? Easy: Consider your audience. Some people, especially older ones, appreciate a thank-you message. 5 In traditional societies, the young learn from the old. But in modern societies, the old can also learn from the young. Here's hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do.
A. Then there is voice mail.
B. Others, like me, want no reply.
C. But people still ask these things.
D. Don't these people realize that they're wasting your time?
E. Won't new technology bring about changes in our daily life?
F. Face-to-face communication makes comprehension much easier.
G. When the telephone was invented, people didn't know how to greet a caller.

参考答案： 1. C 2. B 3. A 4. G 5. E
1. 解析： 本题可用时间线索和原词重现线索解答。第一段讲述摇滚音乐，根据下文线索At that time可知，空白处一定提到了时间，因此答案在A、B、C、F中。再根据重现词线索，选项中只有C 项提到了Rock music，并且讲述了其发展的时间，故选C。
2. 解析： 本题可用时间线索、代词线索和逻辑线索解答。首先，根据上文线索By mid-1963，提到时间的选项还剩A、B、F，但第二段中还没有讲述1964年和1965年的事情，第三段才讲述了1964年的事情，因此排除A和F。B项与上下文语义形成合理的逻辑关系，为正确答案。
3. 解析： 本题可用代词线索、时间线索和逻辑线索解答。根据下文线索They和on February 7, 1964可知，他们应该是决定在1964年来美国演出，所以A项符合上下文语义逻辑。
4. 解析： 本题可用原词重现线索解答。下文线索中的The concert对应G项中的their first concert，television属于原词重现，故选G。
5. 解析： 本题可用逻辑线索解答。根据上文线索可知，多亏了披头士乐队，市场上出现了很多新的摇滚乐队，所以应该会有很多新乐队能追随披头士乐队的脚步。因此选项E符合上下文语义逻辑。
文章大意： 本文讲述了科技时代新的交流方式对传统礼节的冲击，以及不同人对两者的不同运用。文章告诉我们如何互相理解，要做到既有礼貌又尽量不浪费别人的时间。
参考答案： 1. D 2. A 3. G 4. C 5. B
1. 解析： 本题可用逻辑线索解答。本段用三个疑问句列举了三个问题。通过分析选项可知，D和E也为疑问句。E项提到新技术改变我们的日常生活，这显然与上文三个疑问句提问的内容不相符。D项对上文的提问内容进行了总结，符合上下文语义逻辑，故选D。
2. 解析： 本题可用原词重现线索解答。下文线索中的voice mail 与A项中的voice mail属于原词重现，且符合上下文语义逻辑，故选A。
3. 解析： 本题可用原词重现线索解答。下文线索中的inventor对应G项中的invented，且符合上下文语义逻辑，故选G。
4. 解析： 本题可用原词重现和逻辑线索解答。首先，上文线索中有原词重现线索ask。另外，下文线索中有answer，那空白处应该有ask，形成前后呼应。这里考查的是“提问—回答”的逻辑关系。选项C中提到了ask these things，符合上下文语义逻辑，故选C。
5. 解析： 本题可用逻辑线索解答。根据上文线索可知，不同的人群对不同的礼节标准有不同的看法，因此我们要考虑受众。有一些人，特别是老年人，喜欢收到一条表示感谢的信息。而另一些人呢？空白处应该是对此进行阐述。通过分析选项可知，B项与上文形成对比，指出其他人与老年人不同，故选B。
Section 3：全文翻译
摇滚音乐有许多不同的风格。虽然所有乐团都有共同的精神，但他们所制作的音乐大不相同。摇滚乐兴起于20世纪50年代和60年代初。当时披头士乐队从利物浦进入了音乐界。
在他们受邀参加BBC的现场演出后，通过全国巡演，披头士乐队声名鹊起。到1963年中期，披头士乐队在英国已经非常受欢迎。甚至他们的发型也成为当时的主要潮流。他们举办了大型音乐会，在俱乐部演出。他们成为英国流行音乐舞台上最红的人物。他们起初只是一个不太成功的乐团，当年年底他们成为演艺界的传说。约翰·列侬和保罗·麦卡特尼被评为当年的年度作曲家。
1964年，他们决定去美国巡演。他们并不确定美国人对这种新型音乐将做何反应。1964年2月7日，披头士热席卷纽约。数百名粉丝挤满了机场来迎接他们。在哥伦比亚广播公司的第53街演播室，他们举行了在美国的首场音乐会。这场音乐会进行了现场直播，一晚上吸引了到那时为止电视史上最多的观众。在那时，披头士乐队被当地及全国性报纸描述为“英国人的入侵”。他们在美国的胜利仍然被视为摇滚乐历史上的一个重要转折点。多亏了披头士乐队，市场上的许多机会都向新面孔敞开了大门。许多摇滚乐队都能追随披头士乐队的脚步。

D. 然而，他们的歌曲改变了后代的生活。
F. 他们出现在1964年的《一夜狂欢》和1965年的《救命！》这两部电影中。
有些人是如此粗鲁。谁发的电子邮件或短信只说“谢谢你”？谁会留下语音信息而不给你发短信？谁会问一个在互联网上很容易找到的事实情况？这些人难道没有意识到他们在浪费你的时间吗？
也许我是个粗鲁的人，因为我不重视生活中的小礼节。但许多社会规范对于沉迷在数字交流的人来说是毫无意义的。
以感谢信为例。丹尼尔·波斯特·森宁是《艾米莉·波斯特的礼仪》的作者之一，他问道：“在什么情况下，致谢的重要性胜过其所费的周折？”
接着是语音信息。想一想，听一条这样的信息需要多长时间。在短信中，你不必表明你是谁，甚至不需要打招呼。看电子邮件也比看短信更慢。最糟糕的是这样的人：他们留下了语音信息，之后又发送电子邮件，来告知你他们留下了语音信息。
这并非科技首次改变我们的礼仪。电话被发明出来时，人们不知道如何问候来电者。发明家亚历山大·格雷厄姆·贝尔建议人们这样说：“啊嘿！”最终，“你好”胜出，这加快了该问候语在面对面交流中的使用。
在智能手机时代，已经没有理由再问曾经可以接受的问题：天气预报，一家企业的电话号码，或者去一栋住宅、一家餐馆或一间办公室的路，这些在数字地图上都很容易找得到。但是人们仍然会问这些问题。当你回答之后，他们会给你回复一封致谢邮件。
如何处理这些不同的标准？很简单：考虑你的受众。有些人，特别是老年人，喜欢收到一条表示感谢的信息。另外一些人，像我，不想要得到任何回复。在传统社会，年轻人向老年人学习。但在现代社会，老年人也可以向年轻人学习。希望礼貌永远不会过时，但浪费时间的沟通方式可以被潮流淘汰。
