问题     How do you address people in English when you want to talk to them? The following may be some simple rules the beginners should follow.
    1. When talking to strangers there is often no special form of address in English. Usually, if you want to catch the attention of a stranger, it is necessary to use such phrases as "Excuse me".
    2. In British English "Sir" and "Madam" are considered to be too formal for most situations. They are used mostly to customers in shops or restaurants. While in American English "Sir" and "Madam" are not so formal and are commonly used between strangers, especially with older people whose names you don’ t know.
    3. When you talk to some people you know, you can use their names. If you are friends, use their first names; if your relationship is more formal, use "Mr. " "Mrs. " "Ms. " etc. before their family names.
    4. There are many other forms of address which can be used between friends and strangers. However, many of these are limited in use. For example , " pal"and mate" can be used between strangers, but are usually only used by men talking to other men.  
What does the word "pal" in the last paragraph mean?
选项 A、Partner.
B、Couple.
C、Classmate.
D、Friend.
答案D
解析 词语理解题。根据第4条最后一句“…‘pal’and‘mate’can be used between strangers，but are usually only used by men talking to other men。”可知，pal的意 思和mate相近，意为“伙伴，哥们儿”，经常用于男性朋友之间，所以选项D正确。
