问题     One silly question I simply cannot tolerate is "How do you feel?" Usually the question is asked of a man in action—a man walking along the street, or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? He’ll probably say, "Fine, I’m all right. " But you have put a bug in his ear—maybe now he is not sure. If you are his good friend, you may have seen something on his face, or in his walk, that he overlooked that morning. It makes him worrying a little. He looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else, "How do you feel?"
    Every question has its time and place. It’s perfectly acceptable, for instance, to ask "How do you feel?" if you are visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to take a train or sitting at his desk working, it’s no time to ask him that silly question.
    When George Bernard Shaw, the famous British writer of plays was in his eighties, someone asked him, "How do you feel?" Shaw put him in his place. "When you reach my age," he said, "either you feel all right or you are dead. "
This passage can be entitled______.
选项 A、Silly Question
B、Don’t Trouble a Busy Man
C、What Are Good Greetings
D、George Bernard Shaw’s Reply
答案A
解析 本题是关于全文的最佳标题类问题，需要通读全文，在综观全文的基础之上才能总结归纳出来。文章各段都是围绕着“How do you feel?”这个使用不当就会成为一个愚蠢的问题的问候语而展开的。所以本文最好的标题是选择项A“一个愚蠢的问题”。
