“Yes, I am glad they’ve finally decided to clean them.”The nurse answered. She looked at mum strangely and said,”But aren’t you working late?”
Mum just pushed harder, each wipe of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall. I waited until she was out of sight and the nurse had turned back to writing in the big book.
After a long time mum came back. Her eyes were shining. She quickly put the mop back and took my hand. As we turned to go out of the door, mum bowed politely to the nurse and said ,”Thank you.”
Outside, mum told me,“Dagmar is fine. No fever.”

【点拨】利用词汇感情色彩，推断作者情感态度。

【题型解密】利用词汇感情色彩，推断作者情感态度。

每一篇文章都包含有作者的某种观点或态度，只不过有的是直截了当，有的含而不露，只有通过所用词汇的褒贬来体现。

此类题可细分为作者态度题（表明作者的好恶）和作者观点题（表明作者对某事物的观点）。

准确把握作者的情感和态度需要注意以下几点：
1. 作者对某一事物要么支持，要么反对，带中立色彩的词最不可能是正确答案。

2. “漠不关心类”词语一定不对，既然写文章就不会“不关心”。

3. 要区分开作者的态度和作者引用的别人的态度。

4. 作者观点一般与文中主旨相关联。

5. 当作者的态度没有明确提出时，要学会根据作者所使用的词语的褒贬性进行判断。

6. 一般情况下，带有表示绝对化或过于强烈感情的词的选项必错。

如strong, complete, entire, enthusiastic等。

7. 持有保留态度的选项常常是正确答案。

Make a decision not to hold back in conversations. What you have to say is just as important a s what other people say. And don’t turn down party invitations just because of your shyness.
Prepare yourself for being with others in groups. Make a list of the good qualities you have. Then make a list of ideas, experiences, and skills you would like to share with other people. Think about what you would like to say in advance. Then say it.
If you start feeling self-conscious in a group, take a deep breath and focus your attention on other people. Remember, you are not alone. Other people are concerned about the impression they are making, too.
