Two weeks later, the businessman returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41. B. Laughing, the businessman replied, Where else in San Francisco can I park my car for tw
67、o weeks for only $15.41?C. A businessman walks into a bank in San Francisco and asks for the loan officer. He says he is going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000. The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for such a loan. D. The loan officer says, We
68、are very happy to have had your business, and it has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire.

An employee drives the car into the banks underground garage and parks it there. 76._ 77. _ 78._ 79._ 80._ BPut the following sentences A - E into the blanks in the passage.A It is som
70、etimes said that the English are polite peopleB “If” is a small word, which appears often in the English languageC In grammatical terms, she is using the conditional structureD A government spokesman might say to a group of workersE The conditional is often used by people in the news-politicians_81_
71、.This can make life difficult for foreigners. Suppose a foreign boy asks an English girl to go out with him and she says. “If I finish my work, Ill meet you in the caf at 7 oclock.” Is she saying “yes” or “no” to his invitation? _82_. By using the conditional, speakers of English can avoid giving a
72、“yes” or “no” answer to a question. It enables people to be diplomatic(有策略的). If the girl doesnt want to go out with the boy, she wont turn up at the place and she will let him understand she is still working. If she wants to go out with him, but doesnt want to appear too easy to catch, she has achi
73、eved that with her reply. But in this case, as she uses the first conditional which shows probability, she is quite likely to turn up at the caf. Being polite can make life very difficult. _83_, for example, who wish to avoid speaking out their ideas. This is very important if they are on their way
74、to discuss an agreement. No one wants to give away his or her points before he or she starts. _84_, “if we could pay you more, we would” The use of the conditional here makes room for argument although the speaker is using the second conditional form, which shows improbability. So it is unlikely the
75、 workers will get their rise. _85_. It can show politeness and conditionals such as the First-probabilityif I can come to your party, I will, the Second improbabilityif I saw you tomorrow. Id give you the book, and the Thirdimpossibility (meaning it is too late to change something that has happened)
