But have you ever stopped to think about why?“Hello“ is a relatively new greeting. It first appeared sometime in the mid-1800s, but many people would not have dreamed of using it. “Hello” was considered a very impolite way to greet someone. Instead, people used formal expressions like “How do you do?”Back then, there were several words that sounded like “hello J but they were used to get someone's attention or to express surprise. F.or example, if you caught your little brother stealing your snack, you might have said, "Halloa there! Stop eating my cheese!” If you found a fly in your soup, you might have shouted, "Hullo! How did that get in there?"Everything started to change in 1876, when Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. The first telephones didn't have numbers you could dial, nor did they have bells or ringers. Instead, your telephone set signals along telephone lines to a central office where an operator would answer by saying something like "Are you there, sir?" or "Wha.t is wanted?” The operator would then connect your phone to the phone of the person you wanted to reach. There was just one small problem. Since telephones didn't ring, how would the person you were calling know that you were “on the line"? The answer is you would yell into your phone and hope someone on the other end heard you. But what would you yell? And what would the person you were calling say when they were going to answer? Bell suggested "Ahoy! Ahoy!” but it didn't become popular. Then the famous inventor Thomas Edison suggested the word hello. That became popular right away.According to Allen Koenigsberg, a professor of history at Brooklyn College in New York City, Edison liked “hello“ because it was easy to hear. "And others,“ says Koenigsberg, "found that, of all things, the word 'hello' told the listener, c¥ou9d better get to the phone, because there's a message coming in.'"“Hello” became so popular that by 1878 telephone operators were required to use it. In fact, operators received the nickname（绰号）“Hello Girls." Soon, "hello“ became not just the standard way to answer the phone, but an accepted way to greet people in person.So the next time you answer your phone with a “hello,“ or its shortened fbrm, "hi J think about Edison. If it weren't fbr him, you might be saying “Ahoy! Ahoy! instead!61. Why was "hello“ seldom used when it first appeared?A. It was too informal.B. Tt was hard to pronounce.C. It was considered to be rude.D. There were other words like “hello”.62. Which of the following was used to greet people in the mid-1800s?A. Halloa.B. Hello.C. Ahoy.D.

Paragraph 4 is mainly about.A. how “hello“ was used to answer the telephoneB. the friendship between Bell and EdisonC. the invention of the telephoneD. how the telephone improved65. We can infer from the text that.A. "heHo" got popular as soon as the telephone was inventedB. the telephone has changed the way people speakC. people liked simple expressions like “heHo”D. Bell advised girls to use "hello”CThere were smiling children all the way. Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved.I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight, Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave back.From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was lor.oking at it for the first time.The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug （拥 抱）. I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weather-bea
