One foolish question I can’t stand(忍受) is “How do you feel?” Usually the question is asked of a man on the go -- a man hurriedly 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(小虫) in his ear -- maybe now he’s not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face or his walk that he didn’t notice that morning. It starts worrying him a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go happily on your way asking someone else “How do you feel?”. Every question has its time and place. It’s quite all right, for example, to ask “How do you feel?” if you’re visiting a close friend in hospital. But if he is walking on both legs, hurrying to take a train, or sitting at his desk working, do not ask him that foolish question.
When George Bernard Shaw, a famous writer of plays, was in his eighties, someone asked him, “How do you feel?” Shaw said, “Young man, when you reach my age, either you feel all right or you’re dead.”
34. The underlined phrase “on the go” means _____.
A. being busy B. being free C. having a go D. having a rest
35. The question “How do you feel?” seems to be correct when asked of a man _____.
A. hurriedly walking along the street B. being ill in hospital
C. hurrying to take a train D. busily working at his desk

A. proud B. sad C. polite D. humorous
37. Which do you think is the best title for this passage?
A. A Man On The GoB. A Right Greeting C. How Do You Feel? D. George Bernard Shaw
