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. "
The question "How do you feel?" seems to be correct and suitable when asked of______.
选项 A、a friend who is ill
B、a person who has lost a close friend
C、a stranger who looks somewhat worried
D、a man who is working at his desk
答案A
解析 本题问在何时用“How do you feel?”这个句子来问候似乎是比较恰当合适的。通读一下全文，我们可以从第二段第二句中找到与本题答案相关的提示信息。这句话指出，在医院探望生病的好朋友时此问候语就比较合适。由此可知本题的正确答案应为A“生病的朋友”。
