答案:B第五章測試What

way

is

used

in

writing

the

following

lead-in（

）？

What

is

love?

How

do

we

know

that

we

are

really

in

love?

When

we

meet

that

special

person,

how

can

we

tell

that

our

feelings

are

genuine

and

not

merely

infatuation?

And,

if

they

are

genuine,

will

these

feelings

last?

Love,

as

we

all

know,

is

difficult

to

define.

But

most

people

agree

that

true

and

lasting

love

involves

far

more

than

mere

physical

attraction.

Love

involves

mutual

respect,

the

desire

to

give

rather

than

take,

and

the

feeling

of

being

wholly

at

ease.

Early

Sunday

morning,

the

young

mother

dressed

her

little

girl

warmly

and

gave

her

a

candy

bar,

a

picture

book,

and

a

well-worn

stuffed

rabbit.

Together,

they

drove

downtown

to

a

Methodist

church.

There

the

mother

told

the

little

girl

to

wait

on

the

stone

steps

until

children

arriving

for

Sunday

school.

Then

the

young

five-year-old
