( )---- I am terribly busy these days. A. How are you? B. How are things with you, Bill? C. What are you doing? D. How do you do?

答案为B。这是一道考查问候语的题目。根据对话下文的意思“我这些天都很忙。”判断对方问的是“最近怎么样？”，答案B “How are things with you, Bill ?”正有此意。对于A的回答一般是 “I’m fine, thank you.”；C问的是“你正在干什么？”与答语不合；答案D “How do you do?”是对“How doyou do?”的回答，用于初次见面打招呼。
