In modern usage, it is often stated as an indirect way of asking what someone is thinking about.This phrase is basically a proposal (提议), and the speaker is offering to pay to hear the listeners thoughts. It is an idiom, of course, and not meant literally (字面上地) so no real payment generally takes place.When the saying originated, a penny was worth a lot more than it is in the 21st century.Therefore, “a penny for your thoughts” likely indicated the thoughts were more valuable to those asking the listener for them than they are by todays standards. This loss of value can be used ironically (讽刺地), however, through tone (语气) of voice; it can be used to indicate that someones idea is bad or worth a penny in modern value.The phrase is generally credited to a man by the name of John Heywood, who was born sometime just before the 16th century. During his life, he was a writer who penned many plays and a book in 1546, later known as The Proverbs of John Heywood. It is likely that Heywood did not actually come up with the phrase “a penny for your thoughts”. Rather, he was simply the first person to have set the phrase down in written form. The actual origins of the term are unknown, and since his book was simply a collection of common idioms and expressions, it was probably familiar to people in the mid 1500s.Another phrase similar to “a penny for your thoughts”is offering “your two cents” after making a statement. Someone might give his or her opinion and then say, “thats my two cents，” to indicate the value of his or her idea. While, much like a penny, “two cents” is relatively low in value now, it would have been more valuable at one time and the expression is used in much the same way.1When someone says “a penny for your thoughts”， he or she_.Awants to ask you for advice Bconsiders your thoughts uniqueCis curious about whats on your mindDwill pay for what youre thinking about解析：选C细节理解题。根据第一段中的“asking people to volunteer their opinions on an issue being discussed”和“asking what someone is thinking about”可知答案。2The modern meaning of “a penny for your thoughts” _.Ais more closely connected to the value of the pennyBcan differ greatly according to a speakers tone of voiceCcan confuse the listener easilyDis more popularly accepted 解析：选B推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知，由于便士的价值在古代和现在相差甚远，因此现在也可以用“a penny for your thoughts”来表达对方的主意一文不值，也就是说，根据说话人的语气，这个习语的意思大相径庭。3In what way is Heywood related to the phrase “a penny for your thoughts”？AH
