"What do you think of soap operas?" asks what opinion you have of soap operas. You would almost never hear "How do you think of soap operas." I can't conceive of a situation where that form would be used. The nearest I could come would be to ask a person how it was possible to think of soap operas when there was something more important. In that case, you would use "can": "How can you think soap operas at a time like this!?" Translation: 这是一个安静的街道第五大道对开. "off Fifth Avenue" means that you could turn onto the street from Fifth Avenue. Anybody please let me know if this is a bad translation.
