18、ow are you?” is a nice question. Its a friendly question that people in the U.S.A use to greet each other. But “How are you?” is also a very unusual question. The person who asks “How are you?” hopes to hear the answer “Fine”, even if the persons friend isnt fine. The reason is that “How are you?” i

19、snt really a question and “Fine” isnt really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”.Sometimes, people also dont say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks “Do you agree?” the other person might think, “No, I disagree. I think youre wrong.”But it isnt very pol

20、ite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say “Im not sure.” Its a nicer way to say that you dont agree with someone.People also dont say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person say “Ive to

21、go now.” Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse: “Someones at the door.” “Something is burning on the stove.” The excuses might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesnt want to talk any more, but it isnt polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and

22、 it doesnt hurt the other person.When they are greeting each other, talking about an idea or finishing a talk, people dont say exactly what they are thinking. They are trying to be nice to each other, and its part of the game of language.1When a person in America asks “How are you?”, he or she wants

23、 to hear “_”.AHow are you? BHelloCI dont know DFine2When a person disagrees with someone, it is polite to say “_”AI think you are wrong. BIm not sure.CI agree DNo, I disagree.3When a person says “Ive to go now. Someone is at the door.” he or she may be _.Agiving an excuse BillChurting someones feeli
