This is so that other companies cannot make a product and, in fact,

32、 be buying something different. Businesses register a company or a product name with the government. In fact, more than 1,000 product and company names are registered every hour.

49、6.When it comes to favorite types of books, Chinese readers love literature most, followed by lifestyle, history and psychology.

55、 on the smartphonesCtalk about the basic situation of Chinese reading in 2017Dprove Chinese love reading better than people in any other country in 2017F18、“How 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 u

56、nusual 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?” isnt really a question and “Fine” isnt really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”.Sometimes, people also dont say e

57、xactly 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 polite 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

58、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 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 migh

59、t 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 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 to hear “_”.AHow are you
