三、阅读理解
“How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way that people in the United States greet each other. But “How are you?” is also a very unusual question. It’s a question that often doesn’t have an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” hopes to hear the answer “Fine.”, even if the person’s friend isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine.” isn’t really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying “Hello!” or “Hi!”.
Sometimes, people also don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks, “Do you agree?”, the other person might think, “No, I disagree. I think you’re wrong.” But it isn’t very polite to disagree strongly, so the other person might say “I’m not sure...”. It’s a nice way to say that you don’t agree with someone.
People also don’t say exactly what they think when they finish talking with other people. For example, if someone wants to end up a talk on the phone, he can give an excuse like “I have to go now.” or “Someone is at the door.” The excuse might be real, or not. Sometimes the excuse is more polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other person.
It’s important for people to try to be polite to each other, and it’s also a part of the game of language.
