Saving money gives you freedom (自由) .If you have enough savings,you may be able to give up your job.

  "How are you?" is a nice question. It's a friendly way that people in U. S. A. greet each other. But "How are you?" is also a very unusual question. It's a question that often doesn't need an answer. The person who asks "How are you?" hopes to hear the answer "Fine" even though the speaker isn't fine at all. The reason is that " How are you?" isn't really a question,and "Fine" isn't really an answer. They are simply the ways of saying "Hello" or "Hi".

  Sometimes people 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 speak out one's real thoughts so directly,so the person might say " Fm not sure"，which is a nicer way to say that you don't agree.

  People won't tell the truth when they want to finish talking with other people. For example,many talks over the phone finish when one person says "I've to go now."Often,the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse like "Someone's at the door, "or "Something is burning on the stove."What they say might not be true. They want to hang up simply because they don't want to talk any more,but it isn't polite to tell the truth. The excuse is more polite and it doesn't hurt the other person's feelings.

  Whether they are greeting each other,talking about an idea,or finishing a talk,people don't always say exactly what they are thinking. It's an important way to get along well with each other,and it's part of the game of a language.

(   ) 1. When a person in America asks "How are you?", he or she wants to hear

   A. How are you   B. Hello   C. I don't know   D. Fine

(   ) 2. When a person disagrees with someone,it is polite to say "      ."

   A. You are wrong   B. I'm not sure

   C. I'm sure I disagree   D. No,I disagree

(   ) 3. A polite way to finish a talk is to say "      ."

   A. You have to go now   B. I want to hang up

   C. I have to go now   D. I don't want to talk any more

(   ) 4. When a person say "I've to go now. Someone's at the door."，the person may be      

   A. giving an excuse   B. hurting someone's feeling  

     C. ill   D. asking you a question

(   ) 5. The rule of the game of a language is probably "          .”

   A. Always say what you mean

   B. Don't disagree with people

   C. Never say exactly what you're thinking
