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 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 so strongly, so the other person might say "I'm not sure. " It's a nicer way to say that you don't agree with someone. People also don't say exactly what they are thinking when they 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: "Someone's 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 doesn't want to talk any more, but it isn't polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn't hurt the other person. Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people don't say exactly what they are thinking. It's an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it's part of the game of language.

仔細(xì)閱讀下列短文, 根據(jù)題目, 選出最佳選項(xiàng). Nearly all our food comes from the soil. Some of us eat meat, of course, but animals live on plants. If there were no plants, we would have no animals and no meat. So the soil is very necessary for life. The top of the ground is usually covered with grass or other plants. There may be dead leaves and dead plants on the grass. The waste matter(糞) from animals also falls on it. All soil needs food. If we do not give it any, the plants will be weak. Farmers found that animals' waste is the best food for the soil, but chemical fertilizers(化肥) are also very useful. The same crop(莊稼) should not be grown in the same place every year. It's better to have a different crop. A change in crops and the use of a good fertilizer will keep the land good.
