It’s a friendly way that people in the U.S.A greet each other. But “How are you?”is also a very unusual quest ion. 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 (只是) other ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”.Sometimes, people also don’t say exactly (确切的) what they mean. For example, when someone a sks “Do you agree(同意)?”, 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 say “I’ve to go now.” Often, the person who wants to hang up (挂断) 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 wan ts 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, of finishing a talk, people don’t say exactly that 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.56. When a person in America asks “How are you?” he or she wants to hear“____________”A. How are you?B. Hello.C. I d on’t know.D. Fine.57. When a person disagrees with someone, it is polite to say“”A. You are wrong. I disagree.B. I’m not sure.C. I’m sure I disagree.D. No, I disagree.58. 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.59. When a person says “I’ve to go now. Someone’s at the door.”, the person may be .A. giving an excuseB. hurting someon e’s feelingC. illD. asking you a question60. The rule (规则) of the game of language is probably .A. “Always say what you mean”B. “Don’t disagree with people”C. “Never say exactly what you’re thinking”D. “Be polite”BAmericans with small families own a small car or a large one. If both parents are working, they usually have two cars. When the family is large, one of the cars is sold and they will buy a van.A small car can hold four persons and a large car can hold six persons but it is very crowded.A van holds seven persons easily, so a family with three children can ask their grandparents to travel together.Mr. King and his wife had a third child last year. This made them sell a second car and buy a van. There are seven seats in the van, and two of them are used to put things on, for a family of five must carry many suitcases when they travel. When they arrive at their grandparents’ home, the suitcases are put into the two seats. And then they can carry their grandparents.Americans call vans motor homes. A motor home is always used for holidays. When a family are travelling to the mountains or to the seaside, they can live in their motor home for a few days or weeks. All the members of a big family can enjoy a happier life when they are travelling together. That is why motor homes have become very popular. In America there are many parks for motor homes.61.

They are part of a new addiction（瘾）called Internet addiction. Internet addicts spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week. The use of the Internet can be an addiction like drug (毒品) use. People lose control of the time they spend on the InternetFor example, one college student was missing (失踪) for several days. His friends were worried，and they called the police.
