"How are you?" is a nice question. It"s a friendly way that people in the USA 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 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 have 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 |

In many western schools, sports day is a big event. Children take part in competitive (竞争性的)
sports, trying to break school records and take the first place.
Sports days, or sports meets, are usually held in the warmer seasons, either at the beginning or the
end of the school year. They are also called field days.
Primary school sports days are fun. They usually have activities such as the egg and the spoon race
and the sack race. Other events include the skipping race (跳绳) and the three-legged race. In middle
and high schools, sports days include many of the common track and field events (田径项目). They
are more serious and competitive than primary school ones.
Students" parents and other relatives also come to the school on sports days. They watch children
play. Many schools in the West have "mothers and fathers" races for parents to take part in!
Although sports days are exciting, they also have some problems. According to some reports in the
USA, sports days have become too competitive to be good for students. Some parents put too much
pressure(压力) on the children. Some schools don"t have "mothers and fathers" races any more as there
is much fighting and cheating. |

When we don"t understand each other"s language, we talk with the help of signs.
A Frenchman was once traveling in England. He could not speak English at all. One day he went into
a restaurant and sat down at a table. When the waitress came, he opened his mouth, put his fingers into
it and took them out again. The waitress soon brought him a cup of tea. The man moved his head from
side to side. The waitress understood him and took away the tea. In a moment, she brought a cup of
coffeeand put it on the table. The man again moved his head from side to side. He moved his head from
side to side whenever the waitress brought him something to drink. She brought him a lot of different
drinks, but drinks are not food of course.
When the man was going away, another man came in. This man saw the waitress, and put his hand
on the stomach. That was enough. In a few minutes there was a large plate of meat and vegetables on the
table in front of him.
So you see, we can"t understand the language of signs so well as the language of words.

In the past, people used to travel to foreign countries because they thought they would be different in many ways - the buildings, the food, the national dresses and so on. At present, however, one large city is similar to another. They all have their Hilton or Sheraton Hotels everywhere. They all have their McDonald"s, their KFCs and their Pizza Huts. Office buildings look the same everywhere, and most city centers are full of office buildings. And of course, people are driving the same brands(品牌) of Japanese or European cars.
Then what is the foreign travel for? What do tourists hope to experience in a foreign country that they can not experience at home? The answer could be that people are very interested in the past. It is a
nation"s history and culture that are the main attractions. Most people travel overseas to find out what foreign countries history and cultures used to be like, not what they are like today. Tourists try to learn the
history and culture of foreign countries by visiting different kinds of museums.
Every country also has its own beautiful places for tourists to visit. Their own special scenery (风景) would certainly attract tourists from other countries.
Finally, there is perhaps a country"s attraction: its people. A country is not just its old buildings, its works of art(艺术品) or beautiful places, it"s also the people who live in it. This is why a country such as Thailand attracts millions of people. The tourists come mainly because of the friendliness (友好) of the people there. It is why the Pacific islands are also so popular. The friendly, smiling people make visitors feel welcome.
