attention to (注意到) where he was going. He walked right under a ladder standing against (倚着) a
building. A black cat ran out of a door just at that moment, and Sam fell over it. His head hit the ladder.

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 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 say "I"ve to go now."Often,the person who wants to hang up gives and
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, 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.

| F1 is a very fast car race. It is one of the most popular sports in the world. The drivers go at over 300 kilometers an hour every race. But F1 cars didn"t always go so fast. In 1895, the first F1 race began in France. During that race, it took the drivers 48 hours to finish 580 kilometers. In 1901, the best drivers had an average (平均) speed of 100 kilometers an hour. Modern grand prix (奖品) F1 racing began in 1950 in Britain. Grand prix is French. It means "large prize". Today, 12 teams and 24 drivers race to get points. There are races at different tracks (路线) all over the world from March to October every year. There are also F2 and F3 racing. But the cars are slower and less high-tech. During a F1 race, drivers have to make several stops to change tyres(轮胎) and put more petrol in their cars. A team of people do these tasks together to make the stops short. Some people lift the car up, others change the tyres. While this team works on the tyres, another person puts petrol in the car and a different person cleans the driver"s helmet. One more person talks to the driver about how to win. It"s amazing that all those people finish it in just a few seconds! During 100-meter races, people count the athletes" speed by 1/100th (0. 01) of a second, for example 10.81 seconds. In the world of car racing, however, the race has to be timed to 1/1,000th(0. 001) of a second. That is 50 times faster than the time for a blink (眨眼). F1 cars look very colorful. First, cars of different teams have different colors. Then there are a lot of advertisements on the cars. | ||||
