afternoon. But ever since I heard my student Sam"s story, I"ve begun thinking about whether it was true.
This afternoon, Sam was walking down the street thinking about something, so he wasn"t paying
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.
