五、阅读理解。（2025·江苏徐州期中）
“How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way that people in the USA greet each other. But when a person(人) says “How are you?”, he hopes to hear the answer “Fine.” even if(即使) 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 common(常见的) ways of saying “Hello” and “Hi”.
Sometimes people also don’t say exactly(确切地) what they mean. For example, when someone asks “Do you agree?”, the other person may be thinking, “No, I don’t agree. I think you are wrong.” But it isn’t very polite, so they may say, “I’m not so sure.” It’s a nice way to say that you don’t agree with someone.
It’s interesting when people want to finish talking. For example, when a person wants to finish talking with the other person on the phone, he may say “I have to go now.” Sometimes he gives an excuse(借口). For example, “Someone is knocking at the door.” The excuse may be real, or it may not be. It’s a polite way to finish talking and it doesn’t hurt the other person’s feelings.
People don’t always say exactly what they are thinking. And it’s a part of the language game.
