27.
"How
are
you?"
is
a
nice
question.
It
is
a
friendly
way
that
people
in
the
USA
greet（问候）each
other.
But
"How
are
you?"
is
also
an
unusual
question.
______
The
person
who
asks
"How
are
you?"
hopes
to
hear
the
answer
"Fine"
even
if
the
person's
friend
isn't
fine,
because
"How
are
you?"
isn't
really
a
question
and
"Fine"
isn't
really
an
answer.
It's
simply
another
way
of
saying
"Hello"
or
"Hi".Sometimes,
people
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..."
______
So
the
other
person
might
say
"I'm
not
sure."
It's
a
nicer
way
to
say
that
you
don't
agree
with
someone.______
For
example,
many
talks
on
the
phone
finish
when
one
person
say
"I've
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."
______
Perhaps
he
or
she
simply
doesn't
want
to
talk
anymore,
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.
______
And
it
is
also
part
of
the
game
of
language.
A.But
it
isn't
very
polite
to
disagree
so
strongly.
B.It
is
an
important
way
that
people
try
to
be
polite
to
each
other.
C.People
also
don't
say
exactly
what
they
are
thinking.
D.It
is
a
question
that
often
doesn't
need
an
answer.
E.This
will
help
you
communicate
better
with
other
people.
F.The
excuses
might
be
real,
or
not.
阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项只能用一次。

Most
English
people
have
three
names:
the
first
name,
the
middle
name
and
the
family
name.
______
For
example,
my
full
name
is
Jim
Alan
Green.
Green
is
my
family
name.
My
parents
give
me
both
of
my
other
names.
______
So
"John
Henry
Brown"
is
usually
called
"John
Brown".
You
can
also
say
Mr.
Brown,
but
you
should
never
say
Mr.
John.
They
use
Mr.
Mrs.
or
Miss
before
their
family
names.
______
Sometimes
(有时)
people
ask
me
about
my
name.
"When
were
you
born?
______
Why
did
they
choose
that
name
for
you?"
The
answer
is
that
my
name
is
not
Jim.
My
name
is
James.
In
England,
people
usually
call
me
Jim
for
short.
______
That's
because
it
is
shorter
and
easier
than
James.
A.Why
do
they
call
me
Jim?
B.But
they
never
use
Mr.
Mrs.
or
Miss
with
their
first
names.
C.Why
do
your
parents
call
you
Jim?
D.Their
family
names
come
last.
E.People

use
their
middle
names

much.
