had successfully held the Olympics, such as England, France, Germany, Canada, the U.S.A., Spain and
Australia. After more than a hundred years, the Games returned to its hometown in the year of 2004.
When a country hosted the Olympic Games, they always made an emblem (会徽). The emblem of the
Athens 2004 Olympic Games was a white circle of olive branches (橄榄枝) in the sky.
In 2008, Beijing will host the Olympics. Its emblem is "Jing". It means the capital of China and it is also
like a runner or dancer. The running figure (人形) of the emblem shows the spirit (精神) of the Olympics:

__________________________________________ | | 阅读理解。 | "How are you?" is a nice question. It"s a friendly waythat people in the USA greet each other. But "How
are you" is also a very unusual question. It"s a question that doesn"t need an answer. The person who asks
"How are you" hopes to hear the 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 may think, "No, I disagree. I think you are 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. For example,many talks over the phone finish when
one person says, "I"ve to go now." Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse. "Someone is
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 nicer each other, and it"s a part of the game
of language. | | 1. When a person in America asks "How are you", he or she wants to hear "______". | | [ ] | A. How are you.

sometimes pat each other on the back. | | Japan | When people meet for the first time, they usually bow. In business, people also
shake hands.In formal situations, people often exchange business cards. When
you give a business card, give it with two hands. This is polite.Special note: In
Japan, a smile can have different meanings. It usually means that the person is
happy, or that the person thinks something is funny. But it can also mean that
the person is embarrassed. | | New Zealand | Usually, both men and women shake hands when they meet someone for the
first time.
Fun fact: If you see two people pressing their noses together, they are probably
Maori. The Maori are the native (当地的) people of New Zealand. This is their
traditional greeting. | | Brazil | Men often shake hands when they meet for the first time.
When women meet, they kiss each other on the cheek. Women also kiss male
friends to say hello.
