“How are you?” is a nice question .It is a friendly way that people in the United States greet each other.But “How are you?” is also a very unusual question.
It is 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 is not fine. The reason is that “How are you?” is not really a question and “fine ”isnot really an answer.They are simply other ways of saying “Hello”or “Hi”.
Sometimes people also do not say exactly what they mean. For example ,when someone asks “do you agree ?” the other person might think “No,I disagree,I think you are wrong…”But it is not very polite to disagree so strongly,so the other person might say “I am not sure.” It is a nicer way to say that you do not agree with someone.
People also do not say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example,many talks over the phone finish when one person says “ I have to go now.” The person who wants to hang up often 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 does not want to talk any more,but it is not polite to say that. The excuse is more polite,and it does not hurt the other person.
Wherther they are greeting each other,talking about an idea,or finishing a talk, people do not say exactly what they are thinking .It is an important way that people try to be nice to each other,and it is a part of the game of language.

Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a necessary 31 of the learning process. But too often as parents and teachers we deny this same right to our children. We convey(传达) 32 by words or by actions that failure is something to be ashamed of, that nothing but 33 performance pleases us.

At that time, Mary got a box 41 with pencils from the desk we shared. “Look, Jack ! I’ve got something to show you.” she said.“ See these pencils, they belong to Mrs. Green and me. See how the erasers are 42 ? That’s because we make mistakes too. But we erase the mistakes and try 43 . That’s what you must learn to do, too.” Jack looked up with 44 in his eyes---the first time I’d see on his face that year.
Jack gradually believe him that it’s all 45 to make mistakes – as long as you erase them and try again.
