   “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.

     Remember last year's summer vacation? When you think back on it, you might see flashes of a day you
  spent swimming or a night watching stars. But how do you store these images (图像), so you can enjoy
 them later? By using your memory.
     When something happens, your brain (脑) decides if the information is important. If it is, your brain
 saves it and puts it in your memory. You have a short-term memory and a long-term memory. You also
 have a memory for images and for sounds.
     What scientists agree about is that people remember things in different ways. Some remember things
 better with the help of pictures. Others remember better when they take in the information by hearing it.
 But if you can use both when you study, you will have an advantage. So why not try pictures with English
 words, and at the same time listen to recordings of the same words? Maybe studying English will no
 longer be such a headache.
     Scientists say that imagination (想象) and association (联想) help us remember. Imagination means
 picturing a word in your mind. Association means relating (联系) words to things you know.
1. When something happens or you meet someone, your brain first _____.
    A. saves it and puts it in your memory
    B. stores these images for you to enjoy later
    C. decides if the information is important
    D. turns the information into flashes
2. We know from this article that scientists agree that _____.
     A. people have a short-term memory and a long-term memory
     B. people have images for memory and sound
    C. people remember things in the same ways
    D. imagination and association may help people remember
3. The writer suggests that you should look at pictures with English words while _____.
    A. listening to recordings of the same ones
    B. reading the same words aloud
    C. writing the same words quickly
    D. using your imagination widely
