American people have the habit of saying “Thank you” when something kind is done for them or something polite is said to them, no matter how easy the thing is. This habit is learned by people of many　 46　 countries.

　 You should say “Thank you” when someone　 47　 you the salt on the table, when someone steps aside to let you　 48　 in a corridor (走廊), when someone　 49　 ahead of you keeps the door open　 50　 you, when someone says your work is well　 51　 or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful. “Thank you” is　 52　 not only between strangers or new friends, but also between old friends, parents and children, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives. Parents often tell　 53　 children that they should say “Thank you” in answering to a kind word or act when they are only four　 54　 five years old. Perhaps that’s 　 55　 almost everyone has got this habit.
