　　“How are you?” is a nice question. It's a ___1___ way that people in the United States ___2__ each other. But “How are you?” is also a very _ ___3___ question. It's a question that often ___4___ have an answer.

They are ___7__ other way of saying “Hello” and“___8___”.

　　Sometimes, people also don't say just what they ___9___ For example, when someone asks “Do you agree?” the other person ___10____ be thinking, “No, I don't agree. I think you're wrong. ” But it isn't very ___11___ to say so, so the other person might say, “I'm not so ___12___” It's a nice way to say that you don't agree with someone.

　　

　　People ___13___ don't say just what they are thinking when they ___14___ talking with other people.

Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn't want to talk ____18___, but it isn't very polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn't ___19___ the other person's feelings.

　　

　　When they meet each other, talk about an idea, or end a talk, people often don't ___20___ just what they are thinking. It's an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it's all part of the game of language!

The first Olympic Games at Olympia were held in 776 B. C. They were held  1  four years from 776 B. C. to 393 A. D. In ancient  2  , games were closely  3  to the worship(尊敬)of the gods and heroes. They were also held as part of religious ceremonies(宗教仪式)to  4  dead heroes. But from the beginning, the games at Olympia served to   5  the Greek sense of national unity. So every four years over 1 100 years, thousands of  6  stopped all wars and  7  to a small sanctuary in northwestern Greece for five days in the late summer for  8  reason—to watch the Olympic Games. During that time,   9  from all over the Greek world competed in a number of  10  events and worshipped the gods at Olympia. The athletes competed not for  11  or material goods,   12  only for the honor of being Olympic visitors. Like our Olympics,   13  athletes were heroes who put their hometowns on the map. However,    14  our Olympics, only  15  who spoke Greek could compete, instead of athletes from any  16  and the games were  17  held at Olympia instead of moving around to different places every time.

The  18  Olympics had a rich variety of games. Many of these games are the ancestors of our modern Olympic Games and had  19  and playing conditions which modern athletes would be very  20  with. They include boxing, jumping, running, wrestling and so on.
