But How are you? is also a very unusual question. Its a question that often doesnt have an answer. The person who asks How are you? expects to hear the answer Fine, even if the persons friend isnt fine. The reason is that How are you? isnt really a question, and Fine isnt really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying Hello and Hi.People also dont say exactly what they are thinking when they finish conversations with other people.For example, many conversations over the phone end when one person says Ive got to go now . Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse: Someone s at the door. Ive got to put the groceries(食品、杂货) away. Something is burning on the stove (炉子). The excuse might be real, or it might not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesnt want to talk any more, but it isnt very polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesnt hurt the other persons feeling.49. A for B as G to D toward50. A of their B for their own C for theirs D for their owns51.

In fact, says David Dinges, a sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. Theres even a prohibition against admitting we need sleep. Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work. To quote a proverb: Some sleep five hours, nature requires seven, laziness nine and wickedness eleven.Wrong. The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them. We have to totally change our attitude toward napping, says Dr. William Dement of Stanford University, the godfather of sleep research.Last year a national commission led by Dement identified an American sleep debt which onemember said was as important as the national debt. The commission was concerned about the dangers of sleepiness: people causing industrial accidents or falling asleep while driving. This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House. According to recent reports, president Clinton is trying to take a half hour snooze (-JB-SS) every afternoon.About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity. We seem to have amidafternoon quiet phase also called a secondary sleep gate. Sleeping minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed. Clearly, we were born to nap. We superstars of snooze don t nap to replace lost shut-eye or to prepare for a night shift. Rather, we snack on sleep, whenever, wherever and at whatever time we feel like it. I myself have napped in buses, cars, planes and on boats; on floors and beds; and in libraries, offices and museums.68.
