  a

  "how are you?" is a nice question. it's a friendly way that people in the united states greet each other. but "how are you?" is also a very unusual question. it's a question that often doesn't have an answer. the person who asks how are you? expects to hear the answer "fine", even if the person's friend isn't fine. the reason is that "how are you?" isn't really a question, and "fine" isn't really an answer. they are simply other ways of saying "hello and hi".

  people also don't 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 i've got to go now . often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse: someone s at the door. i've 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 doesn't want to talk any more, but it isn't very polite to say that. the excuse is more polite, and it doesn't hurt the other person's feeling.
