American people like to say “Thank you” when other help them or say something kind to them.

You should say “Thank you” when someone passes you the salt on the table, when someone walking ahead of you keeps the door open for you, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful. “Thank you” is used not only between friends, but also between parents and children, brothers and sisters.
“Excuse me” is another short sentence they use. When you hear someone says so behind you, you know that somebody wants to walk past you without touching you. It’s not polite to break others when they are talking. If you want to speak to some of them, say “Excuse me” first, and then begin talking. You should also do so when you begin to cough or make any noise before others.

【1题分析】
细节理解题。根据“American people like to say ‘Thank you’ when other help them or say something kind to them.”可知，当别人帮助他们或对他们说一些友好的话时，美国人喜欢说“谢谢”。由此可知，当有人帮助你时，你要说“谢谢”。故选C。

【3题分析】
推理判断题。根据“If you want to speak to some of them, say ‘Excuse me’ first, and then begin talking.”可知，如果你想和他们中的一些人说话，先说“不好意思，打扰了”，然后再开始说话。由此可知，当你要请别人给你指路时，是去打扰别人，因此应该说“Excuse me”。故选C。
【4题分析】
主旨大意题。根据“You should say ‘Thank you’ when someone passes you the salt on the table”可知，当有人把桌上的盐递给你时，你应该说“Thank you”。根据“‘Excuse me’ is another short sentence they use”可知，“Excuse me”是他们使用的另一个短句。由文中所给的例子可推测，本文主要告诉大家礼貌的方式。故选B。

American people like to say “Thank you” when other help them or say something kind to them.
People of many countries do so, too. It is a very good habit.
You should say “Thank you” when someone passes you the salt on the table, when someone walking ahead of you keeps the door open for you, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful. “Thank you” is used not only between friends, but also between parents and children, brothers and sisters.
“Excuse me” is another short sentence they use. When you hear someone says so behind you, you know that somebody wants to walk past you without touching you. It’s not polite to break others when they are talking. If you want to speak to some of them, say “Excuse me” first, and then begin talking.
