听第10段材料，回答第18～20题。

　　This topic is about greeting in China．A few years ago, people would greet each other with the words “Have you had your breakfast or lunch or supper?” “Yes, how about you?” Then politely, both would leave with a smile on their faces．

　　This kind of greeting tells us what people cared about many years ago．For many years, having enough to eat was the most important thing for the Chinese people．The life of most people in China has become much better now．They do not worry about their food and clothing any more．The greeting has changed to “What are you going to do?” or “Where are you going?”

　　Though the greeting has no other meaning than saying hello, it often puzzles other people who are not familiar with China．Nowadays, more and more people are using “How are you?” to greet each other．It is certainly the best way for people to say hello to each other．

18．What did people mostly care about many years ago?

A．Are you full or hungry?

B．Where are you going?

C．Good manners．

19．What does the change of greetings in China show?

A．People are less polite to each other．

B．People have bad manners now．

C．People’s life is better．

20．Which is the best way for people to say hello to each other?

A．How do you do?

B．How are you?

C．Good morning．

　　M：Well, it depends．If you come for a private instructor like me, it’s probably going to be a bit less expensive than going to a big school．The thing is, people have usually heard of the big school and trust them．Well, I get customers through personal connections．

　　W：Does that mean you have to try harder to get customers??

　　M：Not now, when I started I have to．But at the moment I am fully booked and my prices are quite competitive．

　　W：Learning to drive is usually a nervous experience for beginners．What do you think?

　　M：Well, it can be．But I try to get them to sit quietly in the drive’s seat for a few moments．With their eyes closed, you will be surprised how it changed some people．They fell much more ready for driving if they had a few quiet moments．

　　W：Yes, I suppose some people are much more nervous than others．

　　My wife and I go to the theater whenever we can．But before we buy tickets, we like to know if the play is good or bad．When a new play opens．We usually read the newspaper to get information about it．Last week a new play opened at the theater．The newspaper story said it was very interesting so we decided to go on Saturday night．

　　My wife took a long time to make up her mind what to wear and we left our house a little late．By the time we got to the theater, the first act had already begun．We were sorry we missed part of the play, because the rest of it was very funny．The newspaper had been right．It was very good．

　　After the play was over, we met some friends we hadn’t seen for a long time．They wanted to go to a night club．It had been many years since my wife and I had gone dancing, but I finally agreed．By the time we got home, it was about two o’clock in the morning．I’m got used to staying out so late and I was extremely tired．

　　When I was younger．I didn’t have the money to go out for an evening like this．Now I can afford it．I don’t have the energy to really enjoy it．
