　　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?
