Saying “thank you” is probably the first thing most of us learn to do in a foreign language. After all, we’re brought up to be polite, and it is important to make a good impression upon other people — especially across national divides.
So, what exactly are you supposed to say when “thank you” is only the 20th most popular way to express gratitude? According to a recent survey, 19 other ways of expressing appreciation finished ahead of “thank you” in a poll of 3,000 people.
Pollsters(民測調(diào)查員) found almost half of those asked preferred the more informal “cheers”, while others liked to use such expressions as “ta”, “great” and “nice one”.
So, just what is the appropriate form of words to express your thanks?
Fortunately, the clue is in the language itself. “Cheers”, despite its popularity, is considered an informal way to say thank you — and this is a definite clue as to when you can best use it.
For instance, when going for a drink with friends, a smile and a “cheers” by way of thanks is not only appropriate to the situation, it is also culturally accurate.
“Ta”, originated from the Danish word “tak”, was the second-most popular expression of thanks, and is also commonly used in informal situations, along with phrases such as “nice one”, and “brilliant”. Interestingly, one word that didn’t make it into the top 20 was “thanks”, Thank you is shorter, more informal cousin.
“Thanks” can be useful, as it is able to bridge the divide between the formality of “thank you” and the downright relaxed “cheers”.
Certain words can double as an expression of thanks as well as delight. Again, the words themselves offer the clue as to when best to use them.
For example, words like “awesome”, “brilliant” and “you star” featured highly in the new poll and they can hint at both your pleasure at someone’s action, as well as serving to express your thanks. If you are on the receiving end of a “new” thank you, you can respond with a simple “no problem”, or “sure”.
Of course, in certain circumstances, a simple wave, nod or smile may be appropriate. For instance, if a car driver slows down to let you cross the road, simply raising your hand in acknowledgement is enough to show that you appreciate the driver’s consideration.
Sometimes, formality is necessary, and “thank you” is still the best choice in such situations. But students should not worry about when exactly to use certain expressions.
Many people in Western countries are worried that good manners are in decline. People are tired of seeing their acts of kindness and service pass without comment. So don’t think your “thank you” is clumsy or awkwardly formal. The chances are, if you said “thank you”, you made someone’s day. You star.
【小題1】We can tell from the results of the poll that __________.

A．people are unconcerned about politeness nowadays.
B．“thank you” remains the best expression of gratitude.
C．there is a variety of expressions of appreciation.
D．there are more formal expressions than informal ones.
【小題2】According to the passage, which is an appropriate response to “awesome” or “brilliant”?
A．Thanks.B．Sure. C．Nice one.D．Cheers. .
【小題3】In the last paragraph the author encourages people to          .
A．show their gratitude to others.B．behave themselves well.
C．continue their acts of kindness.D．stop worrying about bad manners.
【小題4】Which of the following can serve as the best title of this passage?
A．How to Appear More Polite .B．Ways to Show Gratitude.

     The growing popularity of digital reading has encouraged best-selling young Chinese author Han Han to

     Ta De Guo (His Country), of which Han Han has finished only one tenth so far, will be available for paid
reading from December 1st on Qidian.com, the online library has announced.
     Han Han will update the story every day and finish the book before the end of the year. A printed edition
will only be produced after all of the content goes online, sources said.
     To read the entire book, readers will have to pay eight yuan, or 0.08 yuan per 1,000 words. This is almost
four times the price of an average writer on Qidian.com.
     Lu Jinbo, a well-known publisher, estimated that a popular writer like Han Han is likely to attract 20 million
subscribers. That means this high-school-dropout-turned popular author could bring in 160 million yuan, nearly

out the Light made him the 19th wealthiest author in 2007.
     Besides the potential to gain a large readership base, the Internet writers are being recognized professionally.
The jury (評委) of the Mao Dun Literature Prize, the most prestigious (有影響力的) honor for Chinese writers,
is considering adding a category for online writers.
