Millions of British people have ditched the traditional “thank you” and took the place of it with the less formal “cheers”, according to a survey.
Although the common person will say “thank you” nearly 5,000 times a year, one in three are more likely to add a “cheers” or “ta” where it’s needed to show they are fashionable.
One in twenty now say “nice one” instead, while the younger are more likely to offer a “cool” than a “thank you”.
“Merci”, “fab” and even “gracias” were also listed as common phrases to use, as “much appreciated(感激)”.
One in twenty who took part in the survey of 2,000 people by the Food Network UK for Thank You Day, which is marked on November 24, 2011, said a formal “thank you” was now not often needed in everyday conversation. More than one in ten adults said they regularly won’t say thank you if they are in a bad mood. Most people stated that saying thank you was something that their parents trained them. A huge 70 percent of those questioned will say thank you to a person’s face without even meaning it, while one fifth avoid(避免)saying it when they know they should.
It seems our friends and family get the stress of our bad manners. Half of them admit (承认) they’re not good at thanking those closest to them. Many of them explain that they don’t say thank you because their family “already know I’m grateful”.
When spoken words won’t do, it falls to a nice text to do the job for most people.
One third will still send a handwritten thank-you note---but 45 percent admit it’s been more than six months since they tried to send one.
A quarter of British people say “thank you” with food, with 23 percent cooking a meal to show their appreciation to someone. Another 15 percent bake a cake.
It follows that 85 percent of people will be angry because of not getting the gratitude (感激)
they feel they should receive.

A．gave upB．usedC．sharedD．knew
小题3:It can be learned from the passage that _______.

The number of rural(乡村的) left-behind children under 17 years old has increased to 61.02 million, according to a report. These children’s parents leave them with their grandparents or other family members in order to make money in cities.
Sichuan Province and Henan Province have the highest percentage of rural left-behind children. Together with Anhui Province, Guangdong Province and Hunan Province, these five provinces have 43.64% of the country’s rural left-behind children, the report says.
The report finds that left-behind children are mainly in the central and western provinces. But the developed eastern areas also face similar problems, the report says. Guangdong Province has the most left-behind children, with 4.34 million, followed by Zhejiang Province, Jiangsu Province, Shanghai and Beijing.
“What I’m worried about most is the schooling of my child, as I have no time to help her with her homework.” Said An Baiyou, a truck driver from Shangdong Province, who has been leaving his 10-year-old daughter with his parents while driving trucks in other provinces. “However, to make money or to take care of the child, you can only choose one side.”
Wang Zhenyao, the president of Beijing Normal University Institue of Public Welfare, says that if the left-behind children problem can’t be solved, it will affect the nation’s future.
Compared with those who live with their parents, left-behind children need more care and protection. The country should think about ways to attract the rural workers in cities to return and work in their hometown to improve the development of these places.”
In addition, it is important to set up laws to protect the basic rights of young people, especially those with illnesses or only one parent.
