2.It is polite to express your gratitude.That's not up for debate.But do you know how to respond when being thanked?
Many people,particularly in the US,reply to"thank you"with"you're welcome".However,this has begun to change.According to the Buzzfeed website,young people use and hear"you're welcome"sarcastically(讽刺的).And it's not just young people.To people from other parts of the world,"you're welcome"can sound rude.
Britons,for example,can't help but feel condescension(降低身份) when they hear it.The phrase is short for"you're welcome to my help"."you're welcome"can sound like you're taking the polite comment from thanker,and bringing attention to your kindness,"Buzzfeed noted."To some,it can sound like‘I did you a favor,you should be thankful'."
Similarly,there are problems with"no problem"and"no worries".To those not used to hearing them,they can sound"as though their gesture of appreciation was taken as an apology for bothering you",said The Huffington Post.
In fact,today many young people tend to respond to being thanked with"no problem",which older people find rude.Yet it is not just a generation probelm,but also a linguistic(语言学的) one.
Both"you're welcome"and"no problem"are phatic(寒暄的) expressions.Often English speakers use a phatic response when they don't know what else to say.They may say"I'm OK,"for example,even when they are not.They know people aren't usually asking how they are,so they answer phatically.But"because‘thank you'is a sincere expression,many common phatic responses sound empty compared to it",Buzzfeed noted.
So what is the appropriate reply?Buzzfeed gives an answer.Just reply to"thank you"by saying"thank you"back."This response is still phatic,but it can't be misunderstood,"said the website.
25.It can be inferred from the artical that in the USD.
A.there is no gratitude in"you're welcome"any more.
B.older people don't use"you're welcome"as often as young people.
C.professional people often use"you're welcome"as it can sound polite to them.
D.now many young people don't use"you're welcome"when replying to"thank you"
26.English speakers would say"I'm OK"even they're not becauseD
A.they don't want people to worry about them.
B.they think other expressions sound empty.
C.they are unwilling to tell others the truth.
D.they know people aren't usually asking how they are
27.What is the appropriate reply to"thank you"according to Buzzfeed?D
A.You're welcome    B.No probelm     C.No worries      D.Thank you
28.What is the text mainly about?D
A.How to show grautitude to people
B.How to respond to"thank you"
C.Some common phatic expressions in English
D.Problems with some expressions used to reply to"thank you"
