问题     In China, when you meet a friend in the street, you would say, "Where are you going? "or" Have you eaten yet? "But in England people don’t do that. In fact, if you ask an English person these questions, he might think that is his business, not yours. And the common saying "Mind your own business. "will come naturally to his mind．
    Now what do people say in England when they meet? They generally talk about the weather. They might say, "Lovely weather, isn’t it? "or "It is a bit colder than yesterday, isn’t it? "On another day they might look up at the sky and say, "Look like rain, doesn’t it? "or" Terrible weather!" or all sorts of things like that．
    You may wonder why everybody talks about the weather in England. The reason is very simple: Britain is a very small island country, and in a country like that the weather changes very often and very quickly. Even on a sunny day many people go out and carry an umbrella or raincoat with them. "Just to be on the safe side, "they say．
In China, when people meet their friends in the street, they usually ask "Where are you going? "because______.
选项 A、it is necessary for them to know where their friends go
B、that is a way to show their politeness
C、they are interested in other people’s business
D、they care for their friends
答案B
