American people like to say “Thank you” when others help them or say something kind to them. People of many countries do so,too. It is a very good habit.
You should say “Thank you” when someone passes you the salt on the table,when someone walking ahead of you keeps the door open for you,when someone says you have done your work well,or you have bought a nice thing,or your city is very beautiful. “Thank you” is used not only between friends,but also between parents and children,brothers and sisters.

It is surprising many everyday English that Americans use today come from the card game of poker.
For example,you hear them say like ace (王牌) in the hole. In poker and most card games,the ace is the highest and most useful card. It is often a winning card. In one kind of poker game,a player does not show this card to the other players. The players bet money each time they get another card. No one knows until the end of the game. Often,the ace in the hole wins the game.
Another everyday English,dealing off the bottom,now means “be not honest” in business. And when someone tells you that the cards are bad for you,maybe you really have a chance to win.
In a poker game you do not want to let your opponents (對手) know if your cards are good or bad. So having a poker face is important. A poker face never shows either good or bad feelings.
You can do a better job if you hold your cards close to your vest. You hold your cards close to you so no one can see what you have. In everyday speech,holding your cards close to your vest means not letting others know what you are doing or thinking. You are keeping your plans secret.
1. In card games,an ace is usually card.
A. the most useful B. the biggest
C. the oldest D. the most beautiful
2. If somebody says that you are dealing off the bottom,he may.
A. like you B. want to talk with you
C. be angry with you D. be very happy
3. In everyday speech,holding your cards close to your vest tells you
A. to put your clothes on the cards
B. to tell your friends your feelings
C. not to make others know your secret
D. not to tell others your address
4. What can we learn from the passage?
A. You will probably succeed if you have an ace in the hole.
B. Everybody will like you if you deal off the bottom.
C. A poker face never shows bad feelings except good ones.
D. The person who has a poker face will win the game at last.
