Each time we receive help from others, we say “Thank you”. We may say it many times a day. It seems that “Thank you” is very popular among us Chinese students. But is it as popular in the UK?The answer is “no”. According to a recent survey （最近的报告）in the Daily Telegraph newspaper, “Thank you” is only the 20th most popular way of expressing gratitude（感激） in the UK.The survey shows that British people like “Cheers” most to express their thanks. For example, when friends invite each other for a drink after a game, a smile and a “Cheers” may be the best way to say “thanks”.You may often hear the word spoken between two good friends. “Great”, “nice one” and “all right” are also popular informal（不正式的） ways of showing gratitude among friends in the UK.Of course, there are some formal ways to say “thanks” among British people. For example, when a stranger is especially helpful, they may say “brilliant” or “much appreciated” to express their gratitude.By the way, how do British people usually answer “thank you”? They like to say： “ Youre welcome.”, “No problem” or “Sure”.Since you have many more ways to show your thanks, next time you want to say “thank you”, why not try one of these new British phrases?Phrases usingWhen British people say these _ of “thank you”CheersPeople invite one _ for a drink after a game._.Nice one.All right.Informal ways among friends.Brilliant.Much appreciated.Formal ways to a stranger who you do him a _Youre welcome.No problem._How do British people answer “thank you”.四、 补全对话 (共1题；共5分)22. （5分）口语应用。阅读下面对话，从方框内7个选项中选择5个恰当的句子完成此对话。A.I am so sorry for my mistake .B.No , I didnt .C.When should I say sorry to her ?D.Is it very difficult to say sorry to others?E.Whats the matter ?F.But I am OK .G.No , not yet .A: Hello , Bob !_You look sad .B: I lost my sisters favorite book and she cried _A: Have you apologized（道歉）to her ?B: _ I am afraid she will not forgive（原谅）me .A: An apology says we are sorry for out mistakes .
