2015年英语四级答案

For instance，when going for a drink with friends，a smile and a“cheers”by way of thanks is not only appropriate to the situation，it is also culturally accurate.

“Ta”，originated from the Danish word“tak”, was the second-most popular expression of thanks，and is also commonly used in informal situations，along with phrases such as“nice one”， and“brilliant”.Interestingly, one word that didn’t make it into the top 20 was“thanks”.Thank you's shorter, more informal cousin.

“Thanks”can be useful，as it is able to bridge the divide between the formality of “thank you" and the downright relaxed“cheers”.

Certain words can double as an expression of thanks as well as delight.Again，the words themselves offer the clue as to when best to use them.

For example，words like“awesome”，“brilliant" and“you star" featured highly in the new poll and they can hint at both your pleasure at someone's action，as well as serving to expreyour thanks.If you are on the receiving end of a“new”thank you，you can respond with a si-mp-le“no problem”, or“sure”.

Of course，in certain circumstances，a si-mp-le wave，nod or smile may be appropriate.For instance，if a car driver slows down to let you crothe road，simply raising your hand in acknowledgement is enough to show that you appreciate the driver's consideration.

Sometimes，formality is necessary, and“thank you”is still the best choice in such situations.

But students should not worry about when exactly to use certain expressions.

Many people in Western countries are worried that good manners are in decline.People are

tired of seeing their acts of kindneand service pawithout comment.So don’t think that your

“thank you”was clumsy or awkwardly formal.The chances are，if you said “thank you”，you

made someone’s day.You star.

A.people are unconcerned about politenenowadays.
