问题        In China it is relatively usual to ask people their age, but in the West this question is generally regarded as impolite. This is particularly true 【C1】______ women, and even more 【C2】______ if the inquirer is a man.
     However, it is very 【C3】______ to ask children their age, and some adults may not mind 【C4】______ either. In fact, some elderly people are quite happy to 【C5】______ their age, especially if they feel they look young 【C6】______ their age. Nevertheless, it is not very wise to ask a(n) 【C7】______ question like" How old are you". If elderly people want to talk about their age, and perhaps receive a compliment on how young they look, they may easily 【C8】______ the topic themselves, and ask the other person to 【C9】______ how old they are. 【C10】______ such a question, it is quite acceptable to discuss age 【C11】______ . They normally expect to be complimented on their youthfulness, though rather than 【C12】______ that they look very old!
        【C13】______ Westerners do not usually ask people directly how old they are, this does not 【C14】______ that they are not interested in knowing how old other people are. They may ask someone else 【C15】______ the information, 【C16】______ they may try to 【C17】______ the topic indirect-ly. Sometimes discussions about educational 【C18】______ and the number of years of working ex- periences may provide some 【C19】______ , but this is not always the 【C20】______ . [br] 【C19】______
