Beginner Level 初级 (chūjí)
The right answer for this test is C.
Analysis:
A: When people are happy, they usually say something like: “我很高兴。(Wǒ hěn gāoxìng. ) I’m happy.”, “我非常高兴。(Wǒ fēicháng gāoxìng . ) I’m very happy.” “我是世界上最幸福的人。(Wǒ shì shìjiè shàng zuì xìngfú de rén. ) I’m the happiest in the world.” or “我高兴死了。(Wǒ gāoxìng sǐ le .) I’m walking on air.”
B: When people say goodbye to others, they simply say 再见 (zài jiàn), which means “Goodbye.” People also say 拜拜 (bài bài), an expression which comes from English and mimics the pronunciation of the English words “Bye-Bye.”
C: In the past, Chinese people often had very little food, so they were concerned with how much their friends and neighbors had to eat. When meeting someone, they showed their concern by asking the question, “Have you eaten yet?”. Little by little, it became a habit to greet people this way and the habit has remained to this day. In addition, there’s also an old saying in China that say “民以食为天。(Mín yǐ shí wéi tiān.) Food is the first necessity of the people”. Thus, people are used to talking about food as a way to greet each other. It’s quite similar to how British people prefer to talk about the weather when they meet.
