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 1 __________women, and even more 2__________ if the inquirer is a man.

　　However, it is very 3 __________to ask children their age，and some adults may not mind 4__________ either. In fact，some elderly people are quite happy to 5__________ their age，especially if they feel they look young 6__________ their age. Nevertheless，it is not very wise to ask a(n) 7 __________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 8__________ the topic themselves，and ask the other person to 9__________ how old they are. 10__________ such a question，it is quite acceptable to discuss age 11 __________. They normally expect to be complimented on their youthfulness，though rather than 12 __________that they look very old!

　　13 __________Westerners do not usually ask people directly how old they are，this does not 14__________ that they are interested to know how old other people are. They may ask someone else 15__________ the information, 16__________ they may try to 17__________ the topic indirectly.
