（A）
“Good morning”,the easiest of daily greetings,is now out of style.
According to most manner experts,“good morning” is vanishing from our speech and taking good manners along with it.
Nowadays people are most likely to greet each other in the morning with a “Hi”,“Hey,” “ What’s up?” or “ How’s it going?” Certainly no one waits for answers to these greetings.
The loss of “Good morning” is the most visible example of the general decline in how we address each other.“How people talk to each other has declined,” said manner authority Letitia Baldrige.“We need to be warmer to each other.” Baldrige said she mourns the loss of “Good morning.”
“It’s the nicest,cheeriest,brightest thing to say.It makes people feel good,” she said.
“You are almost forced to smile with it.When you say ‘good morning’,your face is inclined to light up.”
Manner expert Judith Ri said there are a number of factors contributing to the loss of this greeting:a workplace that doesn’t encourage social interaction,neighborhoods that have abandoned community togetherness,and a home environment where parents are lazy in encouraging manners and where TV and computer games win out over gathering for the family dinner.
“We are simply not as formal as we used to be,” said Judith Ri with a sigh.
