　　A third will still send a handwritten thank-you note — but 45 percent admit it’s been more than six months since they bothered to send one.

　　A quarter of British people say thank you with food, with 23 percent cooking a meal to show their appreciation to someone. Another 15 percent bake a cake.

　　A. Most people express their gratitude to others by buying food for them.

　　B. About fifty percent of people try not to say thank you when they should.
