**这个时候就不要说"How are you?"或者"How are you doing?"了。问候多年不见的老同学适合用下面这句：

9. How have you been?

你一切都还好吧？

**再进一步聊聊：

10. What have you been up to?

最近在忙什么？

**问问工作上的事儿：

11. What are you doing these days?

你现在做什么工作？

12. Are you still at IBM?

你还在IBM上班吗？

**问候同学的家人：

13. How are your folks? Are they doing OK?

你家里人怎么样？都还好吧？

14. How old is Nathan now? Ten? Eleven?

你家楠楠现在多大了？10岁？11？
