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.

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.
