After I was married and had lived in Japan for while, my Japanese gradually improved to the point where I could take part in simple conversations with my husband and his friends and family. And I began to notice that often, when I joined in, the others would look surprised, and the conversational topic would e to a stop. After this happened several times, it became clear to me that I was doing something wrong. But for a long time, I didn39。t know what it was. Finally, after listening carefully to many Japanese conversations, I discovered what my problem was. Even though I was speaking Japanese, I was handling the conversation in a Western way. A Westernstyle conversation between two people is like a game of tennis. If I introduce a topic, a conversational ball, I expect you to hit it back. If you agree with me, I don39。t expect you simply to agree and do nothing more. I expect you to add somethinga reason for agreeing, another example, or a detailed explanation to carry the idea further. But I don39。t expect you always to agree. I am just as happy if you question me, or challenge me, or pletely disagree with me. Whether you agree or disagree, your response will return the ball to me. A Japanesestyle conversation, however, is not at all like tennis or volleyball. It39。s like bowling. You wait for your turn. And you always know your place in line. It depends on such things as whether you are older or younger, a close friend or a relative stranger to the previous speaker, in a senior or junior position, and so on. When your turn es, you step up to the starting line with your bowling ball and carefully bowl it. Everyone else stands back and watches politely, murmuring encouragement. Everyone waits until the ball has reached the end of the alley（球場）and watches to see if it knocks down all the pins, or only some of them, or none of them. There is a pause, while everyone registers your score. Then, after everyone is sure that you have pletely finished your turn, the next person in line steps up to the same starting line, with a different ball. He doesn39。t return your ball, and he does not begin from where your ball stopped. And there is always a suitable pause between turns. There is no rush, no scramble for the ball. If you have been trained all your life to play one game, it is no simple matter to switch to another, even if you know the rules. Knowing the rules is not at all the same thing as playing the game.（1）The author makes all of the following arguments EXCEPT that _____.
