the British custom of 1 iningup for a bus that the first person who arrives at a bus stop is the firstperson to get on the bus.从此句可知那三位先生并不知道在英国乘车的习惯，所以答案是D。2.B o 这是一道细节题。答案在第二自然段的第二个句子。3.B o 同第二题一样，此题也是细节题。可在第二自然段直接找到答案。4.A o 单句理解题。最后一个自然段中有说：In Europe it is quite usualto cross your legs When you are sitting talking to someone even at animportant
