19、ationalities, including their closest neighbors, the French, the Belgians and the Dutch. It is claimed that living on an island separated from the rest of Europe has much to do with it. Whatever the reasons are, it may be fairly stated that the Englishman has developed many attitudes and habits whic

20、h distinguish him from other nationalities.Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a quiet, shy, reserved person who is fully relaxed only among people he knows well. In the presence of strangers or foreigners he often seems restrained, even embarrassed. You have only to witness a city train any morning

21、 or evening to see the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or having a light sleep in a corner, and no one speaks. In fact, to do so would seem most unusual. An Englishman, pretending to be giving advice to overseas visitors, once suggested, “On entering

22、 a railway carriage, shake hands with all the passengers.” Needless to say, he was not being serious. There is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior which, if broken, makes the person immediately suspected.In many parts of the world it is quite normal to show openly extremes of enthus

23、iasm, emotion, excitement, etc, often accompanied by appropriate gesture. The Englishman is somewhat different. Of course, an Englishman feels no less deeply than anyone of a different nationality, but he tends to display his feelings far less. This is reflected in his use of language. Imagine a man

24、 commenting on the great beauty of a young girl. A more emotional man might describe her state “Oh, she is a goddess”, whereas an Englishman might just say “Oh, shes all right.” An Englishman who has seen a highly successful and enjoyable film recommends it to a friend by commenting, “Its not bad yo

25、u know”, or on seeing some very unusual scenery he might convey (表达) his pleasure by saying, “Nice, yes, very nice.” The overseas visitor must not be disappointed by this apparent lack of interest and involvement. Instead, he must realize that “all right,” “not bad,” and “nice,” very often have the

26、sense of “first-class,” “excellent,” “beautiful”. This unique style of language use is particularly common in England, and is known as restrained statement.41. According to the passage, the English are different from other nationalities in _. A. habits B. attitudes C. character D. all of the above42

27、. The underlined word “restrained” in the second paragraph probably means “ ”. A. calm and controlled B. polite and friendly C. nervous and quiet D. silent and kind43. In Britain, if you dont want other people to think you are strange, youd better _. A. talk with others as much as possible B. behave

28、 just like the English doC. say nothing about yourself D. shake hands with everyone you meet 44. If an Englishman says “all right”, it may mean “_”. A. not bad B. correct C. quite right D. wonderful45. From the passage, we can infer that an Englishman _. A. doesnt like to show his feelings so muchB.

29、 has less emotion than people of other nationalitiesC. finds it easy to express his emotion D. likes to have a joke with strangersBDown-to-earth means being honest, open, and easy to deal with. It is a pleasure to find someone who is down-to-earth. A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to. H

30、e or she accepts others as equals. A down-to-earth person may be an important member of society, of course, but they do not let their importance go to their heads, and they do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important. Someone who is filled with self-importance and prid

31、e, often without cause, is said to have his nose in the air. There is no way a person with his nose in the air can be down-to-earth.Americans use another expression that is similar in some way to down-to-earth. The expression is both feet on the ground. Someone with both feet on the ground is a pers

32、on with a good understanding of reality. He has what is called common sense. He may have dreams but he does not allow them to block his knowledge of what is real. The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. A man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in th

33、e world. Sometimes such a dreamer can be brought back to reality; sharp words from the teacher, for example, can usually get a daydreaming student to put both feet back on the ground.The person who is down-to-earth usually has both feet on the ground. But the opposite is not always true. Someone wit

34、h both feet on the ground may not be as open and easy to deal with as someone who is down-to-earth. When we have both our feet firmly on the ground, we are realistic and we act honestly and openly toward others, and our lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong.46. If a person has his nos

35、e in the air, he _. A. is down to the earth B. is easy to deal with C. always thinks he is more important than others D. is confident47. If a person has both feet on the ground, he _. A. is in touch with reality, and doesnt have any dreamsB. has some dreams but he is realisticC. is honest, open and

36、easy to deal withD. is honest, open but hard to deal with48. From the second paragraph, we know that sharp words from a teacher can usually _. A. help a student get down to the earth B. wake a student upC. help a daydreaming student come down to the ground D. help a daydreaming student to become mor

37、e realistic49. The underlined sentence “But the opposite is not always true.” most probably means that _.A. the person who has his nose in the air is not trueB. a man with his head in the clouds is often not intelligentC. the opposite direction is always wrongD. a person who has both feet on the gro

38、und may not be down-to-earth50. From the passage, we can infer the person who is _ is the most popular kind of person.A. down-to-earth B. standing on the groundC. with his nose in the air D. with his head in the cloudsC From their beginnings New England towns had a special democratic system of gover

39、nment. At a stated time all the citizens would assemble at a town meeting, where they would discuss local problems and express opinions freely. They also elected the towns officials at these gatherings and made decisions about the taxes they would pay and about other community matters. These meeting

40、s were usually held at the town hall, which was located in the central square.In the eighteenth-century town meetings, only men who owned property and who were church members actually voted, although everyone present was allowed to express their opinions.

41、us the town meeting became truly democratic. Town meetings are still common in New England communities.In recent years the town meeting idea has been widely imitated.
