题目内容
5.One of the special features of English people is self-discipline (自律).Generally,English people are polite and always want to please others.On the other hand,they don't like to show their emotions,even in dangerous situations.Imagine the scene!Some English people are caught in a violent storm in the forest.Anybody else would be anxious to run away.The English would just try to hide their emotions.Not a sign of fear would be seen on their faces.We often hear of the English"reserve"(矜持).On a long railway journey,with four Englishmen sitting together,often there won't be a single word spoken during the whole journey.The English think it is a bad manner to ask personal questions.That wouldn't be the case in America.In a short ride in New York,a taxi driver will tell you about himself,his wife and his family,and probably the towns of England he has visited,too.
The English value privacy (隐私) very much.An Englishman's house usually has a small garden with a fence all around to separate it from the neighbors'.An Englishman's house is his castle.
Finally,we have to refer to the most special feature of the Scottish (苏格兰的) people-the Scottish dress.Scotland is probably best known to the world for its traditional costume-the kilt.This short,skirt-like piece of clothing is worn by men.
The kilt is made of a special type of colorful cloth called tartan,which is very special in Scotland.
