It's really true what people say about English politeness: it's every?where. When squeezing (挤)past someone in a narrow aisle (通道)，people say "sorry". When getting off a bus, English passengers say "thank you" rather than the driver. In Germany, people would never dream of doing these things.

After all, squeezing past others sometimes can't be avoided and the bus driver is merely doing his job. I used to think the same way, without ques?tioning it, until I started travelling to the British Isles and came to appreci?ate some more polite ways of communicating with people.

People thank each other everywhere in England, all the time. When people buy something in a shop, customers and retail assistants in most ca?ses thank each other twice or more. In Germany, it would be exceptional to hear more than one "thank you" in such a conversation. British students thank their lecturers when leaving the room. English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs, as opposed to Germans, who would normal?ly think that paying their workers money is already enough.

Another thing I observed during my stay was that English people rarely criticize others. Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me, my employers stressed several times but none, of their explanations were intended as criticism. It has been my impression that by avoiding criti?cism, English people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable. This also is shown in other ways. British men still open doors for women, and British men are more likely to treat women to meals than German men. However, I do need to point out here that this applies to English men a bit more than it would to Scottish men. Yes, the latter are a bit tight-fisted.

8. What is the author's attitude towards English politeness?

A. He appreciates it. B. He gives no personal opinion.

C. He thinks it is just an act. D. He thinks it goes too far.

9. What can we learn about customers and retail assistants in Germany?

A. It's always retail assistants who say thank you.

B. Customers never say thank you to retail assistants.

C. They always say thank you to each other.

D. They may say thank you only once.

10. We can learn from the last paragraph that Scottish men___ .

A. are more likely to be involved in a fight ！

B. are not so willing to spend money for women

C. are more polite than English men

D. treat women in a polite way

11. The author develops the text through the method of____ .

A. giving comments B. telling stories

C. making comparisons D. giving reasons

There are many kinds of friends. Some are always 1 you,but don't understand you. Some say only a few words to you,but understand you. Many people will step in your life,but only 2 friends leave footprints(脚印).

I shall always recall(回忆)the 3 and the girl with the violin. She will always bring back the 4 between us. I know she will always be my best friend.

It is a 7 season and life is uninteresting. The free days always get me 8 But one day,the sound of a violin 9 into my ears like a stream(小溪)flowing in the mountains. I was so surprised that I jumped to see what it was. A young girl, standing in the wind, was 10 in playing her violin.

I had 11seen her before. The music was so nice that I listened quietly. Lost in the music, I didn't know that I had been 12 there for so long but my existence(存在)did not seem to disturb her.

Leaves were still falling. Every day she played the violin in the corner of the building13 I went downstairs to watch her performance. I was the only listener. The autumn seemed no longer lonely and life became 14 . Though we didn't know each other,I thought we were already good friends. I believe she also 15 me.

The season was nearly over. One day，when I was listening carefully，the sound suddenly 16 . To my astonishment(惊讶)，the girl came over to me. "You must like violin," she said.

"Yes. And you play very well. Why did you stop?" I asked.

Suddenly，a 17 expression appeared on her face and I could feel something unusual. "I came here to see my grandmother, but now I must leave. I once played very badly. It was your listening every day that 18 me，" she said.

"In fact,it was your playing that gave me a meaningful 19 ，" I answered, "Let's be friends."

The girl smiled, and so did I.

I never heard her play again in my life. I no longer went downstairs to listen like before. Only thick leaves were left behind. But I will always remember the fine figure(身影)of the girl.

She is like a 20 so short，so bright，like a shooting star giving off so much light that it makes the season beautiful.
