Question

The English, as a race, are very different from all other nationalities, including their closest neighbors, the French, Belgians and Dutch. It is claimed (声言) that living on an island 1 from the rest of Europe has much to do with it. Whatever the 2 are, it may be fairly stated that the Englishman has3 many attitudes and habits which make them 4from other nationalities.
Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a 5 , shy and reserved person who is fully relaxed only among people he 6 well. In the 7 of strangers or foreigners he often seems embarrassed. You have only to walk around a city any morning or evening to 8 the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit 9 their newspapers or have a light sleep in a corner with no one speaking. 10, to do so would seem most unusual to many foreigners. An Englishman pretending to be giving11to overseas visitors, once suggested, “On entering a railway carriage, shake hands with all the passengers”. Obviously , he was not being 12 . There is an unwritten13clearly understood code (规则) of behaviour which, if 14 , makes the person immediately suspect(怀疑).
In many parts of the world it is quite 15 to show openly their enthusiasm, emotion, excitement, etc. The Englishman is somewhat 16 . Of course, an Englishman lacks no deep feelings, in fact , no less deeply than any other nationality, but he tends to display his17 far less. This is reflected in his use of 18. Imagine a man making a comment on the great 19 of a young girl. A more emotional man might 20 her as “extremely beautiful,” “precious”, however, an Englishman might just say, “Um, she is all right.” The girl who heard this should not be angry because "not bad" and " all right" very often have the same meaning as "first class" " excellent" and this unique style of language use is common in England.
