Reading Comprehension (阅读理解)：(共50分) A. Choose the best answer (根据文章内容，选择最恰当的答案)：(12分) Linxi had taken part in a 6-month international student exchange scheme to Britain. When she came back, she wrote an article about the impression of Britain for the school newspaper. The following are parts of her article: Personal SpaceBritish people like a lot of space around them. They dont like to make physical contact of any kind with strangers and feel very uncomfortable if anyone stands too close to them. One example of the British keep their distance is that people do not often shake hands with one another at all. Making Polite RequestIn making polite requests, British people like to use very indirect language, using the conditional tense and negatives. Amita, an Indian student said: British people never got to the point. They go around this way and that way, using twenty words where three would do. Its really hard to communicate with them. David, British High School Official gave his comment: Some nationalities do not always seem very polite; I want this or I want that, no smiles nor a please nor a thank you. Smiling Some students say that British people smile a lot, compared to many national groups often for no particular reason. The British smile as a greeting, smile when asking for something, smile on receiving it.King, a Korean student once said: The British are so insincere(不诚恳的). They smile even when they are not happy or pleased to see you. One girl smiled at me every time we passed each other and I thought she really liked me. So I asked her to come out with me and she refused. She was leading me on and then turned me down. Well, she maybe did not realize that she was smiling and probably smiled at everyone. But it is easy to see how this could be misinterpreted by someone in whose culture smiles are used only to express genuine(真诚的) warmth. But still many students comment that they do not find British people in shops, banks, at reception desks smile enough to make them feel welcome.69.
