阅读理解提高训练1People often say that the Englishmans home is his castle.They mean that the home is very important and personal to him.Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats,and many people own their homes.This means that they can make them individual（个体的）;they can paint them,and change them in any way they like.Most house have a garden,even if it is a very small one,and the garden is usually loved.The house and the garden are the private（私人的）space of the individual.People usually like to mark their space.Are you sitting now in your home or on a train?have you marked the space around yourself as your?If you are on the train you may put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you.If you share a flat you may have one corner or chair which is your own.Once I was travelling on a train to London.I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us .The man on my side of the table had all the space. I was angry.Maybe he thought that he owned the whole table.I had read a book about non-verbal communication,so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his briefcase!When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped(瞪出)out of his head.I had invaded(侵犯)his space!A few minutes later I took my papers off his case in order to read them.He immediately moved his case to his side of the table.Of course,it is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me!If you are visiting another country you may feel that you dont have any private space.Hotel rooms look much the same in every country in the world.All day long ,you share public spaces with o ther pople.You see the local people in their private spaces and you feel lonely and “outside”.Local people can create their private spaces by talking about things you dont know about .And you even feel that they like you to be outside them so that they will enjoy being inside even more!This is one of the difficulties of being a traveler!But if you understand it then it helps you .Havent you enjoyed being part of a group and “owning”a bit of space?1.The writer was angry as he was travelling on a train to London because_.A.he had no place to sit B.someone had invaded his “space”C.too many people shared a section with himD.some other people talked about things he didnt know about2. “ you feel lonely and outside”in paragraph 4 means that_.A.you are alone outside the houseB.you feel lonely because you travel on your ownC.you are alone and therefore you go outside to have some funD.you feel lonely and you dont belong to that place or that group of people3.In Paragraph 4 ,the pronoun “themrefers to（所指） “_”.A.public spacesB.private spacesC.local peopleD.other countries4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.British people dislike marking their space.B.You always feel at home in another country.
