三 阅读理解 （共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

How do you do? Pleased to meet you．If you are a visitor to our country, I expect by now you have realized why we call it Great Britain: our long and glorious history; the unspoiled beauty of our landscape; the rich variety of our weather, not to mention our great achievements in cricket and football．

As for me, I’m so many feet and inches tall, and weigh so many pounds and ounces．My petrol comes in gallons and my milk in pints — from a milkman．I pay for them, in pounds and sterling．

The following are some specific aspects of us British: Complaining

In order to be British, or at any rate to pass unnoticed in British society, the visitor must learn not to make a fuss．The true Brit cannot stand it．It is equal to drawing attention to you．If the receptionist ignores you, or the hairdresser blows smoke in your face, if the soup is cold or the taxi driver overcharges — say nothing．Who knows what disappointments, what secret sadness their lives might contain? So don’t complain．You can always write to the local newspaper when you get home．

Politeness

To be popular, and to make good impression on his British hosts, the foreign visitor needs to learn how to apologize, in the street, on the bus, at the hairdresser’s, in the bedroom, going out and coming in．Sorry is one of the most important words in the vocabulary of any true Brit, and a word which should be always on the lips of any foreigner moving among us．

Fish and Chips

— or rather, “fish’n’chips” — is another essential experience for the visitor．Britain is an island and eating fish reminds us of our practical and spiritual dependence on the sea．The chips symbolize our people: no two chips are the same, but we are united because we are all cut from the same bag of potatoes, all deep-fried in the same oil．

This supper should be eaten almost immediately, with the fingers, walking along the street, preferably in the dark．DO NOT take the fish’n’chips home, empty them onto a plate and eat them with a knife and fork．This is not the British way．

Mind Your Own Business

A respect for privacy is one of the most highly valued social virtues in Britain, and those who offend against it are branded “Nosey Parkers”．Householders in foreign lands may sit outside their front doors, shelling peas and chatting to the world at large, or else hang from their balconies calling down to passers-by in the street．Such behavior makes the British deeply uneasy．
