It's really true what people say about English politeness: it's everywhere? When squeezing (挤过去)past someone in a narrow passage, people say \When getting off a bus, English passengers say \of doing these things. After all, squeezing past others is sometimes unavoidable, and the bus driver is only doing his job. I used to think the same way, without questioning it, until I started traveling to the British Isles, and here are some more polite ways of interacting (交彳主)with people in UK.
People thank each other everywhere in England, all the time? When people buy something in a shop, customer and shop assistant in most cases 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 opposite to Germans, who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough?
Another thing I observed during my stay was that English people rarely criticize (批评) others? Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me, my employers emphasized several times but none of the ir explanations were intended as criticism. It has been my impression that by avoiding criticism, English people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable. This also is showed in other ways. British men still open doors for women, and British men arc more likely to treat women to a meal 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 tightfisted.
31. What is the author's attitude towards English politeness?
A. He thinks it is unnecessary?
B. He thinks little of it.
C? He appreciates it very much. D. He thinks it goes too far. 32. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. German men never treat a woman to dinne匚
B. The author think it's unnecessary to say \C. In Germany, employers often say \D. Germans think it is unnecessary to thank workers because payment is enough? 33. We can learn from the last paragraph that Scottish men _____ .
A. like to fight with each other B. treat women in a polite way C. are as generous as English men
D. are unwilling to spend money for women
34. The author develops the text through the method of _____ .
A. making comparisons B. telling stories
C. giving reasons
D? giving examples

It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 1() hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries (食品杂货),saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity (人性)as a whole. And it has influenced (影响)us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.
31. Why was the bike so important to the couple?
A. The man's job was bike racing. B. It was their only possession. C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed. D? They used it for work and daily life? 32. We can infer from the text that ___________ .
A. the couple worked 60 hours a week. B. people were busy before Christmas C. the stranger brought over the bike D? life was hard for the young family.
33. How did people get to know the couplers problem? A. From radio broadcasts. B? From a newspaper. C? From TV news. D? From a stranger. 34. What do the couple learn from their experience? A? Strangers are usually of little help?
