Module 1 Small Talk Ⅰ.完形填空 Generally speaking, a British is widely regarded as a quiet, shy and conservative (保守的) person who is _1.A__ only among those with whom he is familiar. When a stranger is present, he often seems nervous, 2.C__ embarrassed. You have to take a commuter train (通勤车) any morning or evening to _3.B__ the truth of this. Serious－looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or _4.C__off in a corner; hardly anybody talks, since to do so would be considered quite offensive (冒犯的)． _5.D__， there is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior, which, once _6.D__， makes the offender immediately the object of _7.C__. One of the few things we can say about the British with certainty is that a British takes a(n)_8.B__ to the discussion of their weather and that, if given a chance, he will talk about it _9.A__.

Certainly a British cannot have much _11.A__ in the weathermen, whose predictions, in many cases, _12.C__ to be wrong! The man in the street seems to be as accurate—or as inaccurate—as the weathermen in his _13.B__. Foreigners may be surprised at the number of references _14.D__ weather that the British make to each other in the course of a single day. Very often conversational greetings are _15.C__ by comments on the weather. “Nice day, isnt it？”“Beautiful day！” may well be heard instead of“Good morning, how are you？”_16.B__ the foreigner may consider this exaggerated (夸大的) and comic, it is worthwhile pointing out that it could be used to his_17.B__. If he wants to start a conversation with a British but is _18.A__ to know where to begin, he could do well to mention the state of the weather. It is a(n) _19.D__ subject to which a response may well be _20.A__ of even the most reserved of the British. 文章大意：英国人安静、保守，陌生人之间很少交谈，但他们却非常喜欢谈论天气，因此，天气也就成为了与英国人开始一段谈话的常用话题。 1．A.relaxed
