问题      Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a quiet, shy, reserved person who is fully  【21】______   only among people he knows well.
     In the presence of strangers or foreigners he often seams inhibited.  【22】______   embarrassed. You have only to  【23】______   a commuter train any morning or evening to see the truth of this. Serious looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or dozing in a corner; no one speaks. In fact, to do so would seem most unusual.  【24】______   , there is here an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior which.  【25】______   broken, makes the person immediately the object of  【26】______   .

Very often conversational greetings are  【36】______   by comments on the weather. "Nice day, isn’t it?" "Beautiful!" may well be heard instead of "Good morning, how are you?"  【37】______   the foreigner may consider this exaggerated and comic, it is worthwhile pointing out that it could be used to his ad- vantage.  【38】______   he wants to start a conversation with an Englishman but is  【39】______   to know where to begin, he could do well to mention the state of the weather. It is a safe subject which will  【40】______   an answer from even the most reserved of Englishmen.
