问题 The English, as a race, are very different from all other nationalities, including their closest neighbors, the French, Belgians and Dutch. It is claimed that living on an island【C1】________from the rest of Europe has much to do with it. Whatever the reasons are, it may be fairly stated that the Englishman has【C2】________many attitudes and habits which make them differ from other nationalities.
　　Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a【C3】________, shy and reserved person who is fully relaxed only among people he knows well. In the【C4】________of strangers or foreigners he often seems embarrassed. You have only to walk around a city any morning or evening to find out the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit【C5】________their newspapers or have a light sleep in a corner with no one speaking. In fact, to do so would seem most unusual to many foreigners. An Englishman pretending to be giving【C6】________to overseas visitors, once suggested, "On entering a railway carriage, shake hands with all the passengers". Obviously, he was not being serious. There is an unwritten【C7】________clearly understood code of behaviour which, if broken, makes the person immediately suspect.
　　In many parts of the world it is quite【C8】________to show openly their enthusiasm, emotion, excitement, etc. The Englishman is somewhat different. Of course, an Englishman lacks no deep feelings, in fact, no less deeply than any other nationality, but he tends to display his 【C9】________far less. This is reflected in his use of language. Imagine a man making a comment on the great【C10】________of a young girl. A more emotional man might describe her as "extremely beautiful," "precious", however, an Englishman might just say, "Urn, she is all right." The girl who heard this should not be angry because "not bad" and "all right" very often have the same meaning as "first class" "excellent" and this unique style of language use is common in England.
