Maria Conti：I find the English people insincere （虚伪），cold and unfriendly．They keep saying"Thank you"，"I'm sorry"，even when they don't know each other．They are even polite to their own relatives!Except for helping you find your way in the streets，they aren't really friendly and never invite you to their houses．
Giannis Sinios：On the contrary I found them both broad-minded and friendly．I was invited to people's houses and they all showed great interest in my ideas，Greek life and people．In England I learned that it was possible to be warm，friendly and polite at the same time．
Judy Brown：I lived in both Italy and Greece for a few years．At first there were a few misunderstandings between my foreign friends and myself．For example，I once gave a Greek friend a present for her birthday．I was rather sorry that she didn't unwrap it immediately．What's more，she even didn't thank me until I asked her if she liked it!I've learned from different experiences that a lot of foreigners find our attitude to what we English people call politeness is rather insincere．They feel that politeness isn't necessary between friends．

Answer 1

分析 短文举例说明在不同国家之间的礼貌习惯是不一样的，看待礼貌的行为也是不一样的，从而常常会让不同国家的人们产生一些误解．

解答 答案：37．A  细节理解题．根据第二段第一行句子I find the English people insincere（虚伪的），cold and unfriendly．They keep saying"Thank you"，"I'm sorry"，even when they don't know each other．我发现英国人是虚伪的，冷漠和不友善的．他们一直说"谢谢"，"对不起"，即使他们互相不了解的时候！可知一直对陌生人说"谢谢"，"对不起"是虚伪的．故选A．
38．B  细节推理题．根据第三段第一行句子I was invited to people's houses and they all showed great interest in my ideas，Greek life and people．我被邀请到人们的家里，他们对我的想法，希腊的生活和人们都表现出了极大的兴趣．可知Giannis Sinios来自希腊．故选B．
39．B  细节推理题．根据最后一段句子I once gave a Greek friend a present for her birthday．I was rather sorry that she didn't unwrap it immediately．What's more，she even didn't thank me until I asked her if she liked it!I've learned from different experiences that a lot of foreigners find our attitude to what we English people call politeness is rather insincere．They feel that politeness isn't necessary between friends．我曾经给一个希腊朋友一件生日礼物．我很抱歉，她并没有打开它．更重要的是，她甚至没有感谢我直到我问她是否喜欢它！我从不同的经验得知，很多外国人觉得我们英国人的礼貌相当虚伪．他们觉得朋友间的礼貌是没有必要的．可知通过希腊人和英国人的对比反衬出英国人的习惯，所以英国人会立刻打开看．故选B．
40．D  细节理解题．根据最后一段句子what we English people call politeness rather insincere．They feel that politeness isn't necessary between friends．我们英国人的礼貌相当虚伪．他们觉得朋友间的礼貌是没有必要的．可知不同的国家礼貌习惯是不一样的．故选D．
