It's really true what people say about English politeness: it's everywhere. When squeezing past someone in a narrow passage, people say "sorry". When getting off a bus, English passengers say "thank you" rather than the driver. In Germany, people would never dream 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 (交往) with people in UK.
People thank each other everywhere in England, all the time. When people buy something in a shop, customers and retail assistants in most cases thank each other twice or more. In Germany, it would be exceptional（例外的）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 others. Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me, my employers emphasized several times but none of their 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 are 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.
1.What is the author's attitude towards English politeness?
A. He thinks it is artificial.
B. He appreciates it very much.
C. He thinks little of it.
D. He thinks it goes too far.
2.What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The author think it's unnecessary to say “thank you” to the bus driver.
B. In Germany, employers often say “thank you” to employees for their job.
C. Germans think it is unnecessary to thank workers because payment is enough.
D. German men never treat a woman to dinner.
3.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. English people try to avoid criticizing others in the daily life.
B. In Germany, passengers sometimes say “thank you” to bus drivers.
C. English drivers often say “thank you” to passengers when they get off the bus.
D. Germans are more considerate and polite than Englishmen.
4.The author develops the text through the method of .
A. giving comments
B. telling stories
C. making comparisons
D. giving reasons/examples

Here is a question I have often asked at dinner parties:
You're on an island with only one other person, your best friend. He's dying of cancer. In his final days, he tells you, "I have 100,000 dollars in a bank back home. When I die, make sure my son goes to medical school." Then he dies. But his son is a no-good playboy who has no interest in going to medical school and will waste that money away in a very short time. But your son is entering college, and he is willing to become a doctor. Which one do you give the money to for medical school?
