Ⅱ.阅读理解
It's really true what people say about English politeness;it's everywhere.When squeezing past someone in a narrow aisle(走廊),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 inevitable(难以避免的),and the bus driver is merely doing his job.I used to think the same way,without questioning it,until I started travelling to the British Isles and came to appreciate some more polite ways of interacting with people.
People thank each other everywhere in England,all the time.When people buy something in a shop,customer and shop assistant(售货员)in most cases thank each other twice or more.In Germany,it would be exceptional to hear more than one “thank you”each in such a conversation.British students thank their lecturers when leaving the room.English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs,as opposed to Germans,who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough of a thanks.
Another thing I observed during my stay was the way the British rarely criticise others.Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me,my employers emphasised several times but none of their explanations were intended as criticism.It has been my impression that by avoiding criticism,the British are
making an effort to make others feel comfortable.This also showed in other ways:British men still open doors for women,and British men are more likely to treat women for a meal than Germans.However,I do need to point out here that this applies to Englishmen a bit more than it would to Scottish men!Yes,the latter are a bit tight-fisted(吝啬的).
