The sun is shining when I get on No. 151 bus....

The sun is shining when I get on No. 151 bus. We passengers sit jammed together in heavy clothes. No one speaks. That’s one of the unwritten rules of Chicago commuting. Although we see the same faces every day, we prefer to hide behind our newspapers. The phenomenon is striking: people who sit so close together are using those thin sheets of newsprint to keep their distance.

As the bus approaches the Magnificent Mile, a voice suddenly rings out: “Attention! Attention!” Papers rattle (发出细小声). Necks crane (伸长). “This is your driver speaking.”

We look at the back of the driver’s head. His voice has authority.

“All of you put your papers down.”

The papers come down, an inch at a time. The driver waits. The papers are folded and placed on our laps.

“Now, turn and face the person next to you. Go ahead.”

Amazingly, we all do it. Still, no one smiles.

I face an older woman, her head wrapped tightly in a red scarf. I see her nearly every day. Our eyes meet. We wait, unblinking, for the next order from the driver.

“Now, repeat after me…” It is a command, delivered in the tones of a drill sergeant (操练军士). “Good morning, neighbor!”

Our voices are weak and timid. For many of us, these are the first words we have spoken today. But we say them at the same time, like schoolchildren, to the strangers beside us.

We smile and can’t help it. We have said it; the barrier has been broken. Good morning, neighbor. It is not so hard after all. Some of us repeat it. Others shake hands. Many laugh.

The bus driver says nothing more. He doesn’t need to. Not a single newspaper goes back up. I hear laughter, a warm sound I have never heard before on bus No. 151. This day is starting off better than most.

1.On hearing the sudden utterance of “Attention!”, the passengers ___________.

A．stopped reading and put down their newspapers immediately

B．sat still without response

C．looked up from the newspapers to see who was speaking

D．were frightened

2.The underlined word “commuting” in Paragraph 1 most probably means ___________.

A．long-distance ride

B．daily traveling between home and work

C．communication technology

D．behavior patterns

3.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．The passengers on the crowded bus were so absorbed in reading their newspapers that no one spoke.

B．When the bus driver said nothing more, the passengers picked up and read their newspapers again.

C．The passengers didn’t follow the driver’s instruction at first.

D．The passengers were physically close together but mentally they kept each other at a terrible distance.

4.What would be the best title for the text?

A．The Warmth of Communication

B．The Exchange of Information

C．The Power of Observation

D．The Attitude to Loneliness

高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

You get on an almost-empty bus, but the next passenger decides to ignore all the empty seats to sit right next to you. While you are waiting in line at the supermarket, the next

customer stands just behind you shouting into his phone.

These are attacks of the personal space invaders(侵略者). Though preferences for personal space differ from culture to culture, we Britons do love our independence and personal space.

As the British customs website Debrett has said, as a British person, somebody standing too close may make you “focus less on what somebody is saying than on how close they are to you”. Simple acts like putting an arm around someone you don’t know that well may seem friendly in China, but they can make us very uncomfortable. The ediplomat.com website explains: “The British are not back slappers (拍打者) or touchers and generally do not show affection (喜欢) in public.”

Being a British person around people from other countries can therefore be full of problems. People from many European countries such as France and Spain kiss each other on the cheek when they meet, yet to us this seems too friendly and “touchy-feely”.

Simple matters like how close others stand can be problems to Britons who want to keep their own personal space. Giving advice on how to behave around a British person, Debrett’s says that “if you can feel the warmth of their worried breath upon your face, then you’re standing too close”.

So, are British people unfriendly? No. The ediplomat.com website explains that we are not as “indifferent” as we may seem, but “very friendly and helpful to foreigners”. However, we do have different ideas about our own space to many people from other countries. Just let us know if you’re going to come any closer than arm’s length, and you’ll be fine!

1.What is the article mainly about?

A. How to make friends with British people.

B. Some tips on British table manners.

C. Ways in which British people show affection.

D. British people’s preference for personal space.

2.If you were meeting a British person for the first time, it would be polite of you to ______, according to the article.

A. kiss him/her on the cheek

B. put an arm around him/her

C. keep an arm’s length away from him/her

D. slap his/her back or shake his/her hands

3.The underlined word “indifferent” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “_____”.

A. cold　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. modest

C. gentlemanlike 　　　　　　 　 D. independent

4.What can we conclude from the article?

A. British people like to sit next to others on empty buses.

B. British people are helpful, although they may not appear to be.

C. British people do not like staying with other Europeans.

D. British people are happy to show affection in public.
