The English, as a race, are very different from all other nationalities, including their closest neighbors, the French, Belgians and Dutch. It is claimed (声言) that living on an island 36  from the rest of Europe has much to do with it. Whatever the 37  are, it may be fairly stated that the Englishman has38 many attitudes and habits which make them 39from other nationalities.

Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a 40  , shy and reserved person who is fully relaxed only among people he 41  well. In the 42  of strangers or foreigners he often seems embarrassed. You have only to walk around a city any morning or evening to 43  the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit 44  their newspapers or have a light sleep in a corner with no one speaking. 45, to do so would seem most unusual to many foreigners. An Englishman pretending to be giving46to overseas visitors, once suggested, “On entering a railway carriage, shake hands with all the passengers”. Obviously , he was not being 47  . There is an unwritten48clearly understood code (规则) of behaviour which, if 49  , makes the person immediately suspect(怀疑).

In many parts of the world it is quite 50  to show openly their enthusiasm, emotion, excitement, etc. The Englishman is somewhat 51  . Of course, an Englishman lacks no deep feelings, in fact , no less deeply than any other nationality, but he tends to display his52  far less. This is reflected in his use of 53. Imagine a man making a comment on the great 54  of a young girl. A more emotional man might 55  her as “extremely beautiful,” “precious”, however, an Englishman might just say, “Um, 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.

The English, as a race, are very different in many ways from all other nationalities, including their closest neighbors, the French, the Belgians and the Dutch. It is claimed that living on an island separated from the rest of Europe has much to do with it. Whatever the reasons are, it may be fairly stated that the Englishman has developed many attitudes and habits which distinguish him from other nationalities.

Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a quiet, shy, reserved person who is fully relaxed only among people he knows well. In the presence of strangers or foreigners he often seems restrained, even embarrassed. You have only to witness a city train any morning or evening to see the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or having a light sleep in a corner, and no one speaks. In fact, to do so would seem most unusual. An Englishman, pretending to be giving advice to overseas visitors, once suggested, “On entering a railway carriage, shake hands with all the passengers.” Needless to say, he was not being serious. There is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior which, if broken, makes the person immediately suspected.

In many parts of the world it is quite normal to show openly extremes of enthusiasm, emotion, excitement, etc, often accompanied by appropriate gesture. The Englishman is somewhat different. Of course, an Englishman feels no less deeply than anyone of a different nationality, but he tends to display his feelings far less. This is reflected in his use of language. Imagine a man commenting on the great beauty of a young girl. A more emotional man might describe her state “Oh, she is a goddess”, whereas an Englishman might just say “Oh, she’s all right.” An Englishman who has seen a highly successful and enjoyable film recommends it to a friend by commenting, “It’s not bad you know”, or on seeing some very unusual scenery he might convey (表达) his pleasure by saying, “Nice, yes, very nice.” The overseas visitor must not be disappointed by this apparent lack of interest and involvement. Instead, he must realize that “all right,” “not bad,” and “nice,” very often have the sense of “first-class,” “excellent,” “beautiful”. This unique style of language use is particularly common in England, and is known as restrained statement.

1.According to the passage, the English are different from other nationalities in _______.

2.The underlined word “restrained” in the second paragraph probably means “________”.

3.In Britain, if you don’t want other people to think you are strange, you’d better _________.

4.If an Englishman says “all right”, it may mean “________”.

5.From the passage, we can infer that an Englishman _________.

Whatever our differences as human beings are, we all think we’re more like the rest of the animal world than we realize. It is said that we share 40 per cent of our genetic（遗传的）structure with the simple worm.

But that fact has helped Sir John Sulston win the 2002 Nobel Prize for Medicine. Sir John is the founder of the Sanger Institute in Cambridge, which was set up in 1992 to get further understanding of the human genome（染色体组.

To help them do this, they turned to the worm. The nematode（线虫类的）worm is one of the earliest creatures on planet earth. It is less than one millimeter long, completely transparent and spends its entire life digging holes through sand. But it still has lots to say about human life, and what can be done to make it better.

What the worm told Sir John and his colleagues was that each of cells in the human body is programmed like a computer. They grow, develop and die according to a set of instructions that are coded in our genetic make-up.

Many of the diseases that humans suffer from happen when these instructions go wrong or are not obeyed. When the cell refuses to die but carries on growing instead, this leads to cancer. Heart attacks and diseases like AIDS cause more cell deaths than normal, increasing the damage they do to the body. Sir John was the first scientist to prove the existence of programmed cell death.

1．Sir John Sulston got a Nobel Prize for Medicine because he has______.

A．found that human beings are similar to the worn

B．got the fact we share 40 per cent of our genetic structure with the simple worm

C．found the computer which controls each of the cells in the human body

D．proved that cell death is programmed

2．People might be seriously ill if the cells in heir body______-.

A．grow without being instructed B．die regularly

C．fail to follow people’s instructions    D．develop in the human body

3．The underlined word “they” (paragraph 5) refers to_________-.

A．cell deaths                 B．diseases           C．instructions            D．cells

4．What is the subject discussed in the text?

A．The theory of programmed cell deaths.

B．A great scientist—Sir John Sulston.

C．The programmed human life.

D．Dangerous diseases.
