and "thank you". Even the simplest business such as buying a train ticket requires 1 seven or eight of these.
Another 2 of our good manners is the queue. New-comers to Britain could be forgiven for thinking that
queuing rather than football was the 3 national sport. Finally, of course, motorists generally stop at crossings.
But does all this mean that the British should consider themselves more polite than their European neighbours?
I think not.
Take forms of address (称呼) for example. The average English person- 4 he happens to work in a hotel
or department store-would rather die than call a stranger "Sir" or "Madam". Yet in some European countries this
is the most basic of common address. Our 5 "you" for everyone may appear more democratic, but it means
that we are forced to seek out complicated ways to express 6 . I am all for returning to the use of "thee" and
"thou" (Thee and thou are old-fashioned poetic words for "you"); "you" would be 7 for strangers and
professional relationships.
And of course, the English find touching and other shows of friendship truly terrifying. Have you noticed
how the British 8 ever touch? Personally, I find the Latin habit of shaking hands or a friendly kiss quite
charming. Try kissing the average English person, and they will either take two steps backwards in horror ; or,
if their escape is 9 , you will find your lips touching the back of their head. Now what could be 10 than that? | ( )1.A. at least

some highly valued personal belonging. Half of the broken token was held by the father of the bride and
the other half by the groom. A wealthy man was expected to split a piece of gold or silver.
The earliest engagement rings were also used as wedding rings, serving to seal an act of sale which
transformed ownership of a daughter from father to husband. Such rings were usually of solid gold to
prove the groom"s worth.
For Roman Catholics, the engagement ring became a required statement of Nuptial intent (结婚意向),
as decreed by Pope Nicholas I in 860 A. D. The engagement ring was to be of valued metal, preferably
gold, which for the husband-to-be represented a financial sacrifice.
Signifying enduring love, and chosen for its durability, the diamond was chosen for the engagement
ring. The diamond"s fire is also associated with "love"s clear flame," given by Medieval Italians because of
their belief that the diamond was created from the flames of love.
The Venetians were the first to discover that the diamond is one of the hardest, most enduring
substances in nature, and fine cutting and polishing releases the brilliance. Rarity and cost limited their
rapid proliferation (急增) throughout Europe but their intrinsic (内在的) appeal guaranteed them a future.
By the 17th century, the diamond ring had become the most sought after statement of European engagement. | | 1. Who kept the two halves of the engagement rings before marriage? | A. The bride"s father and the bridegroom"s mother.
B. The bride"s mother and the bridegroom.
C. The bride and the bridegroom.
D. The bridegroom and the bride"s father, | | 2. What"s TRUE about the early Anglo-Saxon custom before the 15th century? | A. A will-be bridegroom should beat all his valuable belongings.
B. Every will-be bride should split a piece of gold.
C. The engagement rings were also used to prove the groom"s worth.
D. A rich bride should break one of her most valuable personal belongs. | | 3. Pope Nicholas made the engagement ring a required statement of nuptial intent ______. | A. in the 15th century
B. over 1,000 years ago
C. in the 1860s
D. by the 17th century | | 4. What kind of engagement ring has been the most popular one in Europe? | A. Rings made of gold
B. Rings made of silver
