28、ghbors, the French, Belgians and Dutch. It is claimed that living on an island separated from the rest of Europe has much to do with it.

30、-looking businesses and women sit reading their newspaper or dozing in a corner, no one speaks. In fact, to do so would seem most usual.

Very often conventional greetings are re placed by comments

35、 on the weather. “Nice day，isn t?” “Beautiful ! ”may well be heard instead of “Good morning”, how are you? “Although the foreigner may consider this exaggerated and comic, it is worthwhile pointing out that it could be used to his advantage. If he wants to start a conversation with an Englishman ( o

36、r woman) but is at a loss to know where to begin he would do well to mention the state of the weather.It is a safe subject, which will encourage even the most reserved Englishmen to enter into a conversation.31 What is the reason that the Englishmen enter into a conversation?（A）Because the English h

37、ave developed many different attitudes and habits.（B） Because living on an island separated from the rest of Europe has much to do with it.（C） Because the English are quite shy and reserved.（D）Because an Englishman often seems uneasy, even embarrassed when he meets with strangers or foreigners. 32 W

42、d milk became all kinds of cakes. Nothing was wasted, and we were never troubled by rotten food. Thirty years on, food deliveries have ceased, fresh vegetables are almost unobtainable in the country.The invention of the fridge contributed comparatively little to the art of food preservation. A vast

43、way of well-tried techniques already existed-natural cooling, drying, smoking, salting, sugaring, bottlingWhat refrigeration did promote was marketing-marketing hardware and electricity, marketing soft drinks, marketing dead bodies of animals around the globe in search of a good price.Consequently,
