When a s
20、tranger is at present, he often seems nervous, 【B2】 embarrassed. You have to take a commuter train any morning or evening to 【B3】 the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or dozing in a corner; hardly anybody talks, since to do so would be considered quit
21、e offensive. 【B4】 there is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior which, 【B5】 broken, makes the offender immediately the object of 【B6】 .

24、le day. Very often conversational greetings are 【B16】 by comments on the weather. Nice day, isnt it? Beautiful! may well be heard instead of Good morning, how are you? 【B17】 the foreigner may consider this exaggerated and comic, it is worthwhile pointing out that it could be used to his advantage. 【
25、B18】 he wants to start a conversation with a British but is 【B19】 to know where to begin, he could do well to mention the state of the weather, k is a safe subject which will 【B50】 an answer from even the most reserved of the British. （分数：1.00）A.relaxedB.frustratedC.amusedD.exhaustedA.yetB.otherwise

42、moment another train, also on a down line, swerved inwards towards them, for a moment with almost alarming effect. For a time the two trains ran parallel, now one gaining a little, now the other. Mrs. McGillicuddy looked from her window through the windows of the parallel carriages. Most of the blin
43、ds were down, but occasionally the occupants of the carriages were visible. The other train was not very full and there were many empty carriages. At the moment when the two trains gave the illusion of being stationary, a blind in one of the carriages flew up with a snap. Mrs. McGillicuddy looked in
44、to the lighted first-class carriage that was only a few feet away. Then she drew her breath in with a gasp and half-rose to her feet. Standing with his back to the window and to her was a man. His hands were round the throat of a woman who faced him, and he was slowly, remorselessly, strangling her. Her eyes were staring from their sockets, her face was purple.
