When a stranger is present, he often seems nervous, 2 embarrassed. You have to take a commuter train (通勤车) any morning or evening to 3 the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or 4 off in a corner; hardly anybody talks, since to do so would be considered quite offensive (冒犯的). 5 , there is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior, which, once 6 , makes the offender immediately the object of 7 One of the few things we can say about the British with certainty is that a British takes a(n) 8 to the discussion of their weather and that, if given a chance, he will talk about it 9 Some people argue that it is because the British weather 10 follows forecast and thus becomes a source of interest to everyone.
