【单选题】TheEnglish, as a race, are very different from all other nationalities, including their closest neighbors, the French,Belgians andDutch. It is claimed that living on an island separated from the rest ofEurope has much to do with it. Whatever the reasons, it may be fairly stated that theEnglishman has developed many attitudes and habits which distinguish him from other nationalities.
Broadly speaking, theEnglishman is a quiet, shy, reserved person who is fully relaxed only among people he knows well. In the presence of strangers or foreigners she often seems inhibited, 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; no one speaks. In fact, to do so would seem most unusual.AnEnglishman, 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 suspect.
In many parts of the world it is quite normal to show openly extremes of enthusiasm, emotion, excitement, etc, often accompanied by appropriate gestures. TheEnglishman is somewhat different. Of course, anEnglishman feels no less deeply than any other 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. Whereas a more emotional man might describe her as "an excellent jewel", "extremely beautiful", "precious", theEnglishman will flatly state "Urn, she’s all right".AnEnglishman 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 very unusual scenery he might convey his pleasure by saying, "Nice, yes, very nice." The overseas visitor must not be disappointed by this apparent lack of interest and involvement; he must realize that "all right", "not had", and "nice", very often have the sense of "first- class", "excellent", "beautiful". This special use of language, particularly common inEngland, is known as restrained statement.
According to the passage, theEnglishman ______.A.has less feelings than other nationalities
B.has emotions as deep as any other nationalities
C.expresses emotion by use of his language
D.likes to have a joke with foreign visitors
