D

People often say that the Englishman’s home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal to him. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them individual(个体的); they can paint them, and change them in any way they like. Most houses have a garden, even if it is a very small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private(私人的) space of the individual.

People usually like to mark their space. Are you sitting now in your home or on a train Have you marked the space around yourself as yours If you are on the train you may put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you. If you share a flat you may have one corner or chair which is your own.

Once I was travelling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man on the opposite side to me had his briefcase on the table. There was no space on my side of the table at all. I was angry. Maybe he thought that he owned the whole table. I had read a book about nonverbal communication, so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his briefcase! When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped(瞪出)out of his head. I had invaded(侵犯)his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off his case in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table. Of course, it is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me!

If you are visiting another country you may feel that you don’t have any private space. Hotel rooms look much the same in every country in the world. All day long, you share public spaces with other people. You see the local people in their private spaces and you feel lonely and "outside". Local people can create their private spaces by talking about things you don’t know about. And you even feel that they like you to be outside them so that they will enjoy being inside even more! This is one of the difficulties of being a traveller! But if you understand it then it helps you. Haven’t you enjoyed being part of a group and" owning" a bit of space

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage（）

A．British people dislike marking their space.

B．You always feel at home in another country.

C．Most British people prefer living in houses to flats.

D．You can’t mark your private space in a foreign country.

     It was a cold grey day in late November. The weather had changed overnight, when a backing wind

brought a pale sky and a muzzling rain with it, and although it was now only a little after two o'clock in

the afternoon the gray of a winter evening seemed to have closed upon the hills, surrounding them in mist.

It would be dark by four. The air was cold, and for all the tightly closed windows it influenced the inside

of the coach. The leather seats felt damp to the hands, and there must have been a small crack in the roof,

because now and again little drips of rain fell softly through, polluting the leather and leaving a dark-blue

stain like a spot of ink. The wind came in, at times shaking the coach as it traveled round the bend of the

road, and in the exposed places on the high ground it blew with such force that the whole body of the

coach trembled and swayed, rocking between the high wheels like a drunken man.

     The driver, muffled (裹住) in a great coat to his ears, bent almost double in his seat in a faint endeavor

to gain shelter from his own shoulders. The few passengers pressed together for warmth, exclaiming all

together when the coach sank into a heavier rut (车辙) than usual, and one old fellow, who had kept up

a constant complaint ever since he had joined the coach at Truro, rose from his seat in anger; and, feeling

with the window-frame, let the window down with a crash, bringing a shower of rain upon himself and

his fellow-passengers. He thrust his head out and shouted up to the driver, scolding him in a angry voice

for a rogue and a murderer; that they would all be dead before they reached Bodmin if he persisted in

driving at dangerous speed; they had no breath left in their bodies as it was, and he would never travel by

coach again.
