Walking in the street in the USA or the UK, you can often hear people talking about the weather. "Lovely day, isn’t it?" "It’s cold, isn’t it?" and so ox
Americans and English people like talking about the weather. This makes lots of Chinese puzzled（困惑）. But they talk about the weather not only because the weather there changes a lot, but also they do not like to talk with others about private things like age, family and income. Stay with strangers, people all like talking about the weather, then they can talk about other things naturally（自然）. They think if you like spring, you have a warm heart; if you like summer, you have a great will; if you like autumn, you have abundant feeling（豐富的感情）；if you like winter, you have a vast mind（廣闊的胸懷）．
【小題1】What is the Chinese meaning of ‘private’?
| A．私人的 | B．公共的 | C．未知的 | D．不感興趣的 |
| A．Because the weather there is changeable. |
| B．Because they do not like to talk about private things. |
| C．Because then they can talk about other things naturally. |
| D．Both A and B |
| A．If you like spring, you like to help others. |
| B．A lot of Chinese don’t know why the English people like talking about the weather. |
| C．The weather often changes in UK, |
| D．English people will talk about their ages with the strangers. |
【小題1】A
【小題2】D
【小題3】D
解析【小題1】從第二段第三行可以看到美國人和英國人不喜歡談論年齡，家庭和收入，這些都屬于個人的隱私，也就是私人的事情，所以private是私人的意思，故本題選A。
【小題2】從第二段第二行我們可以看到美國人和英國人喜歡談論天氣的原因不僅是由于當地的天氣易變，而且是因為他們不喜歡談論私人的事情，故選D。
【小題3】本文的最后三行提到四季，如果你喜歡春天，那么你將會有一個熱心腸，樂于幫助別人，在第二段第二行提到中國人對英美國家的人喜歡談論天氣感到困惑，不知是什么原因，在英國的天氣易變，英國人不喜歡談論他們的私人問題，如年齡和收入等，故本題不正確的為D項。
