Well, I must admit that such things didn't cross my mind until last February when I got a letter from the British Council, saying that I had won a language course in England The polite question mentioned was the one I had to ask on arrival in Parkstone, a picturesque part of Poole with lots of semi-detached houses on either side of each street What struck me most was the kindness of an old lady, who happened to leave Safeway's just after my getting off the coach Not only did she show me where to phone for a taxi, but she also gave me a hand with the luggage I was really surprised, too, when the taxi driver got out of the car and helped me put the bags into the boot I immediately thought of Polish taxi drivers who usually not make the slightest effort to help you, apart from pressing the right button and waiting for the boot to open In spite of all the stereotypes about reluctance towards foreigners, the English turn out to be an extremely polite and open nation According to the passage, where does the author come from? A England B Poland C Parkstone D Pool How did the old lady help the author? A showed her where to phone for a taxi B gave her a hand with the luggage C put her luggage in the boot D both A and B are correct What does the author think of the English? A They are very polite and open B They are always reluctant towards foreigners C They are kind-hearted D They care a lot about others' business What did the author see when arriving in Parkstone? A the picturesque part of Poole B the semi-detached houses C the British council building D the coach What is NOT true according to the passage? A The author won a language course in England B The author met a kind lady when she first arrived in Parkstone Page of C The author thinks' that everyday English expressions have no practical values D The author was surprised by the enthusiastic help of the British driver 1. 2. _ 3.
