问题     It is interesting to reflect how we judge people by the clothes they wear. Long hair and patched blue jeans? A student, we say to ourselves instantly, and not living at home either, or he wouldn’t be going about with those holes in his jeans. A graceful lady in a close-fitting dress, carefully cut nails and earrings? Must be a foreigner, we think, English woman of that age don’t dress so smartly, and she probably has money, too, those shoes weren’t bought in a chain store. And that man walking along the pavement over there? Well-tailored suit, hat just at the right angle? A businessman, of course, and undoubtedly English. Why English? Well, it’s raining, isn’t it? Only an Englishman would carry his treasure umbrella, still perfectly rolled, in the rain.     I once read of a journalist who went into an extremely expensive department store dressed in her shabby clothes. She was eyed with suspicion as she examined the goods on display. When she finally decided on a small purchase, she said she had forgotten to bring enough money with her and could she pay by cheque. The assistant politely told her that cheques were not accepted for goods of 2 or under. The next day she went back, dressed to kill, smelling of expensive perfume. She selected an even cheaper article, told the same story and her cheque was accepted without question. It only goes to show how easily we are impressed by clothes. I wonder if Stone Age Man selected his woman by the quality of the bearskin she was wearing?
The writer suggests that Englishmen______.
选项 A、pay no attention to rain
B、never go out without carrying their umbrellas
C、take great care of their umbrellas
D、are too proud to unroll their umbrellas
答案D
解析 这是一道推断题。根据我们对英国的了解我们知道，英国属海洋性温带气候，绝大部分时间是雨天。英国人的绅士观念很强，为了使自己在下雨时不显得狼狈，有失体面，就总手提一把雨伞。经过历史的沉淀，伞已经变成了一种装饰，也成了绅士的标志!英国人爱伞在世界上是出了名的。根据文中的“treasure”、“perfectly rolled”我们可推断出答案为D。
