Many Americans believe that natural behavior is beautiful. The "natural" (4)_____ to human relations presumes that to know any person well enough is to love him, that the (5)_____ human problem is a communication problem.

A gentleman opens a door for a lady because his mother taught him that ladies (8)_____ such courtesies, but she (9)_____ and spits in his eye because he has insulted her womanhood. A young lady offers her seat in a (10)_____ bus to an elderly, frail gentleman, and he gives her a (11)_____ look because she has insulted his (12)_____ Mind you, those are just people (13)_____ to be nice; the only problem is that they are (14)_____ on different systems of (15)_____.

选项
A、trying
B、refusing
C、showing
D、looking
答案
A
解析
本题的考点为对上下文的理解和动词的词义辨析。前一句话提到老人对让座的人瞪眼;这一句又说"请注意。那些只是一些______表现出友善的人"。由此可推知这些人是想尽力对别人表现出友善的,所以trying"尽力"符合文意。refusing"拒绝",showing"表现",looking"看上去"都与文意不符。
