It is interesting to reflect how we judge people by the clothes they wear. Long hair and ripped blue jeans? A student, we say to ourselves instantly, is 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. Englishwomen 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 treasured 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 wondered whether she could pay by cheque. The assistant politely told her that cheques were not accepted for goods of 2 pounds 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 hats
D、are too proud to unroll their umbrellas
答案
D
解析
根据第一段最后一句“Only an Englishman would carry his treasured umbrella, still perfectly rolled in the rain. ”可知,只有英国人会携带着他珍爱的伞,伞在雨中也仍然完好地卷着。由此可推知,作者暗示英国人过于骄傲,不愿在雨天撑伞。故选D。
