问题     Every country tends to accept its own way of life as being the normal one and to praise or criticize others as they are similar to or different from it. And unfortunately, our picture of the people and the way of life of other countries is often a distorted (曲解) one.
    Here is a great argument in favor of foreign travel and learning foreign languages. It is only by traveling in, or living in a country and getting to know its inhabitants and their language that one can find out what a country and its people are really like. And how different the knowledge one gains this way frequently turns out to be from the second-hand information gathered from other sources 1 How often we find that the foreigners whom we thought to be such different people from ourselves are not very different after all!
    Differences between peoples do, of course, exist and, one hopes, will always continue to do so. The world will be a dull place indeed when all the different nationalities behave exactly alike, and some people might say that we are rapidly approaching this state of affairs. With the much greater rapidity and ease of travel, there might seem to be some truth in this at least as far as Europe is concerned. However this may be, at least the greater ease of travel today has revealed to more people than ever before that the Englishman or Frenchman or German is not some different kind of animal from themselves.
The knowledge one gains by traveling in a foreign country is often______.
选项 A、from second-hand information
B、gathered from other sources than from its inhabitants
C、gained from the arguments about the country
D、different from what one had before the travel
答案D
解析 文中第二段第三句说：“当一个人通过这种方式获得知识时，经常会发现与通过其他渠道获得的二手信息竟有很大的出入。”结合上一句可知，这一种方式是指旅行、定居等，所以一个人在外国旅行时获得的知识常会与旅行前不同。
