When a stranger is at present, he often seems nervous, 【22】embarrassed. You have to take a commuter train any morning or evening to【23】the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or dozing in a corner; hardly anybody talks, since to do so would be considered quite offensive.
【24】, there is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior which, 【25】broken, makes the offender immediately the object of【26】.

This may be so.【31】a British cannot have much【32】in the weathermen, who, after promising fine, sunny weather for the following day, are often proved wrong【33】a cloud over the Atlantic brings rainy weather to all districts! The man in the street seems to be as accurate — or as inaccurate — as the weathermen in his【34】.
Foreigners may be surprised at the number of references【35】weather that the British make to each other in the course of a single day.

It is a safe subject which will【40】an answer from even the most reserved of the British.
