A、Reading. B、Writing. C、Speaking. D、Listening. B4个选项分别是学习英语所常常强调注意的“听，说、读、写’。对话中提到Mr. McCourt是女士的老师，他“teaching us writing”，因此可以判

W: Frank, what’s your impression of English people?
M: Well, they are the most reserved, the most suspicious, the most unreceptive, the most unfriendly, the coldest-h, and the most domineering of all western people.
W: Why? It seems you’re you are really prejudiced against the English people.
M: Not necessarily. This is the judgment by all other European people. Ask a Frenchman, an Italian, a Germen like me, or even an American, what he thinks about Englishman; and every one will tell you the very same thing.
W: Don’t you have any compliments for the English people?
M: Oh, yes. You would find on the other hand that nearly all nations would speak highly of certain other English qualifies energy, courage, honor, and justice. Although no man is so difficult to make friends with, the friendship of an Englishman once gained is more strong and true than any other. What do you think of them anyway?
W: I don’t know much about English people. But last semester, we had a teacher named Mr. McCourt teaching us writing, he is from Liverpool. He is rather silent, reserved, and not amiable. Some of us were really afraid of him. But he was a great teacher, and has taught us many writing techniques. I have made much progress.
M: Then he is a typical English man, for the Englishman of the best type is much more inclined to be just than be is to he kind.
W: That’s fight. Mr. McCourt often told us that kindness is an emotional impulse, and we should be on our guard against every kind of emotional impulse.
M: But with all this, the character is a good one, and its success has been the very proof of its value.
