问题     According to a recent survey, more than 50% of Americans is concerned (1)______
about the growing rudeness in the U. S. We assault each other more all the
time with upsetting noises, views, sounds, smells, and attitude. It’s getting (2)______
to where we need to protect ourselves away one another! Maybe it’s getting (3)______
a little too wild out there.
    Good manners are, first of all, civilized behavior. That’s as opposed to
wild behavior. "He acts like he was raised in a barnyard," my mother will (4)______
say, about some hapless boy who pulled away in front of my house for (5)______
a date and just sat in the car and honked. Whether that was a particular
rule in your household, or culture, all cultures have "rules" and they are
learned, not innate. In Italy, it’s good manners for a man to greet with (6)______
another man with an embrace and a kiss on every cheek. Not so in (7)______
the South Texas, where men stand 3 feet apart and at 90 degree angles to (8)______
converse with one another. All cultures have rules and if you violate them,
you’ll be excluded.
    Manners are made up of trivialities of deportment which can be easily
learned if one does not happen to know them. Manner, on the other hand,
is personality—the outwardly manifestation of one’s innate character and (9)______
attitude toward life. Manners must be really ingrained, a matter of who you
are, not how you are. Once we’ve learned it, etiquette becomes a matter of
impulse rather than of conscious obedience. (10)______
(10)
选项
答案impulse — instinct
解析 impulse的意思是“a sudden desire”，instinct的意思是“a natural tendency”。原句的意思是礼仪不应该成为一种有意识遵循的行为规则，而应该成为一种自然的行为，所以应该用instinct。
