问题     Manners are different in every country; but true politeness is everywhere the same. Manners are only【C1】________helps which ignorance assumes in order to imitate politeness, which is the result of good sense and good【C2】________. A person possessed of those qualities, though he had never seen a court, is【C3】________ agreeable; and if without them, would continue a clown, though he had been all his life a gentleman usher. He who assumes airs of importance exhibits his credentials (证明) of【C4】________. There is no policy like politeness; and a good manner is the best thing in the world to get a good name, or to【C5】________ the want of it. Good manners are a part of good morals, and it is as much our duty as our interest to practice in both. Good manners are the art of making those around us easy. Whoever makes the fewest persons【C6】________ is the best bred man in the company. Good manners should begin at home. A person never appears so【C7】________by the qualities he has, as by those he affects to have. He gains more by being【C8】________to be seen as he is, than by attempting to appear what he is not. Good manners is the result of much good sense, some good nature, and a little self-denial, for the【C9】________of others, and with a view to obtain the same indulgence from them. "Manners make the man," says the proverb. It may be true that some men’s manners have been the making of them; but as manners are rather the expression of the man, it would be more【C10】________to say the man makes the manners. Social courtesies should arise from the heart; the worth of maimers consists in being the sincere expressions of feelings.
    A) contented      E) artificial I) proper     M) nature
    B) insignificance F) ridiculous J) compensate N) decent
    C) occasionally   G) courtesy   K) sake       O) uneasy
    D) supply         H) truly      L) presumed
【C4】

选项

答案B

解析 此处需填入修饰credentials的名词。assumes airs of importance意为“摆出很重要的架子”,由此说明事实上情况是相反的,故填入与importance相反的insignificance“无关紧要”。
