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 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! 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.
One who travels in a foreign country and learns its language will______.
选项
A、find out what its people are like
B、argue in favor of this country and the language
C、know the country and its people better
D、like its inhabitants and their language
答案
C
解析
一个在外国旅行并且学习该国语言的人会——。A.发现那里的人们是什么样的;B.争论中偏向于赞同该国及其语言;C.更好地了解该国及其人民;D.喜欢当地人民和他们的语言。第二段第二句指出“只有到过一一个国家,或者在一个国家生活,了解当地居民和他们的语言,一个人才能真正发现一个国家及其人民是什么样的。”其后又说“从其他渠道获得的二手信息与这样得到的是多么的不同”,可见答案C最贴切,A不够确切。
