When a stranger is at present, he often seems nervous,【C2】______ embarrassed. You have to take a commuter train any morning or evening to 【C3】______ 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. 【C4】______ there is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior which,【C5】______ broken, makes the offender immediately the object of 【C6】______ .

"Beautiful!" may well be heard instead of "Good morning, how are you?"【C17】______ the foreigner may consider this exaggerated and comic, it is worthwhile pointing out that it could be used to his advantage. 【C18】______ he wants to start a conversation with a British but is 【C19】______ to know where to begin, he could do well to mention the state of the weather, k is a safe subject which will【C20】______ an answer from even the most reserved of the British.
