* Unit 3　Could you please tell me where the restrooms are? Section B　语篇训练 一、阅读理解。(2016，金华)(阿凡题：1074165) If you meet a British person in the street，it is very likely that he or she will apologize whether it is his or her fault(过错) or not. It seems that Britain is becoming a nation where everyone is saying sorry.Almost each person says sorry about eight times each day－and one in eight people apologizes as many as 20 times a day. As you may have seen，the British apologize more often than members of other cultures.A research shows that in many cases，peoples love of saying sorry in Britain goes a little further than it does for Americans.For example，about 15 British people would say “sorry” while only 10 from the US would do this if they sneezed，if they corrected someones mistake or if someone knocked into them. In the old days，“sorry” was used to express regret and sadness for having done something wrong.But now British people use the expression as a way of showing good manners.For example，they might say “sorry” instead of “excuse me”，“pardon”，“what” or “whatever”． People in Britain also use sorry when they share the same feeling with others—so they might say “sorry about the rain”． However，British peoples use of “sorry” may make things very confusing(迷惑不清) and difficult for foreigners who are not familiar with their ways.But actually，people in Britain pay much attention to the feelings of others.This is the very reason why they apologize every day. 1．What does the passage mainly talk about？____ A．What daily expressions British people often use.
