Question

閱讀短文，根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在短文后圖表中的空格里填入一個恰當?shù)膯卧~。

Some people believe that your nationality can influence your personality. This is why you might hear someone saying “She is a typical(典型的) Australian” or “He is so French”. It seems that people from a certain country share certain similar characteristics.

French

French people are often seen as romantic and outgoing people with a great love for life, food and wine. They are good at singing and dancing.

Chinese

Chinese are friendly people who are hard-working. They are polite because they are careful about “saving face” when dealing with other people.

Australians

Australians are merry people who spend a lot of time outdoors. They enjoy a slower life. They laugh a lot but sometimes people think they are loud and rude.

Germans

Germans are often described as being serious and careful. They are hard workers and pay a lot of attention to details. However, sometimes people say Germans have no sense of humour.

All these national types can be true for some people, but very wrong for others. For example, you might meet a German who is a confident singer with a great sense of humour, or an Australian who is shy and quiet.!

【解析】短文屬于議論文。作者認為國籍影響人的性格，并以法、中、澳、德四個國家人們的共同性格做了例證。

 從第一段最后一句，可知。

 從French這段的第一句，可知。

 從French這段的第三句，可知。此處跟singers對應，使用名詞復數(shù)形式。   

 右側(cè)對應內(nèi)容是中國人的特點。   

 跟“saving face”相反，怕丟面子。

 從Australians這段的第一句，可知。   

 從Australians這段的第三句，可知。     

 從Germans這段的第二句，可知。    

 從Germans這段的第三句，“have no sense of humour”可知；這里使用形容詞形式，與前面保持一致。

 從短文第一句可知，使用influence；從最后一段，可知本句表達的意思。
