Jeremy from America cannot understand why a lady he met outside the Hyde Park in London said, “Ooh, isn’t

it cold?”, and he thinks of this behaviour as a distinctively English concern about the weather. In fact, the female

was just trying to strike up a conversation with Jeremy. Not necessarily a long conversation — just an exchange of

greetings. It is not always quite that obvious, but all English weather conversations have a distinctive structure

conducted according to unwritten but accepted rules.

The unpredictable nature of our weather ensures that there is always something new to comment on, or

perhaps most importantly, agree about. We have already established that weather-speak greetings like “Cold, isn’t

it?” require the response expressing agreement, as in “Yes, isn’t it?” .It would be very rude to respond with “No,

actually it’s quite mild.” or “It’s pretty hot to me.” If you deliberately break the rule, you will find that the

atmosphere becomes rather tense and awkward. There may be an uncomfortable silence. Most likely, they will

either change the subject or continue talking about the weather among themselves politely, if coldly, ignoring your

faux pas.

There is, however, one situation in which English weather-speakers are not required to observe the agreement

rule at all and that is the male-bonding argument, particularly the pub-argument. In the special environment of the

pub, constant disagreement not just on the weather, but on everything else as well is a means of expressing

friendship.

While we may spend much of our time complaining about our weather, foreigners are not allowed to criticize

it. Indeed, this brings us to the weather as family rule. In this respect, we treat the English weather like a member of

our family: one can complain about the behavior of one’s own children or parents, but any blame from an outsider

is unacceptable. The weather may be one of the few things about which the English are still unconsciously and

unashamedly patriotic （爱国的）.

4. Why did the lady comment on the weather to Jeremy?

A. To build up friendship.

B. To begin a casual chat.

C. To send seasonal greetings.

D. To express dissatisfaction.

5. What does the underlined phrase “faux pas” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Improper response.
