六、核心素养 语言能力 阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题。
主题群:人际沟通 子主题:人际沟通 语篇类型:说明文 难度:★★
British people don't like to say “No.” because they think it is impolite, but this can be a problem for people from other countries. When you learn English, you learn to say things like “Yes, please.” and “No, thank you.” when somebody asks you if you want anything. But real life is not always so simple.
When you offer(提供) something to British people, they often say “I'm all right, thanks.”. When they say this, they mean that they already have everything they need, so it is a way to say “No.”. Unfortunately, saying “all right” is also a way to say “Yes.”. The same phrase can be used in different ways to mean both “Yes.” and “No.”.
Mike works in a tourist shop. “British people are difficult customers,” he says. “If you offer something to them, they will say ‘Maybe later.’, even when they never plan to buy it.”
“Saying ‘Yes.’ is not much better,” he says. “When they want to buy something, they sometimes don't say ‘Yes.’. They say ‘Sure.’ or ‘Why not?’. It's so confusing!”
1. Why don't British people like to say “No.”?

2. What do British people often say to refuse(拒绝) an offer?

3. Where does Mike work?

4. What does a British person mean by saying “Maybe later.”?

5. What do you think of the British people's ways of refusing?

1. Because they think it is impolite. 2. They often say "I'm all right, thanks.". 3. In a tourist shop. 4. He or she doesn't want to buy a thing. 5. It's polite.
（言之有理即可）
