三、阅读理解
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Every culture around the world has different customs and ways of communicating. When you learn a language, you learn more than words.
In China, people always say “sorry” to show that they regret(后悔) doing something wrong. But American people are very proud of having polite manners towards one another in public. They often use the word “sorry” — even when they don’t really mean it! Usually, if they want to ask a stranger for the time, they will start by saying “Sorry to trouble you.” If they’re five minutes late for the appointment, they will greet the person by saying “Sorry, I’m late!” Americans use the word “sorry” in so many different situations that the meaning of the word changes a little over time. The two main dictionary definitions(定义) of “sorry” are: 1) feeling sad for someone else because of their problems or bad luck; 2) feeling regret because you did something wrong.
So what does “sorry” really mean? And why do western people use it so much? Well, in western culture, saying “sorry” is a way to be polite. It’s also a very clever way to get what they want. If you want to borrow something from others, you’d better start by saying something like “Sorry to trouble you” to them. Or it’s hard for you to get what you want. So maybe saying “sorry” is not only a way to be polite, but also a good method to get what you want!
