The Olympic Games李仕才一、閱讀理解When I was in college, I spent a semester studying abroad at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland. In my brief time there, I came to love Scotland for its local culture, food and scenery.You might think：“Scotland isnt so different from the US.; they still speak English there！” But when I stepped off the plane, I was greeted by a gruff­voiced(聲音粗啞的) lady at customs. “Youll be coming from America, then？” She asked me, and I nodded. “But all of our guys are leaving Glasgow for the States！” Her thick Scottish English and sense of humor were obvious right away. I was not in the US. any more, where customs agents never joke around.As I settled in at the university, I could feel myself getting used to hearingand even speakingthe Scottish English of my customs agent. In classroom discussions, people would say “em” when they couldnt think of what to say instead of “um”， which was great fun. After the first few weeks, I stopped chuckling about this. Strathclyde students stayed up late into the night, running around campus and shouting, “Go! Lats go, lats go(curse word) Glasgow！” Pretty soon, I was no longer saying “thanks” at the supermarketinstead, I said “cheers”My Scottish friends drank whiskey and ate haggis(羊雜碎布丁). I drank plenty of whiskey but I was ashamed to admit that I wasnt brave enough to try haggis. Scottish bakeries usually sell bridies(肉餡餅). Add a cup of teathough I usually Americanized it by choosing coffee insteadand a bridie makes for a delicious breakfast.Every time I took a train anywhere in Scotland, Id gaze out at the rolling hills and wonder if grass was greener than anywhere else in the world. Then Id reflect that theres a reason this country was the birthplace of golf.【解題導語】本文介紹了“我”在蘇格蘭學習期間的體驗：居民友好，食物獨特，景色優(yōu)美，蘇格蘭英語與美式英語有區(qū)別。1What did the author think of the lady at customs?AImpolite.BFriendly.CSerious.DCalm.B解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的“Her thick Scottish English and sense of humor were obvious right away.
