When my fi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rst wartime(战争时期) Christmas came, I was in a new soldier school in Ashlartd and not sure if I could make it home for the holidays. On the afternoon of December 23 we were told some of us would have three-day holidays. I was one of the lucky soldiers.
It was Chri ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )stmas Eve when I arrived, and a light snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see over her, into the comer of the living-room where the tree had always stood. There were lights, all colours, shining in the green of the tree.
"Where did it come from " I asked.
"I asked ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the gate boy to cut it," my mother said, "I wouldn't have had one just for myself, but when called. Oh! Such a rush! He just brought it in this afternoon."
The tree ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )was almost as tall as the room, and the Tree Top Star was in its place.

"It's not ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )like the one you want to find," my mother went on. "Yours were always in good shape. I think the gate boy didn't know where to look for a better one."

"An English ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )man, even if he is alone, forms an orderly queue(队伍) of one," wrote a famous British author, George Mikes. While this sounds funny, it's a popular English stereotype(刻板印象). From the supermarket to the subway, queues are a common sight on the streets of Britain.
Here ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) in China, queues are normal, too. It is a part of everyday life. People queue most of the time, from buying tickets in the cinema to waiting for seats at a restaurant. But in certain situations, you'll find yourself in the middle of a rushing crowd, such as getting onto the subway. Even away from the busy subway platform, queues are different.
One day I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) was standing in line at the supermarket. I left a small space in front of me. Within seconds, a girl walked by and took her place in that small space. I was surprised at first, but later I found these experiences very interesting. It is with these small, everyday differences that I get to live and learn in a new culture.
Back ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) in Britain, the person spends about six months of their life waiting in a queue, according to the auction site MadBid. To pass the time, maybe they tell themselves the famous proverb: Good things come to those who wait.
75. From the pass ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )age, we know that the English are famous for .
A. being rude and loud
B. traveling on subways
C. forming an orderly queue
D. standing in line at the supermarket
76. How did the writer feel when the girl jumped the queue
A. From annoyed to calm. B. From calm to angry.
C. From surprised to interested. D. From shocked to angry.
77. The passage is mainly about .
A. comparing queuing in two cultures
B. praising the English for good manners
C. calling on people in China to queue more
D. explaining why people rush in some situations
