Bad weather, bad food, and grumpy (脾气暴躁的) people. That’s what seems to come to mind first when some people think about Britain. Many online commentators even joke that Britons are so grumpy【B1】______because it constantly rains and they are always hungry.
But British pessimism isn’t just a fanciful claim—there’s【B2】______to support this notion.Last year, a national Ipsos Mori poll found that more than 60 percent of【B3】______believed the UK was getting worse as a place to live and that it was unlikely that today’s youth would have a better life than their parents. An obvious reason for such pessimism is the 2008 global economic crisis, which the UK is still【B4】______.Yet, many believe that Britons are inherently【B5】______,in contrast to their neighbors across the Atlantic Ocean.
"The big difference is the Americans are more【B6】______.And that’s due to the fact that Americans are told they can become the next president of the United States," British co median Ricky Gervais said. "British people are told it won’t happen to you. And they carry that. They carry that with them. We champion the underdog (失败者)." It’s【B7】______that Britons’ reputation of having a "stiff upper lip"—being cold and not showing any emotion—【B8】______them.
Britain’s reputation as a grumpy country may, however, simply be the result of a cultural misun¬derstanding. British actor Michael Caine once said, "I think what is British about me is my feelings and【B9】______of others and their situations. English people are always known to be well-mannered and cold, but we are not cold—we don’t【B10】______your situation." [br] 【B4】
