问题     In Western Cultures you don’t open a closed door without
knocking, unless it is your own or one clearly in a public place. Or【M1】______
do you enter a private house without first being asked to come in. In
many countries where much of daily life is carried on outside people’s
houses, a stranger doesn’t do so if he knows his manner. He stops【M2】______
just at the edge of the village, where he can be seen and heard. He
coughs once or twice to attract attention for his presence. He then【M3】______
sits down to wait until the appropriate person approaches to greet
him and to invite him to enter the village.
    Most Westerners consider it bad manners to stare at people, but
a few of them are aware of the fine points of seeing and not seeing【M4】______
that are a part of the behavior patterns in many societies. Unexpected
visitors to Japanese home may be ignored by the host as he leaves【M5】______
the room to prepare himself to receive the guests.
    In almost all societies there are patterns of behavior connecting【M6】______
with the giving and receiving of gifts, and there are occasions which【M7】______
gift giving becomes for all practical purposes necessary. In many
societies, hosts present gifts to arrived guests, who give gifts in return,【M8】______
or the procedure may be reversed, with the guest offering the first
gift. It may be extremely important that a return gift is as good as or【M9】______
better than the one received, but on no circumstances should it be【M10】______
given in such a way as to appear to be a payment. [br] 【M4】

选项

答案 a→去掉a

解析 语篇错误。a few表示肯定意义“一些,几个”,而few表示否定意义“不多,没几个”。前文表明“大多数西方人认为盯着人看是不礼貌的行为”,这里but表示转折,因此后面顺理成章地应采用表示否定意义的few,与前文的most形成对比。
