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.

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] 【B1】
