I was on a camping holiday with my parents and my mother had recently read an article in a woman's magazine which described the symptoms which are desperate thirst and also urinating a lot. AnD... er... because we were camping, my mother filled up the water buckets for the morning the night before and,., er... she realized one morning that she'd filled two 2-gallon buckets and found only half a bucket left in the morning, so I'd drunk 3 gallons of water during the night and of course urinated it all out as well. It was quite soggy round the tent!
Interviewer: Good heavens! And did you feel iii?
Richard: Yeah, you feel really iii, you feel like very thirsty, really thirsty and sweating a lot and just tired lethargic, you can't do anything.
Interviewer: So she then took you off to the doctor, did she?

Interviewer: And how old were you when all this happened?
Richard: I was five and one halF.
Interviewer: So are those symptoms common? Is that what everybody suffers from? This thirst?

And it's insulin that.., erm... enables your body to use the sugar, and so if you haven't got enough, the sugar builds up in tile blood and you actually get.., well, in fact you get dehydrated really and the only way your body can get rid of the sugar is to send it out through the kidneys, through the urinE.So you send out loads and loads of urine and so you get this awful thirst and so that..., that' s usually the first symptoms, especially with somebody young, you know, who's going to actually need insulin.
Interviewer: So what's the treatment now for diabetes?

The English, as a race, are very different from all other nationalities, including their closest neighbors, the French, Belgians and Dutch. It is claimed that living on an island separated from the rest of Europe has much to do with it. Whatever the reasons, it may be fairly stated that the Englishman has developed many attitudes and habits which distinguish him from other nationalities.Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a quiet, shy, reserved person who is fully relaxed only among people he knows well. In the presence of strangers or foreigners she often seems inhibited, even embarrasseD.You have only to witness a city train any morning or evening to see the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or having a light sleep in a corner; no one speaks. In fact, to do so would seem most unusual. An Englishman, pretending to be giving advice to overseas visitors, once suggested, 'On entering a railway carriage shake hands with all the passengers.' Needless to say, he was not being serious. There is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior. which, if broken, makes the person immediately suspect.In many parts of the world it is quite normal to show openly extremes of enthusiasm, emotion, excitement, etc, often accompanied by appropriate gestures. The Englishman is somewhat different. Of course, an Englishman feels no less deeply than any other nationality, but he tends to display his feelings far less. This is reflected in his use of languagE.Imagine a man commenting on the great beauty of a young girl. Whereas a more emotional man might describe her as 'an excellent jewel', 'extremely beautiful', 'precious', the Englishman will flatly state 'Urn, she's all right'. An Englishman who has seen a highly successful and enjoyable film recommends it to a friend by commenting, 'It's not bad, you know,' or on seeing very unusual scenery he might convey his pleasure by saying, 'Nice, yes, very nicE.' The overseas visitor must not be disappointed by this apparent lack of interest and involvement; he must realize that 'all right', 'not had', and 'nice', very often have the sense of 'first- class', 'excellent', 'beautiful'. This special use of language, particularly common in England, is known as restrained statement.From the passage people can infer that the English are different from other nationalities mainly in ______.A.tasteB.characterC.the principle of behaviorD.all aspects
