完形填空。

When I was in Germany, one day at Christmas-time I went to a post office to send a letter. To my   1   I found people queuing (排队) some paces away from the person at the saving deposit window.   2   so? Each did his business   3   but the line never moved a step   4  . I was very   5  , so I walked to the window to find out the cause. There was a notice on which was written "Thank you for your   6   for other's privacy (隐私)" -a polite   7   to keep people away from interfering into other's   8   (money matters are regarded as privacy in Western countries). I was deeply impressed by the   9   and stayed a while to watch: they were waiting so  10  at a distance that they seemed quite  11  to the practice. The  12  thing happened at a public telephone box.  13  waiting for their turns always kept their distance-enough to be out of  14 . It's another typical example!      From then on I  15  to watch their ways of doing things, manners, treatment  16  towards others. I found the Germans always mindful of other's privacy. They avoided putting others in an embarrassing (窘迫) situation. For instance, they never  17  about age, incomes or the place to buy such a coat,  18  would they comment on the others or jewelry others wore. Their laws  19  reading diaries or opening letters without permission. That shows  20  matters are not allowed to be disturbed.
