They show public toilets. But do you know it is far from elegant (优雅的) English? In fact, foreigners from English-speaking countries rarely use the letters.Workers in our city are changing “WC” signs all over the city. The government is spending much money changing all the bad English on signs and restaurant menus. Many other places in China are following our steps.“WC, or water closet, is old-fashioned English. It sounds dirty to me,” says Charlie Shifflet, a young man from the US. The old sign will become “Gents/Men” and “Ladies/Women”.“I see lots of poor English in everyday life, and not only on signs,” he says. “I know what they mean. But they are Chinglish, not real English. For example, when someone says to me My hometown is Henan Province, I know he should say: My hometown is in Henan Province. Hometown is a smaller place in a province.” The common mistakes he picked up include “Not Entry”, which should be “No Entry”, “Direction of Airport” should be changed to “To the Airport”. And it is “room rate”, not “room price”. And remember to “Keep off the grass”, rather than “Care of the green”.36 . What does the writer think of the use of “WC”?AHe doesnt think it means water closet.BHe doesnt think it old-fashioned English.CHe doesnt think it proper for a sign.37 .

However, a new study says it might not be true, reported The Guardian.The study was done by Jonathan Freeman, a psychology(心理学) professor from the University of London, UK. He found that 98 percent of British people consider themselves to be among the nicest 50 percent of the population.In the study, Freeman first asked some people to rate(评级) their own niceness. Then he got people to answer questions like Do you give directions to strangers? and Have you ever donated blood?. The results showed that people are not as nice as they think they are. Two thirds of them seldom helped others carry heavy shopping bags, and only a quarter of them donated blood. In another study by psychologists from universities in Chicago and Virginia, US, some people were shown pictures of themselves. Some pictures had been slightly changed to make them appear more attractive. When asked to pick the unchanged pictures, people usually chose the more attractive ones.So, why do we think were nicer than we actually are?There are many theories(理论). A popular one says we unconsciously(无意识地) deceive(欺骗) ourselves, so that we can get confidence without knowingly lying to ourselves or each other.How can we solve it? Other studies show that there is a simple way: feedback(反馈). Compare others opinion toward yourself with your own and you will see a clearer picture.Title：69 . nice you are Most people s Opinion70 . people think more of their good qualities Two studiesBy the UK71 . 98% people in 72 . think they are nice.Things to do*Rate their own 73 . .*Answer some questions.ResultsPeople are 74 . nice than they think.By the USAThings to do*Shown pictures of their 75 . .*Asked to pick the unchanged pictures.ResultsIt s 76 . that people chose the more attractive pictures.77 .
