Jeremy frm America cannt understand why a lady he met utside the Hyde Park in Lndn said，“Oh, isn't it cld？” and he thinks f this behaviur as a distinctively English cncern abut the weather. In fact, the female was just trying t strike up a cnversatin with Jeremy. Nt necessarily a lng cnversatin—just an exchange f greetings. It is nt always quite that bvius, but all English weather cnversatins have a distinctive structure cnducted accrding t unwritten but accepted rules.
The unpredictable nature f ur weather ensures that there is always smething new t cmment n, r perhaps mst imprtantly, agree abut. We have already established that weather­speak greetings like “Cld, isn't it？” require the respnse expressing agreement，as in “Yes, isn't it？”It wuld be very rude t respnd with “N，actually it's quite mild. ” r “It's pretty ht t me.” If yu deliberately break the rule, yu will find that the atmsphere becmes rather tense and awkward. There may be an uncmfrtable silence. Mst likely, they will either change the subject r cntinue talking abut the weather amng themselves plitely, if cldly, ignring yur faux pas．
There is, hwever, ne situatin in which English weather­speakers are nt required t bserve the agreement rule at all and that is the male­bnding argument, particularly the pub­argument. In the special envirnment f the pub, cnstant disagreement nt just n the weather, but n everything else as well—is a means f expressing friendship.
While we may spend much f ur time cmplaining abut ur weather, freigners are nt allwed t criticize it. Indeed, this brings us t the weather as family rule. In this respect, we treat the English weather like a member f ur family: ne can cmplain abut the behavir f ne's wn children r parents, but any blame frm an utsider is unacceptable. The weather may be ne f the few things abut which the English are still uncnsciusly and unashamedly patritic (爱国的)．

4．What is the best title fr this text?
