仔细阅读下列短文, 根据题目, 选出最佳选项. People often say that an Englishman's home is his castle (城堡). They mean that the home is very important and personal. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than in flats (公寓), and own their homes. They can paint and change them in any way they like. In a crowded city everyone knows that he or she has private space which is only for himself or herself and for inviting friends. People usually like to mark (做标记) their space. Are you sitting on a beach or a train or in a library？ If you are on the beach you may have spread(撒) your sands around you; on the train you may have put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may have one corner or chair which is your own. Once I was traveling on a train to London. I was in a section (区域) for four people and there was a table between us. The man opposite me had his bag on the table. There was no space on my side of the table at all. I was made rather angry. Maybe he thought that he owned the whole table! I took some newspapers out of my bag and put them on his. When I did this he sat up straight at once, opening his eyes wide. I had invaded (侵占) his space! A few minutes later I took my newspapers off his bag in order to read them. He at once moved his bag to his side of the table.

原文翻译：
人们经常说一个英格兰人的家就是他的城堡.他们认为家是非常重要和私人的.大多数英国人住在房子里而非公寓而且很多人拥有自己的家.这意味着他们的房子是个人的,他们可以随自己喜好改装房子.在拥挤的城市里,这个人知道他或她有一个只属于他或她自己的可以用来邀请朋友的私人空间.人们通常喜欢给自己的空间做标记.你现在是否正坐在家中或是在海滩上或是在火车上?如果你在海滩上,你可能在你的周围拜访了许多毛巾.如果你在火车上,你可能把你的外套或是包包放在了你旁边的座位上.如果你在图书馆里,你可能把你的书放在你的旁边.
有一次我乘火车去伦敦.我坐在一个四个人的小包厢里,在我们中间有一张桌子.坐在我对面的那个人把他的公文包放到了桌子上.这使得桌子上靠我这面完全没有地方了.我很不高兴.我觉得他认为整张桌子都是他的.我那阵子在读一本关于非语言交流的书,所以我从我的包里拿出了几份报纸并把它们放到了他的公文包上.我这么做时他一下就愤怒了,他的眼睛几乎要从脑袋上蹦出来.仿佛我占了他的地方!几分钟后,我拿起报纸来读.他很迅速的就把他的公文包挪到了桌子靠他那面.
