Tasting international food is one of the greatest joys of traveling. But as a visitor to a new country, you may worry that you don’t know table manners when you eat out. Let’s look at common restaurant customs in the following countries.

France

In France, it is important to be on time for your restaurant booking. Greet the waiter politely; never shout loudly to get his attention. You should order your own main dish, as it’s considered impolite to share one dish. Although it is uncommon to take home leftovers (残羹剩饭), a new law requires that larger restaurants allow it if asked.

Italy

At a typical Italian restaurant, a waiter will seat you. It’s fine to share food, but don’t make any special requests when ordering a dish, like asking to add no onions. However, if you happen to have any dietary restrictions (饮食限制), they can usually meet your needs. Try to finish all your food and do not ask to take home leftovers.

Thailand

At a formal meal, it’s certain that you’ll be told where to sit. Get your waiter’s attention by waving your hand.

Like Italian restaurants, sharing food is perfectly fine. If you’re with a group, the older women usually order dishes for the table.

When you go to these countries, armed with this knowledge. Then your trip will be full of delicious food and good table manners.

16. In which country should you NOT share your dish with others?

A. France. B. Italy. C. Thailand. D. China.

17. Which of the following is TRUE?

Alfred Traeger was an engineer who invented the pedal (踏板) radio for the Flying Doctor Service. This helped people communicate with each other all over the outback (澳大利亚内陆地区).

Alfred Traeger was born in Dimboola, Australia on 2nd August 1895. When he was twelve years old, Traeger made a telephone receiver. He was always interested in engineering, and his hobby was working with radios. John Flynn asked Traeger to invent a simple radio for the Flying Doctor Service. At the time, many people in the outback could not communicate with a hospital because they were far away from telephone lines.

Traeger’s job was to develop a radio that was both a transmitter and a receiver, meaning it could both send a message and receive a message. The radio had to be small, easy to use and cheap enough for outback people to buy. Traeger carried out experiments and set up a small radio network connected to Alice Springs which is in the outback.

Traeger also had to work out how to produce the power to run the radio. He developed a machine that was turned by hand, but the radio needed both hands to run it, too. He came up with a simple and cheap way. He used bicycle pedals to produce power, leaving the hands free. Pedal radios were used by the Flying Doctor Service, neighbors and friends who could now communicate socially, and the School of the Air, which brought education to children all over the world.
