So just as the saying goes,"When in Rome,do as the Romans do."It is a good idea to learn about their ta- ble manners. 听下面一段对话，回答第13至第15三个小题。 M:Hello,Chen Fang.Welcome back to school.How long did you stay in England?

I know it's good 58 to offer the seat to the old when I am in China.59 I stood up and said to the man,"Sir, would you like to take my seat?"To my surprise,the man smiled,60 his head and said,"Thank you."He didn't accept my offer.I felt very 61 and wondered why he did not accept the seat,as most 62 elderly people would. When I got home,I was told that if the man had taken the seat,it would have meant he was old.Most westerners of a certain age don't want 63 to think they are old.So I made a mistake that day,even 64 I meant to be polite.Thus I got to know about a 65 difference between China and western countries. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 第二节阅读短文，根据语篇要求填空，使短文通顺、意思完 整。每空限填一词。 Most Chinese people like drinking tea.In fact,tea is the second popular drink after water.66 are many kinds of tea in China like black tea and green tea.
