【导语】本文主要介绍了拥有良好礼仪的重要性以及应有的良好礼仪表现。
1.句意:他们有利于我们与他人相处融洽。这源于短语be good for...意为“有益的”。故填for。

6.句意:学习良好的餐桌礼仪也是必要的。这使用了“It is necessary (for sb.) to do sth.”这一结构,因此空处用learn的动词不定式。故填to learn。
7.句意:遵守这些规则很重要。这使用了“It is important (for sb.) to do sth.”这一结构, 因此空处用follow的动词不定式。故填to follow。
8.句意:有礼貌有助于我们交到更多的朋友。当动词作句子的主语时,它采用“-ing”形式(动名词),have的动名词为having,首字母大写。故填Having。

Dear Laura,
Thanks for your message. Yes, I’m having a great time on my exchange programme in France. I was a bit nervous before I arrived here, but there was no reason to be. My host family is really nice.
They try their best 1 (make) me feel at home. The grandmother has a teenage granddaughter at about 2 (I) age who is really kind. She always talks to me in French to help me practise. And you wouldn’t believe how quickly my French has 3 (improve)! I’m very comfortable speaking French now. Though I still make lots of 4 (mistake), it doesn’t worry me as it used to.
My biggest challenge is learning how to behave at the dinner table. 5 you can imagine, things are really different from the way they are at home. For example, you shouldn’t put your bread on your plate. You 6 (suppose) to put it on the table! I thought that was pretty strange 7 first, but now I’m used to it. You shouldn’t eat anything with your hands except bread, not even fruit. You have to cut it up and eat it with a fork. Another thing is that it is very 8 (polite) to say you’re full. If you don’t want any more food, you should just say, “It was delicious.” Also, you shouldn’t put your elbows on the table. I have to say that I find it difficult to remember everything, but I’m 9 (gradual) getting used to it. I don’t find French customs so strange any more.
I’ll write again soon and tell you more about my life in France. Hope you are having 10 good school year.
Yours,
Lin Yue

【导语】本文主要讲述了作者林月向朋友劳拉讲述了自己在法国交换生项目中的经历和感受,重点描述了在寄宿家庭的生活以及法国餐桌礼仪的文化差异。
1.句意:他们尽他们最大的努力让我感觉像在家一样。根据“try their best”可知,此处考查固定搭配try one’s best to do sth.,意为“尽某人最大努力做某事”,所以此处应填动词不定式to make。故填to make。
2.句意:祖母有一个和我年龄相仿的十几岁的孙女,她非常善良。根据“age”可知,此处指“我的年龄”,应用形容词性物主代词my“我的”,修饰名词“age”。故填my。
3.句意:你不会相信我的法语进步得有多快!根据“has”可知,此处是现在完成时,其结构为“have/has+动词的过去分词”,improve的过去分词是improved。故填improved。
4.句意:虽然我仍然会犯很多错误,但这并不像以前那样让我担心。根据“lots of”可知,此处应用名词复数形式,mistake的复数形式是mistakes。故填mistakes。
5.句意:正如你所想象的,事情和在家里的方式真的很不一样。根据“you can imagine”可知,此处指“正如你所想象的”,as you can imagine“正如你想象的”,故填As。
6.句意:你应该把它放在桌子上!根据“You...to put it on the table!”可知,此处考查固定搭配be supposed to do sth.,意为“应该做某事”,句子是一般现在时,主语是You,be动词用are。故填are supposed。
7.句意:起初我觉得那很奇怪,但现在我已经习惯了。根据“first”可知,此处考查固定搭配at first,意为“起初”。故填at。
8.句意:另一件事是说自己吃饱了是非常不礼貌的。根据“If you don’t want any more food, you should just say, ‘It was delicious.’”可知,此处指说吃饱了是不礼貌的,应用polite的反义词impolite“不礼貌的”作表语。故填impolite。
9.句意:我不得不说,我发现要记住一切很困难,但我正在逐渐习惯它。根据“getting used to it”可知,此处应用副词修饰动词短语get used to,gradual的副词形式是gradually。故填gradually。
10.句意:希望你有一个好的学年。根据“good school year”可知,此处指一个好的学年,good是以辅音音素开头的单词,应用不定冠词a表示泛指。故填a。

In many Asian countries, it is normal for people to eat with chopsticks. However, there are some rules about how to use them 1 (proper). Firstly, don’t stick your chopsticks into food. That is very 2 (polite) and even considered unlucky in some cultures. Secondly, don’t pull dishes close to you with your chopsticks. It is 3 (proper) to reach for food. Thirdly, don’t point at others with your chopsticks or wave them around when you talk. It is seen as 4 (friendly) and rude. 5 (last) but not least, hold your chopsticks correctly. Using chopsticks looks easy, but it can actually be a little 6 (challenge). Many people feel 7 (confuse) at first, because there are many rules to remember. Some people even feel 8 (embarrass) when they drop food or use chopsticks the wrong way. But don’t worry. With practice, you will get better. The key is to keep trying. It’s 9 (common) to make mistakes when learning something new. Soon, you’ll find that using chopsticks is not as difficult as you think.

3.句意:其次,不要用筷子把餐盘拉到自己面前。伸手去够食物是不合礼仪的。考查形容词反义词,固定句型It is+形容词+to do sth.。proper意为 “合适的、合乎礼仪的”,结合筷子礼仪常识,直接伸手够饭菜是不礼貌的,需用反义词improper。
4.句意:这被视为不友好且粗鲁的。根据“用筷子指别人或说话时挥舞筷子是不礼貌的”可知,此处需用friendly的反义词unfriendly。
5.句意:最后但同样重要的是,要正确握筷子。根据固定短语“last but not least(最后但同样重要的是)” 可知,此处需用last,句首单词首字母需大写。
6.句意:使用筷子看起来容易,但实际上可能有点有挑战性。根据“a little后接形容词”可知,challenge的形容词形式是challenging,表示 “有挑战性的”。

8.句意:有些人掉食物或用错筷子方式时甚至会感到尴尬。根据“feel后接形容词修饰人”可知,embarrass修饰人时用embarrassed,表示“感到尴尬的”。
9.句意:学习新事物时犯错是很常见的。根据“学习新事物犯错是正常现象”可知,此处用形容词common 表示 “常见的、普遍的”。
10.句意:了解世界各地不同的餐桌礼仪是很有趣的。根据“It’s后接形容词修饰事物”可知,interest修饰事物时用interesting,表示 “有趣的”。

Though I soon 8 to get used to it, I still had problems because they used a lot of idioms (俗语). For example, they often say they are “under the weather” when they are ill.

三、阅读理解
Nowadays, people usually shake hands when they meet each other. Do the Chinese always greet others like this? In fact, handshaking was introduced to our country around 100 years ago.
There were several kinds of greeting etiquette in ancient China. Among them the fist and palm salute (拱手礼) was a quite common one, with a history of about 3,000 years. It was first used by people in the western Zhou Dynasty. In ancient (古代的) times, if people met a stranger, their hands were always ready to hold something used for fighting. Holding out both hands could make people feel relaxed.
When people meet, men usually use their left hand to hold the right one. It’s believed that people considered (认为) the left as the important side for men in Chinese history. While for women, the important side is the right. So when they give the fist and palm salute, they should put their right hand on the top. When someone presents the fist and palm salute to you, you are supposed to do it back as well.
In many wuxia or kung fu TV series and movies, people greet each other with the hold-fist salute, or baoquan in Chinese. The gesture (手势) is that the right hand is made a fist, while the left hand is to cover the right fist. It’s similar to the fist and palm salute, but they are different. Baoquan is widely used among kung fu masters and students. So, don’t make a mistake.
1.What does the underlined word “etiquette” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Need. B.Manners. C.Time. D.Groups.
2.Which picture shows the correct way for women to do the fist-and-palm salute?
A. B. C. D.
3.If Mike wants to do the hold-fist salute, he should ________.
A.keep his right hand open B.cover the right fist with his left hand
C.use his left hand to hold the right one D.put his right hand on the top
4.What can we learn from the passage?
A.There are no standards (标准) for these two salutes.
B.The fist-and-palm salute is more common in kung fu.
C.Now, people celebrate one’s birthday with the hold-fist salute.
D.These two salutes seem similar, but they are quite different.
【答案】1.B 2.A 3.B 4.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了中国古代的问候礼仪,重点阐述了“拱手礼”和“抱拳礼”两种手势的历史渊源、具体做法及适用人群的差异。
1.根据第二段“There were several kinds of greeting etiquette in ancient China. Among them the fist and palm salute was a quite common one...”,该句介绍中国古代的问候方式,后文具体描述拱手礼的做法,因此“etiquette”意为“礼仪、规矩”,与“Manners”同义。
2.根据第三段“While for women, the important side is the right. So when they give the fist and palm salute, they should put their right hand on the top.” ,文章明确指出女性行拱手礼时“右手在上”,因此正确图片应显示右手覆盖左手。
3.根据第四段“The gesture is that the right hand is made a fist, while the left hand is to cover the right fist.” ,文章直接说明抱拳礼的做法是“右手握拳,左手包住右拳”,因此Mike应该用左手盖住右拳。C项描述的是男性拱手礼,D项描述的是女性拱手礼,均不符合。
4.根据第四段“It’s similar to the fist and palm salute, but they are different.”,文章明确指出两种礼仪“相似但不同”,与D选项完全一致。A项错误,因为文章详细说明了标准;B项错误,抱拳礼在功夫中更常见;C项错误,文章未提及生日庆祝。
Good manners are the basic sign of a person’s quality, and they matter greatly in our everyday school life. As middle school students, we stay at school nearly half of our day, learning knowledge, communicating with teachers and getting along with classmates. Therefore, keeping polite and proper behaviour is not only a personal habit, but also an important part of growing up.
Respect for teachers is one of the most basic school manners. We should listen attentively in class, follow teachers’ guidance and never interrupt while someone is speaking. Whenever we meet teachers in the hallway, on the playground or at the school gate, a warm greeting is always a small but meaningful way to show our respect.
Getting on well with classmates also requires good manners. We should be honest, friendly and ready to give a hand when our classmates fall behind in study or meet personal troubles. It is rude and unkind to laugh at others’ mistakes or shortcomings. We should learn to understand and respect differences, and avoid quarrelling over little unimportant things.
We also need to follow public rules on campus. Keep quiet in the library to create a peaceful study environment. Do not run, push or shout in hallways, for it may cause danger. Take good care of school public property and green plants, and never leave rubbish anywhere at will.
A student with good manners can always win trust and respect from people around them. Good behaviour shapes a better self, and makes our school a more harmonious place to study and live.
1.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.How to study well at school B.The importance and rules of school manners
C.How to get along with teachers D.Ways to get good grades at school
2.Which of the following is polite behaviour at school?
A.Talking casually in class B.Laughing at helpless classmates
C.Greeting teachers politely D.Running and shouting in the hallway
3.What should we do when our classmates meet difficulties?
A.Laugh at them B.Refuse to help them C.Offer help to them D.Keep away from them
4.What behaviour should we avoid in the school library?
A.Keeping quiet B.Reading books carefully C.Talking loudly D.Taking notes quietly
5.Which action is NOT proper according to the passage?
A.Protecting school plants B.Throwing rubbish casually
C.Being polite to teachers D.Getting on well with classmates
【答案】1.B 2.C 3.C 4.C 5.B

When you are invited to a formal dinner party in England, it is necessary to follow some proper social and table manners. Firstly, you are supposed to arrive on time. It is not polite to arrive too early or much too late. If you find you will be more than 15 minutes late, you should give the host a quick call ahead of time to explain your situation politely.
Before eating, wait quietly until all the guests have taken their seats and the host begins to eat. Never start eating alone. You need to use knives and forks correctly all the time. It is rude to make noisy sounds while chewing, or talk freely with your mouth filled with food. When dishes are placed far on the other side of the table, do not lean over the table to get them by yourself. It is good manners to ask the people sitting beside you to pass the dishes to you gently.
After the dinner is over, you are not supposed to leave immediately. It is polite to stay for a short time to chat with the host and other guests about relaxing daily topics. When you finally plan to leave, always express your sincere thanks to the host for the delicious meal and their warm hospitality.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了在英国参加正式晚宴时需要遵循的一些恰当的社交和餐桌礼仪,包括赴宴时间、用餐前后的行为规范以及离席时的注意事项等。
1.第一段提到:“If you find you will be more than 15 minutes late, you should give the host a quick call ahead of time to explain your situation politely.” 这表明如果参加英国晚宴迟到超过15分钟,应该提前给主人打电话礼貌地解释情况。
2.第二段提到:“It is rude to make noisy sounds while chewing, or talk freely with your mouth filled with food.” 这说明在英国餐桌上嘴里塞满食物时自由交谈是不礼貌的行为。
3.第三段提到:“When you finally plan to leave, always express your sincere thanks to the host for the delicious meal and their warm hospitality.” 结合语境,在离开时要对主人美味的饭菜和热情的款待表达真诚感谢,“hospitality”意思是热情款待。

What things are acceptable when you are at the dinner table and what manners are rude?
I will tell you some of the most important American table manners. When you sit down to eat, you should place the napkin (餐巾) across your lap. You should never talk with your mouth full and should chew with your mouth closed. If someone asks you a question while you are chewing, you should finish chewing and then swallow the food before answering. You should never drop scraps (残羹剩饭) on the table. Instead, place them on a spare plate. Besides, only put food on someone else’s plate if they ask for it. And if they say they don’t want anything else to eat or drink, then you shouldn’t give them anything else. Never use your knife or fork to point at others because it is rude.
In China, I know it’s rude to point with your chopsticks. It’s common practice to place food into friends’ bowls and to put drinks in their glasses even after they have said they don’t want any more. It’s fine to drop the scraps onto the table. Besides, talking while you’re eating is okay.
Manners are different all over the world and can even be different in different parts of a country. Have you ever seen foreigners do anything impolite? Is there anything you have done that they might see as impolite?
1.What should you do first when you sit down to eat in America?
A.Place the napkin on the lap. B.Clean the plates.
C.Take a photo of the food. D.Give thanks.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了美国和中国在餐桌礼仪上的不同习惯,包括餐巾使用、咀嚼方式、残渣处理、为他人夹菜以及用餐具指点他人等行为。
1.根据第二段第二句“When you sit down to eat, you should place the napkin across your lap.”可知,在美国坐下吃饭时,首先应该将餐巾铺在腿上。
2.根据第二段最后一句“Never use your knife or fork to point at others because it is rude.”和第三段第一句“In China, I know it’s rude to point with your chopsticks.”可知,在美国用刀叉指人是不礼貌的,在中国用筷子指人也是不礼貌的,即用餐具指人在中美两国都是粗鲁行为。
3.文章第一段提出问题,引出话题;第二段介绍美国的餐桌礼仪;第三段介绍中国的餐桌礼仪;第四段总结并说明世界各地礼仪不同。故文章结构为:提出问题(P1)→分述中美礼仪(P2、P3)→总结升华(P4)。
4.文章通篇对比介绍了美国和中国在餐桌上的不同礼仪习惯,并非只讲美国或只讲中国,也非泛泛讲全世界。因此最佳标题是“美国与中国的餐桌礼仪”。A、B两个选项表述片面,D选项范围过大,故排除。
For teenagers, good daily manners are not only a basic quality, but also an important lesson during growth. Many students only pay attention to their school grades, but they fail to notice their daily behaviour in school and social life. In fact, small polite habits can greatly influence a person’s long-term development.
At school, good manners include respecting teachers, getting on well with classmates and keeping classroom rules. You’d better not interrupt others when they are expressing their own ideas, and you should learn to listen to different opinions patiently. If you disagree with others, you need to show your ideas in a gentle and polite way instead of arguing loudly.
Outside school, manners matter even more. When you join group activities or take part in social events, your behaviour will directly leave an impression on strangers. Keeping your promises, speaking in a polite tone and caring about others’ feelings can help you win respect and trust from people around you.
Some students think manners are useless and waste time to follow. This idea is wrong. A person with good manners can easily control his feelings, solve problems in a rational way and build healthy interpersonal relationships. Politeness is never weak; it is a kind of self-discipline and wisdom.
1.What is some teenagers’ wrong idea about manners?
A.Good manners are important for growth. B.It is a waste of time to follow manners.
C.School rules help develop good manners. D.Polite behaviour wins people’s trust.
2.What should we do when we disagree with classmates?
A.Argue with them loudly. B.Refuse to listen to their ideas.
C.Express our opinions politely. D.Leave the classroom at once.
3.What does the underlined word “rational” mean?
A.冲动的 B.理性的 C.消极的 D.片面的
4.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.Grades Are Always the Most Important B.How to Get on Well with Strangers
C.The Importance of Good Manners for Teens D.How to Develop Different Living Habits
5.What can we learn from this passage?
A.Polite people are easy to get along with. B.Good manners can only be learned at school.
C.Bad behaviour never influences our life. D.Manners have nothing to do with self-discipline.
【答案】1.B 2.C 3.B 4.C 5.A

2.第二段给出了意见不合时的做法:“If you disagree with others, you need to show your ideas in a gentle and polite way instead of arguing loudly.”,这说明了和同学意见不合时的正确做法。
3.第四段指出:“solve problems in a rational way”,结合上下文“控制情绪、解决问题”的语境,可推断“rational”意为“理性的”。
4.全文围绕“青少年良好礼仪的重要性” 展开,介绍了礼仪在校园、校外的作用,纠正了错误认知,核心主题是青少年礼仪的重要性。
5.第四段点明礼貌的影响:“A person with good manners can easily control his feelings, solve problems in a rational way and build healthy interpersonal relationships.”,由此可推断有礼貌的人容易相处。

How to Have Good Manners
Good manners are essential because they show respect and kindness, helping to build positive relationships. Without proper etiquette, misunderstandings or conflicts may easily arise.
At school, always greet teachers and classmates politely. Say “please”, “thank you”, and “excuse me”. Avoid interrupting others when they speak. In public places, queue patiently, keep the environment clean, and offer seats to the elderly or those in need.
As middle school students, we should practice good manners every day. Let’s lead by example and encourage others to do the same, making the world a more pleasant place for everyone.

【答案】范文:
Dear Robert,
I’m so glad to hear you’ re coming to China! It’s really smart of you to ask about our manners first, and I am going to share some helpful advice.
When it comes to visiting friends, you should arrive on time. Also, you can’t go wrong with bringing a small gift. Remember to use nín to address others in a formal situation. The rules in Chinese museums are similar to those in the UK. For example, you must keep quiet and never touch the artworks. You’d better not take photos of some artworks unless it is allowed. When eating in restaurants, you should keep your voices down. Remember that we use chopsticks and usually don’t leave tips here. After finishing, you can put your chopsticks on the bowl or plate.
You should follow these rules to avoid unpleasant moments. I hope you will find my advice useful, and I’m looking forward to your wonderful trip in China!

However, to a certain degree, life in the US was hard to get used to. My main 6 was with the language. I failed to understand much in the first few weeks because everyone spoke so 7 .

Their everyday English is very 9 from what we learn in China.
Another difference was the food. My host family always had bread, potatoes and salad for meals. I really 10 the dumplings, rice and delicious dishes from home.
School was a big shock too. They do not 11 students to wear uniforms, so students can wear almost whatever they like. Some students have strange hairstyles (发型) as well.

三、阅读理解
Nowadays, people usually shake hands when they meet each other. Do the Chinese always greet others like this? In fact, handshaking was introduced to our country around 100 years ago.
There were several kinds of greeting etiquette in ancient China. Among them the fist and palm salute (拱手礼) was a quite common one, with a history of about 3,000 years. It was first used by people in the western Zhou Dynasty. In ancient (古代的) times, if people met a stranger, their hands were always ready to hold something used for fighting. Holding out both hands could make people feel relaxed.
When people meet, men usually use their left hand to hold the right one. It’s believed that people considered (认为) the left as the important side for men in Chinese history. While for women, the important side is the right. So when they give the fist and palm salute, they should put their right hand on the top. When someone presents the fist and palm salute to you, you are supposed to do it back as well.
In many wuxia or kung fu TV series and movies, people greet each other with the hold-fist salute, or baoquan in Chinese. The gesture (手势) is that the right hand is made a fist, while the left hand is to cover the right fist. It’s similar to the fist and palm salute, but they are different. Baoquan is widely used among kung fu masters and students. So, don’t make a mistake.
1.What does the underlined word “etiquette” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Need. B.Manners. C.Time. D.Groups.
2.Which picture shows the correct way for women to do the fist-and-palm salute?
A. B. C. D.
3.If Mike wants to do the hold-fist salute, he should ________.
A.keep his right hand open B.cover the right fist with his left hand
C.use his left hand to hold the right one D.put his right hand on the top
4.What can we learn from the passage?
A.There are no standards (标准) for these two salutes.
B.The fist-and-palm salute is more common in kung fu.
C.Now, people celebrate one’s birthday with the hold-fist salute.
D.These two salutes seem similar, but they are quite different.
Good manners are the basic sign of a person’s quality, and they matter greatly in our everyday school life. As middle school students, we stay at school nearly half of our day, learning knowledge, communicating with teachers and getting along with classmates. Therefore, keeping polite and proper behaviour is not only a personal habit, but also an important part of growing up.
Respect for teachers is one of the most basic school manners. We should listen attentively in class, follow teachers’ guidance and never interrupt while someone is speaking. Whenever we meet teachers in the hallway, on the playground or at the school gate, a warm greeting is always a small but meaningful way to show our respect.
Getting on well with classmates also requires good manners. We should be honest, friendly and ready to give a hand when our classmates fall behind in study or meet personal troubles. It is rude and unkind to laugh at others’ mistakes or shortcomings. We should learn to understand and respect differences, and avoid quarrelling over little unimportant things.
We also need to follow public rules on campus. Keep quiet in the library to create a peaceful study environment. Do not run, push or shout in hallways, for it may cause danger. Take good care of school public property and green plants, and never leave rubbish anywhere at will.
A student with good manners can always win trust and respect from people around them. Good behaviour shapes a better self, and makes our school a more harmonious place to study and live.

A.How to study well at school B.The importance and rules of school manners

A.Talking casually in class B.Laughing at helpless classmates

When you are invited to a formal dinner party in England, it is necessary to follow some proper social and table manners. Firstly, you are supposed to arrive on time. It is not polite to arrive too early or much too late. If you find you will be more than 15 minutes late, you should give the host a quick call ahead of time to explain your situation politely.
Before eating, wait quietly until all the guests have taken their seats and the host begins to eat. Never start eating alone. You need to use knives and forks correctly all the time. It is rude to make noisy sounds while chewing, or talk freely with your mouth filled with food. When dishes are placed far on the other side of the table, do not lean over the table to get them by yourself. It is good manners to ask the people sitting beside you to pass the dishes to you gently.
After the dinner is over, you are not supposed to leave immediately. It is polite to stay for a short time to chat with the host and other guests about relaxing daily topics. When you finally plan to leave, always express your sincere thanks to the host for the delicious meal and their warm hospitality.
1.If you are over 15 minutes late for an English dinner party, you should ________.
A.wait outside quietly B.call the host politely in advance

What things are acceptable when you are at the dinner table and what manners are rude?
I will tell you some of the most important American table manners. When you sit down to eat, you should place the napkin (餐巾) across your lap. You should never talk with your mouth full and should chew with your mouth closed. If someone asks you a question while you are chewing, you should finish chewing and then swallow the food before answering. You should never drop scraps (残羹剩饭) on the table. Instead, place them on a spare plate. Besides, only put food on someone else’s plate if they ask for it. And if they say they don’t want anything else to eat or drink, then you shouldn’t give them anything else. Never use your knife or fork to point at others because it is rude.
In China, I know it’s rude to point with your chopsticks. It’s common practice to place food into friends’ bowls and to put drinks in their glasses even after they have said they don’t want any more. It’s fine to drop the scraps onto the table. Besides, talking while you’re eating is okay.
Manners are different all over the world and can even be different in different parts of a country. Have you ever seen foreigners do anything impolite? Is there anything you have done that they might see as impolite?
1.What should you do first when you sit down to eat in America?
A.Place the napkin on the lap. B.Clean the plates.
C.Take a photo of the food. D.Give thanks.
2.What can we know from the passage?
A.American people don’t talk with others at the dinner table.

For teenagers, good daily manners are not only a basic quality, but also an important lesson during growth. Many students only pay attention to their school grades, but they fail to notice their daily behaviour in school and social life. In fact, small polite habits can greatly influence a person’s long-term development.
At school, good manners include respecting teachers, getting on well with classmates and keeping classroom rules. You’d better not interrupt others when they are expressing their own ideas, and you should learn to listen to different opinions patiently. If you disagree with others, you need to show your ideas in a gentle and polite way instead of arguing loudly.
Outside school, manners matter even more. When you join group activities or take part in social events, your behaviour will directly leave an impression on strangers. Keeping your promises, speaking in a polite tone and caring about others’ feelings can help you win respect and trust from people around you.
Some students think manners are useless and waste time to follow. This idea is wrong. A person with good manners can easily control his feelings, solve problems in a rational way and build healthy interpersonal relationships. Politeness is never weak; it is a kind of self-discipline and wisdom.

Nowadays, people usually shake hands when they meet each other. Do the Chinese always greet others like this? In fact, handshaking was introduced to our country around 100 years ago.
There were several kinds of greetings in ancient China. Among them, the fist and palm salute (拱手礼) was quite a common one, with a history of about 3,000 years. It was first used by people in the Western Zhou Dynasty. In ancient times, if people met a stranger, their hands were always ready to hold something used for fighting. Holding out both hands could make people feel relaxed.
When people meet, men usually use their left hand to hold the right one. It’s believed that people considered the left the important side for men in Chinese history. While for women, the important side is the right. So when they give the fist and palm salute, they should put their right hand on the top. When someone presents the fist and palm salute to you, you are supposed to do it back as well.
In many wuxia or kung fu TV series and movies, people greet each other with the hold fist salute, or baoquan in Chinese. The gesture (手势) is that the right hand is made into a fist, while the left hand covers the right fist. It’s similar to the fist and palm salute, but they are different. Baoquan is widely used among kung fu masters and students. So, don’t make a mistake.
