A
Different countries have different customs. When you are in different countries, you should follow their customs.
In China, it`s impolite to talk when eating dinner. And you`re not supposed to start eating first if there are older people at the table.
Very often people who travel to the United States forget to tip(付小费). It is usual to tip waiters, taxi drivers and porters who help carry your bags. Waiters expect to get a 15% tip on the cost of your meal. Taxi drivers expect about the same amount.
In England, make sure to stand in line even if there are only two of you. It`s important to respect(尊重) lines there. It`s a good idea to talk about the weather. It`s favorite subject of conversation with the British.
In Spain(西班牙),it`s a good idea to have a light meal in the afternoon if someone invites you for dinner. People have dinner very late ,and restaurants do not generally open until after 9:00 pm.
In Saudi Arabia(沙特阿拉伯),men kiss one another on the cheek(脸颊).Your host may welcome you with a kiss on both cheeks. It is polite for you to do the same.
In Japan, people usually give personal or business cards to each other when they meet for the first time. When a person gives you a card, don`t put it into your pocket(口袋) as soon as you get it. The person expects you to read it.
Don`t forget to be careful of your body language to express something in conversations. A kind of body language that is acceptable in one culture may be impolite in another.
31. How many countries are mentioned in this passage?
A. Four B. Five C. Six D. Seven
32. What does the underlined word “porters” mean in Chinese?

35. What does the passage mainly talk about?

B. How to tip in different countries

B
People in different countries have different ways of doing things. Something that is polite in one country may be quite impolite in another. In Britain, you mustn’t lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having some soup. But it’s different in China. And in Japan you even needn’t worry about making a noise when you have noodles. It shows that you enjoy them. However, making a noise is bad manners in Britain. If you are a visitor in Mongolia (蒙古), what manners do they wish you to have? They wish you to give a loud “burp (打嗝)” after you finish eating. Burping shows that you like the food.
In Britain, you should try not to put your hands on the table when you’re having a meal. In Mexico, however, they hope you keep the hands on the table during the meal. But Arabians (阿拉伯人) think you must be very careful with your hands. You mustn’t eat with your left hand. Arabians think it’s very bad manners. So, what should you do if you visit another country? “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” That means you can just watch the locals carefully and follow them.
36. Where is it not polite to lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having some soup?
A. In China. B. In Britain. C. In Japan. D. In Mexico.
37. What does burping after eating show in Mongolia?
A. You are impolite. B. You are hungry.
C. You like the food. D. You don’t like the food.
38. In which country, people mustn’t eat with left hands?
A. Britain. B. China. C. Mexico. D. Arabian countries.
39. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Different countries have different table manners. B. Table manners in Britain.
C. How to be polite at home. D. Don’t worry about making a noise when you have meals.
40. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Where there is a will, there is a way. B. Two heads are better than one.
C. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. D. Better late than never.
C
Table manners are very important in different cultures, as they can show your politeness and respect for others. In Britain, people use knives and forks to eat most food. They hold the knife in the right hand and the fork in the left hand, cutting food into small pieces before eating. They shouldn’t put their elbows on the table during the meal, as it’s considered impolite. It’s also polite to wait for the host to start eating first, and to say “thank you” to the host after the meal. When eating soup, they use a spoon and scoop the soup away from themselves.
In China, people use chopsticks to eat. It’s rude to point at others with chopsticks, tap the bowl with chopsticks, or stick chopsticks upright in the rice. Also, we shouldn’t stand up to take food from far away, instead, we can ask others to pass it to us. Using serving chopsticks to take food from shared dishes is a good habit, especially in public occasions, as it’s more hygienic. We should wait for the elders to start eating before we begin, and it’s polite to offer food to elders.
In France, people often eat slowly and enjoy their food, as meal time is a time for family and friends to communicate. They shouldn’t talk with food in their mouths or make noise while eating.
It’s polite to thank the host for the meal and praise the food sincerely. In Germany, people pay attention to punctuality for meals, and they usually don’t waste food. They also use knives and forks, and it’s rude to put your hands under the table.
41. What do British people use to eat?
A. Chopsticks. B. Hands. C. Spoons and forks. D. Knives and forks.
42. Which is rude in China according to the passage?

43. What should people in France NOT do during the meal?

C. Thank the host. D. Make loud noise.
44. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Different table manners in different countries. B. How to use chopsticks in China.
C. How to greet others in Britain. D. Differences of dining customs in countries.

In England, make sure to stand in line even if there are only two of you. It`s important to respect(尊重) lines there. It`s a good idea to talk about the weather. It`s favorite subject of conversation with the British.
In Spain(西班牙),it`s a good idea to have a light meal in the afternoon if someone invites you for dinner. People have dinner very late ,and restaurants do not generally open until after 9:00 pm.
In Saudi Arabia(沙特阿拉伯),men kiss one another on the cheek(脸颊).Your host may welcome you with a kiss on both cheeks. It is polite for you to do the same.
In Japan, people usually give personal or business cards to each other when they meet for the first time. When a person gives you a card, don`t put it into your pocket(口袋) as soon as you get it. The person expects you to read it.
Don`t forget to be careful of your body language to express something in conversations. A kind of body language that is acceptable in one culture may be impolite in another.

People in different countries have different ways of doing things. Something that is polite in one country may be quite impolite in another. In Britain, you mustn’t lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having some soup. But it’s different in China. And in Japan you even needn’t worry about making a noise when you have noodles. It shows that you enjoy them. However, making a noise is bad manners in Britain. If you are a visitor in Mongolia (蒙古), what manners do they wish you to have? They wish you to give a loud “burp (打嗝)” after you finish eating. Burping shows that you like the food.
In Britain, you should try not to put your hands on the table when you’re having a meal. In Mexico, however, they hope you keep the hands on the table during the meal. But Arabians (阿拉伯人) think you must be very careful with your hands. You mustn’t eat with your left hand. Arabians think it’s very bad manners. So, what should you do if you visit another country? “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” That means you can just watch the locals carefully and follow them.

Table manners are very important in different cultures, as they can show your politeness and respect for others. In Britain, people use knives and forks to eat most food. They hold the knife in the right hand and the fork in the left hand, cutting food into small pieces before eating. They shouldn’t put their elbows on the table during the meal, as it’s considered impolite. It’s also polite to wait for the host to start eating first, and to say “thank you” to the host after the meal. When eating soup, they use a spoon and scoop the soup away from themselves.
In China, people use chopsticks to eat. It’s rude to point at others with chopsticks, tap the bowl with chopsticks, or stick chopsticks upright in the rice. Also, we shouldn’t stand up to take food from far away, instead, we can ask others to pass it to us. Using serving chopsticks to take food from shared dishes is a good habit, especially in public occasions, as it’s more hygienic. We should wait for the elders to start eating before we begin, and it’s polite to offer food to elders.
In France, people often eat slowly and enjoy their food, as meal time is a time for family and friends to communicate. They shouldn’t talk with food in their mouths or make noise while eating.
It’s polite to thank the host for the meal and praise the food sincerely. In Germany, people pay attention to punctuality for meals, and they usually don’t waste food. They also use knives and forks, and it’s rude to put your hands under the table.

Dear Tom,
How is everything? I’m writing to share what I learned about different cultures and manners recently.
In China, we wait for elders to start eating first and use chopsticks properly. It shows our respect. In the UK, people always queue politely in public places.
