21、Whether you’re eating at a fancy restaurant or dining in someone’s home，proper table manners are likely to help you make a good impression．According to a US expert，Emily Post，“All rules of table manners are made to avoid ugliness．”
While Henry Hitchings of the Los Angeles Times admits that good manners can reduce social conflict，he points out that mostly their purpose is protective – they turn our natural warrior-like selves into more elegant ones．
So where did table manners come from？
In medieval England，a writer named Petrus Alfonsi took the lead to urge people not to speak with their mouths full．And King David I of Scotland also proposed that any of his people who learned to eat more neatly be given a tax deduction (减除)．
Disappointingly，that idea never caught on．It was during the Renaissance，when there were real technical developments，opinions of correct behavior changed for good．“None of these was more significant than the introduction of the table fork,” wrote Hitchings．“Gradually，as forks became popular，they brought the new way of eating，making it possible，for instance，to consume berries without making one’s fingers dirty．”
Forks were introduced to Britain in 1608 and 25 years later，the first table fork reached America．Yet while most of the essentials (基本要素) are the same on both sides of the Atlantic，there are a few clear differences between what’s normal in the US and what holds true in the UK．For example，in the US，when food needs cutting with a knife，people generally cut a bite，then lay aside the knife and switch the fork to their right hand．Then they pick up one bite at a time．By contrast，Britons keep the fork in the left hand and don’t lay the knife down．
Though globalization has developed a new，simpler international standard of table manners，some people still stick with the American cut-and-switch method．The Los Angeles Times noted，“They are hanging on to a form of behavior that favors manners above efficiency．”
【1】What does the story mainly talk about？
A．The importance of proper table manners．
B．The development of table manners in Western countries．
C．Some unwritten rules of table manners in the US and UK．
D．Differences between American and British table manners．
【2】The underlined phrase “caught on” in the passage probably means ______．
A．worked in practice
B．became popular
C．drew attention
D．had a positive effect
【3】Which of the following events influenced people’s table manners most according to the article？
A．The introduction of forks．
B．The tax deduction policy．
C．The rise of the Renaissance．
D．Petrus Alfonsi’s efforts in promoting table manners．
【4】What can we conclude from the article？
A．British and American table manners are completely different from each other．
B．American people pay more attention to their table manners than British people do．
C．With globalization，the American cut-and-switch method has been abandoned in the US．
D．British people’s way of using a knife and fork may be more efficient than American people’s．

23、Singapore's tradition of eating out in places called hawker centers has been recognized by the United Nations for its cultural importance.
A hawker is a person who sells food or goods and advertises by shouting at people walking by on the street. Hawkers are an important part of Singaporean culture. Open-air eating areas where hawkers sell their goods are very popular in Singapore. "These centers serve as 'community dining rooms' where people from diverse backgrounds gather and share the experience of dining over breakfast, lunch and dinner." UNESCO said. Famous chefs like Anthony Bourdain and Gordon Ramsay have praised them. And they appear in popular films like Crazy Rich Asians. The 2018 film showed its stars enjoying meals at a famous night market. Some sellers even received Michelin stars from a famous restaurant rating system for their meals costing only a few dollars.
The United Nations' cultural agency, UNESCO, added the city's hawker culture to its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity due to its unique culture. Singapore was eager to have hawker culture added to the list. Now that it has been recognized, Singapore must provide a report every six years to UNESCO. The report must show efforts the city-state has made to save and support its hawker culture.
In the 1970s, Singapore cleaned up its streets so the city moved street hawkers to new eating centers. These areas were part of an effort to improve the island. Now, the centers offer many different low-cost meals for local people and provide a pleasing social setting.
But Singapore's hawker culture does face some problems. The average age of a hawker in Singapore is 60 years old. Younger Singaporeans now want to work in offices. They are less interested in working in small restaurants. The COVID-19 health crisis also hurts sales, preventing foreign visitors from eating out. During the first few months of this year, restrictions on movement and social distancing also stopped locals.
【1】What can we know about hawker culture?
A．The hawkers live a poor life in Singapore.
B．It is a traditional way of eating out in Singapore.
C．Hawkers can only sell food or gooks on the street.
D．It became famous because of the film Crazy Rich Asians.
【2】Why did some sellers receive Michelin stars?
A．Their meals were tasty and cheap.
B．Their restaurant was very famous.
C．Their meals were enjoyed by film stars.
D．Their food appeared at a famous as night market.
【3】What is the main reason for UNESCO to add hawker culture to the list?
A．Hawker culture is important and unique.
B．Singapore's hawker culture is facing difficulties.
C．The city-state wants to save and support its hawker culture.
D．Singapore was eager to have hawker culture added to the list.
【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about?
