21、Manners at table

The customs(习惯)in different countries are rather different. If I have dinner with a Chinese host(主人), he will put more food onto my plate as soon as I have emptied it. That often discomforts(使不安)me greatly. I have to eat the food even if I do not want to, because it is considered(认为)bad manners in the West to leave one’s food on the plate. I have also noticed that when a Chinese sits at an American’s dinner party, he often refuses the offer of food or drink though he’s in fact still hungry or thirsty. This might be good manners in China but it is not in the West at all. In the United States, it is impolite to keep asking someone again and again until he accepts your offer.

Americans have a direct way of speaking. If they want something, they will ask for it. If not, they will say, “No, thanks.” When an American is served with beer(啤酒)by the host, for example, he might say, “No, thanks. I’ll take some juice(果汁)if you have.” That is what an American will do. So when you go to the United States to deal with us, you’d better remember the famous saying: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

【1】From this passage we can see that the writer is ________.

A．a Chinese

B．a Roman

C．an American

D．a European

【2】When a Chinese host kept putting more food onto the writer’s plate, the writer felt ________.

A．happy

B．sad

C．angry

D．uneasy

【3】In America, people consider it bad manners ________.

A．to refuse an offer

B．to ask for something directly

C．to eat much at a dinner party

D．to keep asking someone to accept something

【4】A guest at an American’s dinner party should show his politeness by ________.

A．not eating up all the food offered

B．asking for more food onto his plate as soon as he emptied it

C．refusing the offer of food or drink though he is still hungry or thirsty

D．asking for things directly if he wants them

【5】“When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” means “________.”

A．the Romans are people of good manners

B．Americans always do the same things as the Romans do

C．you should do things like Romans do

D．you should get used to the local customs where you go

22、Is a nearby neighbor better than a faraway cousin? An American lady, Anna Lane, believes it’s true. Her kind neighbors once helped her out when she was in a big trouble.

Mrs. Lane was living alone in a city in Texas, US. The woman in her 70s could do a lot of housework herself. However she was too old to mow (修剪) her lawn (草坪). Then a big trouble found her. She let the grass grow over 18 inches high and it broke the law in her city. As a result, she was in danger of paying lots of money or even going to prison! Luckily, her neighbors, the Adams brothers, heard the news about her on TV. They decided to do something to help. “We haven’t met her yet, but she’s 75 years old and she needs some help,” said Sam Adams, one of the boys. “That’s the least we could do.”

The Adams brothers took their mowers (修剪机) and came to Mrs. Lane’s house to mow her lawn without telling her. Once they got started, other neighbors saw what was going on and joined in the effort.

Together they worked hard in the sun and finished mowing the whole lawn in about two hours. When Mrs. Lane saw what her neighbors did for her, she was surprised and moved to tears (感动得落泪). “I cannot believe this,” she said. “They were so kind to spend two hours helping me and I didn’t even know their names.” As for the Adams brothers, they said they would always be ready to help her.

24、   Recently, several unhappy things happened to Gina. One afternoon she called a friend to talk about them. After hearing her words, the friend invited her to her home for tea and said, “All trouble will disappear after tasting tea.”

Gina couldn't believe her, but she still decided to go for relaxation. At the friend's home, her friend took out a square box and said, “I asked someone to buy the tea from China.
