23、Table manners are how to behave when you eat a meal. They include how to handle knives, forks and spoons and how to eat in a polite manner. To behave well abroad, you should know some table manners.

EATING MANNERS

Japan: It is “perfectly” okay to slurp（发出啧啧的声音）when you eat noodles. Unlike making big noises, slurping slightly is not rude. Japanese also say it tastes better if you slurp.

Russia: Your wrists（手腕）should be placed on the edge of the table while eating, fork in the left hand, and knife in the right. It is not good manners to rest them on your lap. Keep your elbows off the table. Leave some food on your plate to show that the host has given you enough to eat.

France: Never discuss money or religion over dinner. What is different from the manners in Russia is that finishing everything on your plate is considered good manners.

Mexico: Whenever you catch the eye of someone who’s eating, even a stranger, it’s good manners to say “prove Cho”. It means enjoy. In Mexico, dining is more than a meal. It’s a social occasion-lunches are seldom quick and suppers can last for hours. Where you sit is very important in the country. Before you get seated, look for place cards, or wait until the host seats you. And you must say “enjoy your meal” before you leave the table.

DRINKING MANNERS

America: If you empty a bottle into someone’s glass, it obliges（迫使）that person to buy the next bottle. It’s polite to put the last drops into your own glass.

Australia: In a pub （酒吧）, it’s usual to buy a round of drinks for everyone in your group. When it’s your turn, say “It’s my round.” When it’s their round, they will buy it for you. Don’t leave before you’ve bought a round.

Japan: Don’t fill your own glass with alcohol. Instead, you should pour for others and wait for them to do it for you.

25、   I still remember the date, December 24. While I was having an English class, I fell a【1】 (睡着). Suddenly, I went into a strange area and saw some p【2】 (学生) playing in the woods. Then a rainstorm came. So I made my way into a t【3】 (塔). The light there was very weak but the i【4】 (冰冷的) wind was very strong. I could hear the rain beat h【5】 (猛烈地) against the windows. I struck a match but saw nothing.

Then I found a man standing against a door with a flashlight. At first, he stared at me in s【6】 (沉默). Then he walked up to me. When I realized he could be a terrorist, I was c【7】 (完全地) shocked. I phoned my mother, but she didn’t pick up. I felt very terrified.

At that time, I heard the alarm bell go off and then a soft voice, “Hi, class is over.” I woke up, rose slowly from the chair and found that the wind died down. The sunlight outside was so bright.

Do you think this passage is interesting? I’m not k【8】 (欺骗) you. To tell you the t【9】 (事实), I dreamed a strange dream that day. I also gave a report to my friends about the dream r【10】 (最近).
