21、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.

【1】When you are at table in Mexico, you should ________.

A．keep silent if you catch the eye of a stranger

B．eat as quickly as you can to save your time

22、   Do you know yu（竽）, a kind of instrument (乐器) ? It appeared many years ago.During the Warring States Period (战国时期), the king of the State of Qi (齐国)enjoyed listening to yu ensemble (合奏). He often called up 300 players to play together for him.The king provided his musicians with delicious food and lots of money.A man named Nan Guo heard about that and he found a way to become a member of the band, even though he wasn't good at playing the instrument at all.Whenever the band played for the king, Nan Guo just stood in the line and pretended (假装) to play. Nobody realized he was making no sound at all.When the king died, his son became the new king who also liked the sound of yu. However, he preferred (更喜欢)  solo so that he asked the musicians to play the yu one by one.So Nan Guo had to run out of the palace and never came back.

【1】What did the old king of the State of Qi like?

A.Listening to yu ensemble. B.Listening to yu solo.

C.Shooting the animals. D.Playing the yu himself.

23、Don’t let your kids drag their feet (拖拖拉拉) over doing chores. Help them to make the boring chores enjoyable.

________ A simple and great way to make cleaning great fun is to do some of it together. Play some beautiful music while you are doing chores. Then you won’t feel bored.

Get lucky. If your kids like surprises, write chores on ice-cream and have each kid pick one. Tell them they can change their picks if each of them agrees. In this way, they will have a feeling that they’re making a choice (选择).

Make it playtime. Turn “kitchen time” into a party. Let one child be a cook and another be a DJ. The cook chooses what he or she would like to help make for dinner. The DJ chooses the music he or she would like to play. Everyone can dance around the kitchen while preparing dinner or cleaning up the kitchen later.

Find more difficult chores. One of my friends was trying to get her kids to help out around the house, and someone advised her to give the kids some things like candies or toys as rewards. The plan worked like magic. However, rewards usually don’t work for long because kids will be bored with doing the same chores all the time. At this time, give them some difficult chores. If they’re already used to helping clean the cage of the pet, make it harder by having them clean it all by themselves. Then, ask them to clean it faster.
