Which2根据短文内容判断下列句子正误(T / F)。 Dont circle your plate with your arms. If you do so, you will become the focus of the table. Everyone would wonder, “Is there anything wrong with the food?” This may give a wrong message that you dont like the food of something like that. Dont push the plate back when finished.

The passage tells us the table manners at a western dinner.3根据短文内容选择最佳答案。 Learning the language of a country isnt enough. If you want to know the manners of your foreign friends, you will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India should remember that people there are impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he is disagreeing. But in many parts of India rotating (旋转) movement of the head is to show agreement. In Bulgaria you shake your head to show “yes”- a nod show “no”. In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs while sitting and talking to someone, even at an important meeting. But doing this could cause offence to a Thailander. Also touching the head of a grown-up is just not done in Thailand. Knowing about manners is useful when you are traveling, but you need to know the language used to express for ritual.( ) 1. If youre staying in India, youd better _.A. not use your left hand to pass food at table B. use your left hand to pass food at table C. not use your left hand to wash yourself D. use your left hand impolitely( ) 2. To shake your head means “yes” _.A. in IndiaB. in ChinaC. in BulgariaD. in Thailand( ) 3.
