Question

People in different countries have different ways of doing things. Something that is polite in one country may be quite impolite in another. In Britain, you mustn’t lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having some liquid (液體) food. But it’s different in China. And in Japan you even needn’t worry about making noises when you have it. It shows that you are enjoying it. But it is regarded as bad manners in Britain. If you are a visitor in Mongolia, what manners do they wish you to have? They wish you to give a loud “burp”(打嗝) after you finish eating, Burping shows that you like the food.
In Britain, you should try not to put your hands on the table when you’re having a meal. In Mexico, however, guests are expected to keep their hands on the table during a meal. But in Arab countries you must be very careful with your hands. You mustn’t eat with your left hand. Arabs consider it very bad manners eating with left hands. So, what should you do if you are on a visit in another country? Well, just do in Rome as the Romans do. You can ask the native (本土的)people to help you or just watch carefully and follow them.

試題分析：
小題1:通過in Japan you even needn’t worry about making noises when you have it.可知，在日本，當你喝東西時，可以出聲音。所以本題選B。
小題2:In Britain, you mustn’t lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having some liquid (液體) food本句的意思是“在英國，當你喝東西時，你一定不要將碗放到嘴邊喝。”可知C“用碗直接喝湯.”是不禮貌的。所以本題選C。
小題3:通過 after you finish eating可知，是吃完飯后，而不是吃飯時，故A是錯誤的；文中說喝東西時，可以有聲音，但沒說吃東西時，故B是錯誤的；通過 it’s different in China.可知，在中國吃東西時，也是有聲音的，故C是錯誤的；通過But in Arab countries you must be very careful with your hands. You mustn’t eat with your left hand可知，本題應該選D。
小題4:通過People in different countries have different ways of doing things一句和閱讀全文，可知，本文主要講述了不同國家的餐桌禮儀。所以本題選B。
