Manners (礼貌) are much more than just saying“Please” and “Thank you”. They are ways of showing kindness.

My husband，Bob，is a pilot，and one day we were invited to a potluck (百味餐) at his flying squadron(飞行中队). The noisy room was filled with mouthy kids and their chatting moms and dads. Our son，Daniel, was only two years old. We let him play with the other kids because it was a safe environment.

After a while，he came back with a package of peanut butter crackers and proudly held them out to us. A pilot who asked “Do you know whose this little boy is？”followed him.

“He is mine,” I answered, wondering what Daniel might have done.

“Well,” replied the pilot, “I've been passing out crackers to the kids for almost two hours，and your son is one of the youngest guys I gave them to. He's the only one who said 'Thank you'. What he did makes me pleased.”

you shake hands and say, "How do you do？". This is not really a question, and the reply to it is another greeting such as "How do you do？" or "Hello" or "I'm very pleased to meet you" or, if you have met the person sometime before, "It's good to see you again". You don't shake hands every time you meet someone, you just greet them. If you are invited to someone's house for dinner, it is usual to take a present - some chocolates or flowers or, if you know them quite well, a bottle of wine. If you do not know the host well, don't be the last person to leave. Telephone the next day to thank the host for the meal. English people don't like to talk about personal things, and tend to avoid religion, politics and money. Good topics for small talk (闲谈) are the weather, holidays, weekend activities, gardens and architecture (建筑物), especially houses and homes. When you go to a pub or bar, it's usual to take turns to buy a drink for everyone in your group and pay for the drinks when you get them from the bar and before you drink them. (以下为试题题干)The first paragraph tells us how to greet someone in business situations.()

Write a memo in traditional format according to the following situation.

Jane Simmons, Personnel Manager of Alpha Electronics, 80--90 Zeus Street, Manchester 0073 6LP, says to you, "Will you write a for me to Simon Clark, my deputy, please？

When he returns from holiday next Monday I shall be starting a three-day conference at Harogate. Ask him to interview the low candidates for the clerical vacancy in the Mailing Section on Monday, starting at 2:30 p. m. lie should make an appointment if there is a suitable candidate. The candidates have been invited for interview and their application forms and references are in the middle drawer of my desk. I’ll leave my desk keys with you. On Tuesday at loam. Gerry Rhodes, the Union Rep, has an appointment to see me. If Simon I can deal with whatever he wants, I shall be grateful. If not, I'll make another appointment to see Gerry when I'm back on Tuesday."

From the time we were babies we have been taught our manners.(从婴儿时开始我们就被教以礼貌规矩。) We are taught how to hold a knife and a fork and not to talk with our mouths full. We are taught how to shake hands and when to stand and when to sit and the way to introduce people.

Sometimes good manners in one place are very bad manners somewhere else. Almost everywhere eating together means that you are very friendly to each other. But in parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating at all. They politely turn their backs on each other when they are taking food.

Some East Africans spit four times as a kind of blessing(祝福). They do it to show that they want a sick person to get well, or to bless a new born baby. In most other places, spitting means just something completely different. It's something to do to show that you hate someone.

When we go to visit someone we say "Hello" and "How are you" and things like that. If you were visiting an East African village, everyone would be very careful not to pay any attention to you. The polite thing there would be for you to go quietly, without speaking to anyone, and sit beside your friend. You would wait until he had finished what he was doing and then he would begin talking to you.

In a village in Arab, a visitor walks behind all the tents until he gets to the one he wants to visit. If he passed in front，he would be invited into each tent and asked to eat. It was rude to refuse.

icked berries or dug up roots to eat. Four of them chose poisonous food and died. The remaining six noticed that their food was safe to eat. They told their children, who, in turn, passed the message on to their descendants. In this way, habit became a vital factor in the survival of mankind : if you ate the right plant, you lived; if you wanted to make your own experiments, you would probably die.

The importance of habit on the survival of the human species is an interesting matter. Even today, most of us hesitate when we are invited to eat a new type of food or drink something we have not tasted before. Even if the food or drink is offered by a friend, we are usually not at all anxious to experiment and accept the offer.

When you get up tomorrow morning, notice which shoe or sock you put on first. Then notice which one you put on first on other days. You may discover that (a) you tend to put on one shoe or sock first every day, and that (b) if you are right-handed, you usually deal with your left shoe or sock first. If you try to change this habit, you may find it uncomfortable or annoying, and you will soon return to your old habit.

When it comes to other matters, we often follow a fixed pattern. We sleep in one or two favorite ways. We often follow familiar routes even when they are not the shortest or best. We often wear a watch on the same wrist even when there is no real reason for doing so. (83)In hundreds of other ways, we show that we are creatures of habit, following fixed patterns of behavior. This characteristic can help us to survive but it can be a barrier to progress too. We must be alert and not let a beneficial factor become a harmful one.

The best title for this passage might be _____.

A．Habit—a Barrier to Progress

B．The Survival of Mankind

C．Various Patterns of Human Behavior

D．We Are Creatures of Habit

听力原文： On June 17, 1744, the officials from Maryland and Virginia held a talk with the Indians of the Six Nations. The Indians were invited to send boys to William and Mary College. In a letter the next day they refused the offer as follows:

We know that you have a high opinion of the kind of learning taught in your colleges, and that the costs of living of our young men, while with you, would be very expensive to you. We are convinced that you mean to do us good by your proposal; and we thank you heartily. But you must know that different nations have different ways of looking at things, and you will therefore not be offended if our ideas of this kind of education happen not to be the same as yours. We have had some experience of it. Several of our young people were formerly brought up at the colleges of the northern provinces; they were taught all your sciences; but when they came back to us they were bad runners, ignorant of every means of living in the woods, they were totally good for nothing.

We are, however, not the less obliged by your kind offer, though we refuse to accept it, and to show our grateful sense of it. If the gentlemen of Virginia will send us a dozen of their sons, we will take care of their education, teach them in all we know and make men of them.
