問題詳情

▲ 閱讀下文，回答第 21 − 25 題Good manners are a set of behaviors which mark someone as a civilized and culturedmember of a society. A person is considered well-mannered if he or she behaves politely.However, good manners do not come naturally and should be taught from a very young age.If children do not receive additional training in etiquette, they might grow up boorish.People with good manners are always agreeable companions. They are delightful becausethey always think of others, not of themselves. They do not have their own way or seektheir own comfort. Instead, they always think of the happiness of others.Different countries and different races have different manners. For example, if you receivea gift in Japan, opening it upon receiving it would be impolite. However, in Austria, do openyour gift immediately; otherwise you will be seen as being rude. Another example is thata guest in a Chinese house never finishes a drink. He leaves a little in order to show thathe has had enough. Similarly, in a Malay house, a guest alwa ys leaves a little food.In England, however, a guest always finishes a drink or food to show that he has enjoyed it.The other example about table manners is that in Japan, it is not only acceptable to slurpthe noodles in your soup, but considered good table manners to do so. However, if you areenjoying a nice bowl of soup in England, slurping is considered rude. In fact, it would seemrather uncouth if you drink a liquid while making a sucking sound in England.Therefore, we must find out the customs of other countries before our visit, so thatthey will not think us ill-mannered. By reading up on a country’s customs, traditions,and etiquette, you will not only fit in better, but also show respect for the locals of the countryyou are visiting. But one thing that people all over the world all agree is that beingwell-mannered really means being kind and helping others, especially those older or weakerthan ourselves. If we remember this, we will not go very far wrong.
