6.W:Hi,Tom! Do you know it’s polite to make a noise when people are eating in Japan? M:Really? That’s interesting.It’s different in our country. Q:What are they talking about?
7.M:I heard you had been to Switzerland.So can you tell me something about it?
W:Switzerland is very beautiful and you have to be sure about what you are supposed to do to be polite. M:That’s what I want to know.
Q:What does the man want to know?
8.W:John,what am I supposed to do when I am with an American family?
M:It’s rude to say you’re full.If you don’t want to eat any more food,you should just say“It was delicious.” Q:What should the woman say when she is full?
9.W:Hi,Mike! I have a friend from Switzerland.He invited me to meet his family.I don’t know whether I should go there early or a little late.
M:I heard they are very serious about time,so my best advice is to be on time. Q:What should the woman do?
10.W:We had better not make a noise in the library.I’m reading an interesting book. M:I’m sorry to trouble you,but the book you are reading is mine. Q:What does the man want to do?
三?听一段对话,选择正确答案?(对话听两遍)
W:You must be excited about leaving for Japan tomorrow,Tom! M:Yeah,I am.But I’m a little nervous,too. W:Nervous about what?
M:Well,for one thing,I don’t know how to use chopsticks very well...and I don’t know how to behave at the dinner table.
W:Oh,I see.I could give you a little lesson on Japanese table manners if you’d like. M:Really? That would be great!
W:Let me see.One difference is that sometimes it’s polite to make a noise when you are eating,especially when you are eating noodles.It shows that you like the food.
M:Really? That’s interesting.In the United States you are not supposed to do that.
W:Yeah,I know.OK,so here are some chopstick rules:it’s rude to stick your chopsticks into your food,and you shouldn’t point at anyone with your chopsticks. M:Oh,OK,I won’t.
W:And also,this isn’t about table manners exactly,but you should know that you aren’t supposed to talk when you are eating dinner.Only parents are allowed to talk at the dinner table and children are not allowed to speak. M:Wow! That’s unusual!
