people

scientists say that none of these differences are really important. it doesn't matter whether food

there are two problems
,
then
,

passage 3
manners are very important in every country
,
but the trouble is that different countries have
different ideas about what counts as polite behavior. what is good manners in one country may
not be appropriate behavior in another. chinese people may be shocked at what counts as good
manners in england.
when an englishman passes a friend in the street he does not always stop to talk. he may just
nod
,
say
“
hello
”
and so on. if two friends do stop to talk
,
they do not shake hands. it is only
at parties for young people(students
,
for instance) that a person could go up to someone he
does not know and introduce himself. on more formal occasions or at parties run by older people
a guest always waits to be introduced to someone he does not know by the host
,
hostess or
another guest who he already knows. at even a formal dinner an englishman does not wait for a
toast before he has a drink. the english reserve toasts for very formal or very special occasions. in
these cases the toast will usually be accompanied by a short speech
,
for example
,
at a wedding
reception or at a party for somebody who is retiring. after a private dinner in someone
’
s house
an englishman will only shake hands with the host and hostess if it is a fairly formal occasion
,
like a business dinner
,
and he will usually put his coat on and say goodbye as he leaves the
house.
luckily
,
like chinese people
,
the english usually excuse foreign students over matters of
etiquette. but even so
,
perhaps the safest advice for the overseas student
,
no matter what
country he is visiting
,
is to follow the old proverb: when in rome
,
do as the romans do.
B
1. when an englishman meets a friend in the street
,
he may ___________.
a. stop to talk to his friend
b just nod and say
“
hello
”
c shake hands with his friend
d just say goodbye
D
2. what will a person do when he attends a party run by older people?
a. go up to a stranger and introduce himself.
b. ask his friend to introduce him to others.
c. give a speech in front of others to introduce himself.
d. wait to be introduced by the host/ hostess.
A
3. on which occasion will the english toast?
a. a wedding reception.
b. a dinner party.
c. a speech.
d. a meeting.
C
4. which of the following is true according to the passage?
a. different countries have similar ideas about what good manners are.
b. chinese people seem to be more polite than english people.
c. an englishman will shake hands with the host after a private business dinner.
d. the english usually can
’
t understand foreign students
’
impolite behaviors.
B
5. which of the following best explains the proverb: when in rome
,
do as the romans do.
a. if you go to rome
,
you must do things like the romans.
b. when you go to a foreign country
,
you should learn something about their manners.
c. romans always do the right thing
,
so you should follow them.
d. manners in roman are as easy to follow as in other countries.

Contacts
(
交往
)
between
Japan
and
the
rest
of
the
world
have
grown
a
great
deal
in
the
twentieth century. In the last thirty years, business contacts between Japan and the West have
become
very
important.
Many
foreign
companies
now
have
offices
in
Japan
and
Japanese
businessmen do business around the world.
Differences between Japanese and Western ways of doing business, however, often bewilder the
foreign businessman and make doing business in Japan difficult for foreigners.
The American businessman, for example, wants to start talking business immediately. He wants
quick decisions. He does not wait. The Japanese, on the other hand, likes to arrive at decisions
gradually
after
giving
them
a
great
deal
of
thought.
Another
thing
foreign
businessmen
have
difficulty in understanding is when a Japanese means “Yes” or “No”. This is because of cultural
difference between Japanese and western society which makes it difficult for a Japanese to say
“No” directly.
In English, it is easy to say “No” to something we do not want to do. But in Japan it is very difficult
to
say
“No”.
To
refuse
an
invitation
or
a
request
with
“No”,
or
a
similar
phrase,
is
felt
to
be
impolite. It is thought to be selfish and unfriendly. So instead of saying “No”. These enable them
to
avoid
hurting
other
people’s
feelings.
However,
this
often
makes
communication
with
the
Japanese difficult for foreigners to understand and follow.

More than 50,000,000 people live in the rainforest of the world and most of them do not hurt the
forest they live in. They eat the fruits on the forest trees, but they do not cut them down. They
kill some animals to eat, but they do not destroy (
破坏
) them.
When
we
cut
down
the
rainforests,
we
destroy
these
forest
people,
too.
In
1900,
there
were
1,000,000 forest people in the Amazon forest. In 1980, there were only 200,000.
The Yanomami live along the rivers of the rainforest in the north of Brazil. They have lived in the
rainforest for about 10,000 years and they use more than 2,000 different plants for food and for
medicine. But in 1988, someone found gold in their forest, and suddenly 45,000 people came to
the forest and began looking for gold. They cut down the forest to make roads. They made more
than
a
hundred
airports.
The
Yanomami
people
lost
land
and
food.
Many
died
because
new
diseases came to the forest with the strangers.
The Yanomami people tried to save their forest, because it was their home. But the people who
wanted gold were stronger.
Many
forest
people
try
to
save
their
forests.
Chico
Mendes
was
famous
in
Brazil
because
he
wanted
to
keep
the
forest
for
his
people.
“I
want
the
Amazon
forest
to
help
all
of
us
–
forest
people, Brazil, and all the
Earth, ” he said. A few months later, in December 1988, people who
wanted to cut down the forest killed Chico Mendes.
In Borneo, people were cutting down the forest of the Penan people to sell the wood. The Penan
people tried to save their rainforest. They made blockades (
障碍
) across the roads into the forest.
In 1987, they closed fifteen roads for eight months. No one cut down any trees during that time.
In
Panama,
the Kuna
people
saved
their
forest.
They made
a forest
park which

when a japanese friend of mine first visited britain

continent, but something was wrong: land mass

he was looking at, it was the british isles. japan was out on the edge somewhere.
until that moment all the maps he had known had set japan in the middle of the picture
a
nd
had coloured it red; yet when he got to britain, he found that the country in the middle of the
map was britain
a
nd that is, too, was painted red.
what my friend had found was a displacement (

) of his country,
a
nd therefore, of himself
as well. that is to say, his country was no longer in its familiar place
a

w
here he stood; he was disoriented.

Although American informality(
不拘礼节
) is well known, many new visitor think that it indicates
a
“
lack of respect
”
. This is especially true in the business world. Americans often use names
upon meeting a stranger and do not always shake hands. They often just
smile and say “Hi” or
“hello”, rather than using a more formal hand shake. It is good to remember t
hat to an American
such an informal greeting really means the same thing as a more formal hand shake someplace
else. Similarly, Americans do not usually give a special “farewell” or hand shake to each person
when they leave a party of business meeting. They will often just wave when they leave a party of
business meeting. They will often just wave good-
bye to the whole group and perhaps say, “Well,
so long everybody, I’ll see you tomorrow.” They then will leave. No hand shakes.
Americans
seem
either
totally
hurried
and
hard-working
or
totally
informal
and
at
ease.
Often
you will see men working at office desks without their chairs and even put their feet up on the
desk while they talk on the telephone. This is not meant to be rude. Once Americans leave the
busy streets, they are easy and informal.
A visitor to the United States should therefore understand that being in a great hurry does not
indicate unfriendliness and being informal and being at ease does not show a lack of respect.
Americans have a great range of customs and habits that at first may seem puzzling to a visitor. In
time you will learn these new ways.

A young man who lived in London was in love with a beautiful girl. Soon she became his fiancee.
The man was very poor while the girl was rich. The young man wanted to make her a present on
her birthday. He wanted to buy something beautiful for her, but he had no idea how to do it, as
he had very little money. The next morning he went to a shop. There were many fine things there:
rings, gold watches, diamonds
—
but all these things were too expensive. There was one thing he
could not take his eyes off. It was a beautiful vase. That was a suitable present for his fiancee. He
had been looking at the vase for half an hour when the manager of the shop noticed him. The
young man looked so pale, sad and unhappy that the manager asked what had happened to him.

brilliant idea struck him. The manager pointed to the corner of the shop. To his great surprise the

it and take it to your fiancee. When he enters the room, he will drop it.”

The news report that night was about a famine (
饥荒
) in Ethiopia. The pictures were of people
who were so thin that they looked like beings from another planet. The camera focused on one
man so that he looked directly at me, sitting in my comfortable living room. All around was the
sound of death.
It was clear that world had not noticed this until now. You could hear the sadness in the voice of
the reporter, Michael Buerk. At the end of the report he was silent. Paula started crying, then
rushed upstairs to check our baby, Fifi, who was sleeping peacefully.
I kept seeing the news pictures in my mind. What could I do? I was only a pop singer and by now
not a very successful pop singer. All I could do was to make records which no one bought. But I
would give all the profits of the next Pats (the name of the music group he was in ) record to
Oxfam (an organization in Britain which helps poor people around the world) . What good would
that
do?
It
would
only
be
a
little
money
but
it
was
more
than
I
could
give
just
from
my
bank
account. Maybe some people would buy it because the profits were for Oxfam. And I would be
protesting about this disaster. But that was not enough.
