22、       Table manners are how to behave when you eat a meal. They include how to handle knives, forks and spoons and how to eat in a polite manner. To behave well abroad, you should know some table manners.

EATING MANNERS

Japan: It is “perfectly” okay to slurp(发出啧啧的声音) when you eat noodles. Unlike making big noise, slurping slightly is not rude. Japanese also say it tastes better if you slurp.

Russia: Your wrists(手腕) should be placed on the edge of the table while eating, fork in the left hand, and knife in the right. It is not good manners to rest them on your laps. Keep your elbows off the table. Leave some food on your plate to show that the host has given you enough to eat.

France: Never discuss money or religion over dinner. What is different from the manners in Russia is that finishing everything on your plate is considered good manners.

Mexico: Whenever you catch the eye of someone who’s eating, even a stranger, it’s good manners to say “provecho”. It means “enjoy”. In Mexico, dining is more than a meal. It’s a social occasion — lunches are seldom quick and suppers can last for hours. Where you sit is very important in the country. Before you get seated, look for place cards or wait until the host seats you. And you must say “enjoy your meal” before you leave the table.

DRINKING MANNERS

America: If you empty a bottle into someone’s glass, it obliges(迫使) that person to buy the next bottle. It’s polite to put the last drops into your own glass.

Australia: In a pub(酒吧),it’s usual to buy a round of drinks for everyone in your group. When it’s your turn, say “It’s my round.” When it’s their round, they will buy it for you. Don’t leave before you’ve bought a round.

Japan: Don’t fill your own glass with alcohol. Instead, you should pour for others and wait for them to do it for you.

【1】When you are at table in Mexico, you should ________.

A．keep silent if you catch the eye of a stranger

B．eat as quickly as you can to save your time

C．wish others happy with eating before leaving the table

D．seat yourself anywhere before the host tells you to

【2】What does the underlined word “empty” mean in Chinese?
