W: We are often expected to shake hands. We are not supposed to kiss.

2.M: What kind of rule do you know at the dinner table?

W: In Peru and China，you are not supposed to talk. In South Korea，the oldest person is supposed to talk first.

3.M: Excuse me, could you please give me a pair of chopsticks?

W: Sorry, we only have knives and forks.

4.W: Tom, Lucy's birthday party is coming. What are you going to wear that day?

M: Just a T-shirt and jeans.

5.W: Open the present, please. I think you'll like it.

B)请听下面4段对话。每段对话后有几个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。每段对话读两遍。

请听第1段对话，回答第6、7小题。

M: Lingling, do you like to eat the peach or the apple?

W: The peach, thanks. But we are not supposed to eat too many peaches in summer.

M: Why?

W: In China, people believe if you eat too many peaches in summer, you will have inner heat.

M: Does it mean I will feel hot?

W: Not exactly, but you may feel uncomfortable. You may feel thirsty often.

M: That sounds funny. I've never heard of it in Britain or America.

W: And we prefer to eat pears in summer, which will make us feel comfortable.

M: It's interesting.

  请听第2段对话，回答第8、9小题。

W: Have you ever been invited to a Chinese dinner?

M: Sure.

W: Is dining at a Chinese dinner table different from that in your country?

M: Certainly. To begin with, I have to use chopsticks.

W: But you are good at using them now.

M: After all, I've been here for two years. But I still make mistakes at a Chinese dinner table.

W: Aha! Table manners. There are lots of rules that foreigners might never know until they are told. Please don't stick your chopsticks into your food!

M: Oh, sorry! I've been told about this rule once before.

请听第3段对话，回答第10至第12小题。

W: Hi, Mike. I heard you went to your friend Lisa's party with Cathy yesterday. How was it?

M: Oh, Mary, it was terrible.

W: What happened?

M: Well, I was supposed to arrive at 9:00 a.m. but I got there half an hour late.

W: Oh, that was not very polite.

M: Yeah, and then when I met Lisa's mum, I shook hands with her.

W: Oh, you were supposed to bow instead.

M: That's right. And I wore a suit and tie.

W: What's wrong with that?

M: Well, it turned out that it was an outdoor party. Everyone out was in a T-shirt and jeans.

W: I guess next time you should ask what you are supposed to wear.

请听第4段对话，回答第13至第15小题。

W: I am going to a French friend's house tonight. Do you have any thoughts on what I should bring?

M: You can't go wrong with wine, and it is not a bad idea to ask your host first. If he says you don't need to bring anything, you should still bring wine, anyway.

W: Is there anything else I need to know? I just don't want to seem impolite.

M: Well, first, you should arrive a little later than the time your host has told you, but not too late. And don't bring any friends unless you've asked your host first.

W: What about table manners?

M: You should keep your elbows off the table at all times, and never fill your own glass. Also, don't start drinking until your host has already done so. When in doubt, just watch how the other guests do.

W: I hope I won't make a fool of myself.

M: Don't worry! You'll be fine.

  C)请听下面一段独白，根据独白内容完成下列句子，每个空格不超过3个单词。独白读两遍。

  W:Different countries have different table manners. In Italy, don't put fruit on your pizza. Never ask for cheese if it's not offered. Don't ask for milk after you have eaten a lot of meat. If you eat much meat and then drink milk during a meal, your stomach will be uncomfortable.

  In America, it's important to arrive on time. Don't push your plate because that means you don't like the food. It's not polite to say “I'm full.” Just put the fork and knife on the plate, side by side. You'd better not reach across the table for anything. If the thing you want is not at hand, ask the nearest person for help.
