Different families have different table manners. For example, some people don't talk while they eat, some do. Some people talk with their mouths full, others don't. Some people put their elbows (肘) on the table, but others consider it unacceptable.. Here's some good advice. If you're new somewhere just watch what other people do and don't do. If you follow the people you're eating with, you'll always have good table manners in their eyes.
I grew up in an old-fashioned family. The main time my family saw each other was at dinner.. We talked about our day through the dinner whether we had good stories or not.A reason we talked so much was that our parents didn't allow us to get up until we finished all of our food. Being the daughter of a Greek cook and an Italian woman, my mom always put doubleportions (双份) of delicious meals on our plates.. I still remember my father making us eat dinner for almost two hours just because we couldn't finish our food!
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
A. When we sat down to eat it was our time to talk.
B. The problem was that sometimes we couldn't finish all the food.
C. Table manners vary (变化) with different people and different situations.
D. You may find Western table manners are different from Chinese manners.
What do you read when you are travelling by train or bus? What are other people reading? Perhaps a woman sitting near you is reading a love story. A man is reading a serious biography(自传) about a president. And there's a student reading an English textbook.
What do their choices(选择) say about them? Do you think you can know them by what they are reading? I have got to tell you that your feelings of them may be quite wrong. The woman reading the love story could be a lawyer. She just wants a light read to take her mind off work. The man reading the biography wants you to think that he is very clever. The student reading the textbook isn't a student at all. She's an English teacher.
Publishers(出版商) know that some people care what they read on trains or buses and so they put out different types of covers. For example, books about Harry Potter have a cartoon cover for young readers and then another more serious cover for grown—ups.
So next time you are on a train, look around and see what other people are reading, but don't jump to any conclusions(结论). You will be wrong maybe.
Here is a sentence that you could say, “Don't judge(判断) a book by its cover”.
