问题    Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things which
were considered impolite many years ago are acceptable. Just a   【1】______
few years ago, no man who thought of himself a gentleman         【2】______
would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in a
room.
   Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man
walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or
doesn’t it matter? What about table manners? Should you use
both hands when you are eating? Should you leave one in your     【3】______
lap, or on the table?
   The Americans and the British share large number of social    【4】______
customs. For example, in both America and England people
shake hands if they meet each other for the first time.  Also,   【5】______
most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat
to a woman, and thus will most Americans.  Promptness is         【6】______
important in both countries.
   The important thing to remember social customs is not to do   【7】______
anything that might  make  other  people  feel  comfortable—    【8】______
especially if they are your guests. There is an old story about a
man who gave a formal dinner party. When the food served, one    【9】______
of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other
guests were amused or shocked, but the host calmly picked his    【10】______
knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad
manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable. [br] 【M8】
