Social customs and the ways of behaving change. Things that were considered impolite many years ago are acceptable . Just a few years ago, it was considered to be impolite behavior for a man to smoke on the street . No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in the room.

Customs are also different from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or on the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn’t it matter? What about table manners?

The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a wonman or offer their seat to a woman , and so will most Americans. Promptness is important both in England and in America. That is , if a dinner invitation is for 6 o'clock , the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.

The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable especially if they are your guests. There is an old story about a man who gave a very formal dinner party. When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were amused or greatly surprised , but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. I t would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.

1.The underlined phrase” make fool of himself” in the first passage means____

A．make himself strong                     B．make himself rich

C．make himself comfortable                 D．cause himself to seem like a fool

2.According to the passage , the American and British _____

A．don’t speak the same language

B．don’t have social custom in common

C．do share a lot of social customs

D．do have the exactly same social customs

3.If a dinner invitation is for six o’clock , the guest is supposed to arrive at ____ six

A．nearly a minute or two later than           B．a(chǎn) quarter to

C．a(chǎn) quarter to                            D．much later than

4.The last example in the passage shows____

A．The correct way to use a knife at table

B．that it is good manners not to make your guests feel foolish or uncomfortable

C．that social customs and ways of behaving change too fast

D．promptness is important both in England and in America

A．Social Customs and Customs               B．Social Life
