Good manners are important, but you can easily make a social blunder when you visit a foreign country, because sometimes good manners in one place are bad manners in other places.

Suppose you visit some friends in Mongolia and they ask you to eat with them. What kind of manners do they want you to have? They want you to give a loud “burp” after you finish eating. Burping shows that you like your food. But in some other countries, if you give a loud “burp”, you are supposed to say, “Excuse me, please.”

In many places people like to eat together. But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating together. People show their good manners by turning their backs on others while they eat.

What are manners like in an East African town? The people try not to see you. When you are visiting a friend, he may not see you at all. If you are polite, you will sit down beside him. You will wait until he finishes what he is doing. Then he will talk to you.

If you visit a friend in Arabia you should walk behind other tents until you come to his tent. If you pass in front of other tents, you will be asked into each one. The people will ask you to eat with them. And it is bad manners if you say no.

Manners are different all over the world. But it is good to know that all manners help people show that they want to be friends.

1. People turn their backs to others while they eat in some places in______.

A. Mongolia

B. an East African town

C. Polynesia

C. In the East African town the people who try not to see you are not polite at all.

D. In Arabia it is polite to say no when people invite you to eat with them.

One fine afternoon I was walking along Fifth Avenue when I remembered that it was necessary to buy a pair of socks. I turned into the first sock shop that caught my eye, and a boy clerk who could not have been more than 17 years old came forward.

“What can I do for you, sir?”

“I wish to buy a pair of socks.”

His eyes glowed. “Did you know that you had come into the best place in the world to buy socks?” I had not been aware of that.

“Come with me,” said the boy happily. He began to haul (用力拖) down from the shelves box after box.

“Hold on, boy, I am going to buy only one pair!”

“I know that,” said he, “but I want you to see how beautiful these are. Aren’t they wonderful?” There was on his face an expression of joy, as if he were showing to me the mysteries of his religion.

“My friend,” said I, “if this is not just the enthusiasm (熱情) that comes from novelty (新鮮), if you can keep up this day after day, in ten years you will own every sock in the United States.”

In many shops the customer has to wait for someone to serve him. And when finally some clerk does notice you, you are made to feel as if you were disturbing him. He displays no interest either in you or in the goods he is paid to sell.

Yet possibly that very clerk who is now so cold began his career with enthusiasm. As time goes by, the enthusiasm is gradually gone; his only pleasures were found outside of working hours. He became a mechanical (機(jī)械的), not inspired, salesman.

I have observed such change in the lives of so many people in so many occupations that I have come to the conclusion that the fastest road to failure is to do things mechanically.

1.The writer was impressed by ________.

A. the boy’s young age

B. the way the boy served him

C. the beautiful socks in the shop

D. the boy’s selling skills

2.According to the writer, many shop clerks ________.

A. show no or little pleasure in serving their customers

B. have trouble in selling goods to their customers

C. become uninterested in their work because it’s hard

D. think it unnecessary to introduce their goods to the customer

3.The writer wrote this article to ________.

A. share an interesting shopping experience

B. tell a story of a successful young salesman

C. inspire people to go about their work with great interest

D. encourage sales people to become more creative in their work
