Different countries and different people have different manners(礼貌)．We must find out their customs(风俗)so that they will not think us ill-mannered．Here are examples of the things that a person with good education does or does not do．
If you visit a Chinese family, you should knock at the door first．When the door opens, you will not move before the host(男主人)says,“Come in, please．”After you enter the room, you will not sit down until the host asks you to take a seat．When a cup of tea is put on a tea-table before you or sent to your hands, you will say“Thank you”and receive it with both hands, not one hand, or they will think you are ill-mannered．Before entering a house in Japan, it is good manners to take off your shoes．In European countries, even though shoes sometimes become very dirty, this is not done．In a Malay house, a visitor never finishes the food on the table．He leaves a little to show that he has had enough．In England, a visitor always finishes a drink or the food to show that he has enjoyed it．This will make the host enjoy．
1．Does the writer think it is necessary to know different customs in different countries?
________________________________
2．When can you enter the room if you visit a friend in China?
________________________________
3．In which country do you have to take off your shoes when you enter your host's house?
________________________________
4．Why does a visitor always finish the food at dinner in his friend's home in England?

are the highlights. However, both events go by the same name-the Dragon Boat Festival. It falls on May 5th
of the lunar calendar.
One festival, two cultures. Does one nation have the right to call it its own? It has been reported that
South Korea will ask the United Nations Educational, Social and Cultural Organization (UNESCO联合国教
科文组织) to make the celebration its cultural heritage (文化遗产). If successful, people from other countries
may see the Dragon Boat Festival as a Korean creation.
As the birthplace of the yearly event more than 2,000 years ago, China is not happy with the situation (情
况). "It would be a shame if another country successfully made a traditional Chinese festival part of its own
cultural heritage before China," said Zhou Heping, deputy cultural minister. The Ministry of Culture is even
thinking of making its own application (申请) to UNESCO, covering all traditional Chinese festivals, including
the Dragon Boat event.
"I don't like some of the food eaten at the festival, but I am shocked by South Korea's move," said Jin
Yutong, a Senior One student."We should protect the cultural heritage left by our ancestors (祖先)."
It is thought that the festival is held in memory of the great poet Qu Yuan (340-278BC), who lived in the
State of Chu during the Warring States Period. Qu was known to be a patriot (爱国者) and admired by
ordinary people. He is said to have jumped into Miluo River, because he had lost hope in his country's future.
When people heard about Qu's death, they sailed up and down the river searching for his body. They also
beat the drums to fright away fish and threw Zongzi into water. These were supposed to stop the fish from
touching Qu. Dragon boat racing is said to have come from the search for the poet's body.
Over the years, the Dragon Boat Festival has spread throughout the world. In Japan and Vietnam, as well
as South Korea, the festival has mixed together with, and become part of the local culture.
With this in mind, some experts say that it is meaningless to argue (争论) about which country the festival
belongs. "Everyone can say that it came from China," said Long Haiqing, an expert from Hunan Province.
"But if the whole nation can protect the culture heritage together, they will all benefit."
