  Whether it's dinner at a friend's house or a business meeting over lunch, we judge people 1 to their table manners. 2 what can you do if your kids are burping(打饱嗝) and slurping(出声地吃东西) their way through dinner?

  Dr. Alex Packer, psychologist and the author of How Rude, The Teenagers Guide to Good Manners, Proper Behavior, and Not Grossing People Out, recommends(推荐) these seven steps to 3 your child on the road to good manners:

  Look for the good. 4 pointing out all the things your child does wrong, point out what she does 5 . Say, “I was so proud of you when we went to the Joneses for dinner. It was wonderful the way you served yourself when the platter(主菜盘) passed by.”

  Don't turn dinner into a/an 6 “lecture time.” That will turn kids off not only to manners, but to dinner, and to you, too.

  Check your own example. Don't show up for dinner in just your underwear(内衣) 7 you want your kids to do the same.

  Don't label(贴标签) your child as a slob(粗俗平庸的人). 8 , point out the behavior in a neutral(中立的), practical way. For example: “It's a good idea to unfold your napkin so if food falls you won't dirty your clothes.”

  Approach manners as a game. One night a week, try to have a somewhat more 9 dinner. Try dressing up, serve a special meal, and expect more formal manners. That will help improve your kids' social graces(风度).

  Make kids part of the tradition. Invite guests 10 and let kids help serve hors d'oeuvres(餐前开胃小吃). This helps them indirectly learn about the manners that surround eating.

  Try dining out once in a while. Fast food restaurants 11 make a difference. Try a nice restaurant and allow kids to order their own food, and help in paying the bill and figuring out the tip.

  And Dr. Packer says not to lose heart if your kids' manners at home are 12 . “Often these same kids show very good behavior outside the house. If you're getting positive reports from outside the home, that's great. You can trust them.”

Many people like to eat at a favorite restaurant on their birthday.   71  Here are the tips about how to eat for free on your birthday.
Notice promotional (促销的) cards or signs at restaurants for their e-club or online notification of special offers. Sometimes it is called a birthday club. In some cases they ask for your email address and at other times, you register online from your own computer.   72 
If you don’t know whether your favorite restaurant has an e-club, look them up online. Just search their name if it’s a chain. Look over the webpage for anything that says SIGN UP or JOIN. It may call it an e-club.
You will receive e-mail advertisements from them.   73  if it asks for birthday and anniversary dates when you sign up, then the restaurant usually will send you a personal coupon and invitation for that event.
Check your e-mail the week leading up to your birthday. All the e-clubs that you signed up for will be sending their invitations.
Read the fine print on all the offers before deciding where to eat on your birthday. Some are only on the exact date.   74  There may be other requirements, like free dessert when you buy an entree (主菜).
Choose the most inviting offer or over several days, take advantage of free dining opportunities. __75 

A.Anyway, look around for these offers and get signed up.
B.However, others may be for any time over a two-week period.
C.But how can we eat better in a free restaurant?
D.It would be an even greater treat if the meal or part of the meal were free.
E.      Why not celebrate your birthday for a whole week, not just one day?
F.      Often the advertisements will include discount coupons(优惠券).
G.     So don’t go to such restaurant.
