  Harry Mendis, a 15-year-old British schoolboy, had a long hiccup(打嗝)at the end of last month.

  His hiccups began one Sunday lunchtime and lasted for two weeks.After the first week, Harry's parents took him to hospital, but it took another week for the doctors to cure(治愈)him.

  Harry who is now back at school is talking about his hiccups.

  “When I began to hiccup, I drank a glass of water, but that didn't work.That evening I had hiccups every four seconds.I tried many ways to stop them.I held my breath(屏住呼吸)and drank cold drinks.My father even tried to give me a shock, but that didn't work, either.After a week of sleepless nights, I went to hospital.The doctors couldn't find anything wrong.They gave me some medicine and my hiccups slowed down, but it was another week before the medicine worked completely(完全)and my hiccups stopped.”

People in different countries have different ways of doing things. Something that is polite in one country may be quite impolite in another. In Britain, you mustn’t lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having some liquid (液体) food. But it’s different in China. And in Japan you even needn’t worry about making noises when you have it. It shows that you are enjoying it. But it is regarded as bad manners in Britain. If you are a visitor in Mongolia, what manners do they wish you to have? They wish you to give a loud “burp”(打嗝) after you finish eating, Burping shows that you like the food.
In Britain, you should try not to put your hands on the table when you’re having a meal. In Mexico, however, guests are expected to keep their hands on the table during a meal. But in Arab countries you must be very careful with your hands. You mustn’t eat with your left hand. Arabs consider it very bad manners eating with left hands. So, what should you do if you are on a visit in another country? Well, just do in Rome as the Romans do. You can ask the native (本土的)people to help you or just watch carefully and follow them.
