Can you make a telephone call? Of course you can make it in Chinese. But the call in English is quite different from the one in Chinese. If you want to ask your friend Smith to answer the telephone, you can not say, “Please ask Mr Smith to answer the telephone. ” Instead, you must say, “May I

speak to Mr Smith?” If you want to ask who is answering the telephone, you should say “Who is that?”“Is that Mr Smith(speaking)?” instead of “Who are you?” Suppose（假设）you are Brown and want to tell the other one who you are, you should say “This is Brown(speaking).” instead of “I'm Brown.”

(　　)

(2) If you want to ask who is answering the call, you should say,“Who are you?”

(　　)

(3) If Mr Brown wants to tell the other one who he is in the telephone,he should say,“I'm Brown.”

(　　)

(4) If you want to ask Mr Smith to answer the call,you should say,“May I speak to Mr Smith?”

(　　)

(5) The passage tells the different calls between in English and in Chinese.(　)

For the British, the home is private place in which he or she goes to hide away from the troubles of life. It is very seldom that one would be invited to a British person’s home. It is rude to knock on a person’s door if you are not invited. If you are invited, don’t ask to see more than the downstairs that your British host invites you into. Never ask how much the house or any of the items in if cost.

  To the American, most of them want their home to be a place where they can entertain (款待) and share their lives with their friends. They may be delighted to give you a full tour of their houses. They may also be pleased when you show your interest and pleasure in their houses.

  Both British and American people will engage in quite a bit of chat and a drink or two before the meal is served. After the first mouthful, you should say how delicious the food is and ask something about it. Remember, never eat with your mouth open and make very little noise while eating. It would be nice of you to help your host in any way. Maybe offer to pour some drinks or clear up after the meal.

When you cough or sneeze, you’d better turn your head away from others and cover your mouth with the full part of your hand. And then, you should say, “Excuse me.”

       This seems so simple, but it is surprising how many kids have never been told to do this. Actually, I notice adults all the time who cough and sneeze in public without placing a hand over the mouth. One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hands, they should wash their hands as soon as possible. If not, they will be passing those germs(细菌)along to everything and everyone they touch.

       If you come to a door and someone is following you, hold the door. If the door opens by pulling, pull it open, stand to the side, and allow the other person to pass.

       After a few weeks of seeing kids try to get through doors in the school and watching them enter restaurants as the door hit other people, I knew I had to discuss the problem with my students. Teaching them small acts of kindness, such as letting someone else go through a door first as they hold it open, may seem unimportant, but it can go a long way toward helping students realize how to be polite and think others. Once they’ve been told, they’re halfway there.

       When we have to go up moving stairs, we will stand to the right. That will give others who are in a hurry a choice of walking up the left-hand side of the moving stairs. When we are going to enter a lift, the underground, of a doorway, we will wait for others to exit before we enter.

       After college when I moved to London, I was surprised at how polite everyone was in the subways. I was even more touched when I traveled to Japan. In both places, people made effort to make way for others. On moving stairs, everyone stood to the right and walked to the left. On lifts, everyone would stand over to the side and allow others to exit before they would begin to enter.
