they will not think us impolite. 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 says "Come in, please." After you enter the room, you would 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 hand, you will say "Thank
you" and receive it with two hands, not one hand, or they will think you have ill manners. Before entering a
house in Japan, it is a good manner to take off your shoes. In European countries, even though shoes sometimes
become very dirty, this is not done. In a Malay (马来人的) 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 finished a drink or the food to
show that he has enjoyed it. This will make the host pleased. | | 1. According to the passage, people have different _______ in different countries. | A. manners

when we pay attention to the way words are used. Let"s look at the words about animals and plants. Most
expressions in Chinese about the dog, for example, "a homeless dog", "a mad dog", "a running dog" and "a
dog catching a mouse", have negative (消极的) meanings. But in western countries, dogs are thought to be
honest and good friends of humans. In English, people use the dog to describe positive (积极的) actions.
For example," you are a lucky dog" means you are a lucky person. And "every dog has its day" means each
person has good luck sometimes. To describe a person"s serious illness, they say "sick as a dog". The word
"dog-tired" means very tired. However, Chinese love cats very much. But in western culture, "cat" is often
used to describe a woman who is cruel (冷酷的). There are many other examples of how "cat" is used
differently as well.
The rose is regarded as a symbol (象征) of love in both China and some western countries. People think
the rose stands for (代表) love, peace (和平), courage and friendship. And the rose is the national flower of
England, America and many other countries.
The words about plants and animals are used in positive or negative ways in different cultures. We can
learn about many differences in cultures by comparing how some words are used. | | 1. The word "dog" in Chinese usually ______. | A. shows peace
