Table Manners

A Westerner doesn't leave his napkin (paper or cloth) on the table. He puts it on his lap where it's supposed to protect his clothes from spilled food or used to wipe his hands or mouth when necessary.

A Westerner doesn't put his own utensils (fork, knife, spoon) into a serving bowl. He uses the utensil in the bowl (generally a large spoon or fork) to put some of the food on his own plate, and then returns the serving utensil to the bowl.

A Westerner doesn't spit food anywhere. If he has bones in his mouth, he takes them out with his fingers and places them on the edge of his plate, never on the table.

A Westerner doesn't drink soup or other liquids out of a bowl. He uses a spoon.

A Westerner doesn't reach across the table or in front of another person. He asks someone to pass whatever he wants.

However, the wit ness was evidently nervous and Burton took considerable pains to go over the ground thoroughly, choosing and checking each word to be precise and taking the man's statement down in longhand himself. The witness had called the police, he'd waited until the ambulances began to arrive then when the first police car arrived on the scene he'd been asked to report to the station which is what he had done.

Burton explained that regrettably it would be necessary for him to go to court because of the serious nature of the disaster. More he could not say at present. He'd be grateful if the man would stay in contact with the police.

When he had gone, Burton put his head in his hands and considered be fore asking for the next witness. He couldn't be regarded as a hundred per cent witness because he had been behind a wall when the explosion occurred. But in spite of his nerves, Burton had the impression that he was reliable, not afraid of incriminating himself and a fairly accurate observer.

So as he began to walk, he felt very uncomfortable(不舒服). When he was just out of the house, he turned to his son and said, "Why should one of my legs be longer than the other today？"

The son looked at his father's legs carefully as he was walking and then laughed, "Oh, no, Daddy, your legs are all right. You have put on the wrong shoes."

The farmer was very happy to hear that and said to himself, "What a clever son I have got!" Then he asked his son to go back and get the other pair of shoes for him. The farmer had only two pairs of shoes.

When the son ran back to the house, he found that the other pair was also a pair of wrong shoes.

man at the lounge. The Japanese businessman, arms extending downwards from his shoulders, bowed from his waist toward the American businessman to whom he was just introduced. His eyes were directed ahead, his face showed no particular expression.

Food for space has to be packed in special ways. Some of it goes into tubes that a man can squeeze into his mouth. Bite-sized cookies are packed in plastic.

There is a good reason for covering each bite. The plastic keeps pieces of food from traveling in the spaceship. On the earth very small pieces of food would simply fall to the floor. But gravity doesn't pull them to the floor when they are out of the plastic in a spaceship. (78) They move here and there and can get into a man's eyes or into the spaceship's instruments. If any of the instruments is blocked, the astronauts may have trouble getting safely home.

As astronauts travel on longer space trips, he must take time to sleep. An astronaut can fit himself to his seat with a kind of seat belt. Or, if he wants to, he can sleep in a sleeping bag which is fixed in place under his seat. But be careful he must put his hands under the belt when he goes to sleep. This is because he is really afraid that he might touch one of controls that isn't supposed to be touched until later.

Why would astronauts cover each bite of food in space？

A．Because small pieces of food would fall down to the floor.

B．Because weightless pieces of food might make trouble when they travel around.

C．Because they haven't enough food for longer trips.

D．Because astronauts don't want to waste food.
