Around the world, people have different ideas about what good table manners are. In India, 11 , people only eat with their right hands.

In western countries, people do not usually share the same dishes. Everyone has his or her own plate of food. You eat with a knife and fork and you 13 wave them around when you are not eating.

三、閱讀理解(每小題2分，共26分)(共13小題;每小題2分，滿分26分)
A
Different countries have different customs in giving presents.
IN CHINA you must never give a clock to a Chinese person, because the sound of the word for "clock" is similar to the sound for "death" in Chinese. Also, don't wrap (包裹) a present in white, black, or blue paper, because these are the colors for funerals (葬禮). Don't give a knife, because something sharp (鋒的) can cut a friendship.
IN RUSSIA if we give flowers as a present, we have to give odd numbers of them (one, three, five, etc) because even numbers of flowers (two, four, six, etc) are for funerals.
IN GERMANY flowers are a good present to take in your dinner hostess, but don't take her red roses because it means you are in love with her. Don't take thirteen of anything because it's an unlucky number. Don't take an even number of anything, either. Don't wrap your present in white, brown, or black paper.

As we know，there are differences between western culture and Chinese culture. 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(消極的) meanings.
But in western countries, people think dogs are honest and good friends of humans. In English, people use the dog to describe positive (積極的)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.
The rose is regarded as (被看作)a symbol of love in both China and some western countries.People think the rose means love, peace, 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.
( ) 26. "You are a lucky dog" means "_______".
A. Everybody in the world is lucky
B. Each person lives his own way of life

七、閱讀表達(共5小題;每小題2分，滿分10分)
It’s true that every country has its customs.
We all know that in America if people are pleased with you, they will give you a sign “OK”. But maybe you don’t know that people think this sign is rude in Brazil.
In Poland, guests usually choose flowers as presents for hostesses(女主人). Remember the number must be an odd one. And the hostess doesn’t hope that you remove the cover of the bunch(束)of flowers. You must be more careful when you give red roses to a woman because the red rose means love.
In China we often hear people say that “nodding” means agreement(同意). And “shaking the head” means disagreement. But in Bulgaria they mean the opposite.
We really need to pay more attention to the differences in customs. What’s more, we should learn more about them in order to avoid embarrassment (尷尬). Do remember: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
