 In England recently three for

eign gentlemen came to a bus stop and waited . About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way . Someone shouted at them. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreigners seem all at sea and looked embarrassed . No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus .Learning the language of a country isn't enough. 

If you want to have a pleasant visit, findout as much as possible about the manners and 

customs of your host country. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be 

from your own. 

A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washingyourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that hedoesn't agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement.Nodding your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty .  

 In that country, you shake your head to mean 'yes'— a nod means 'no' . At a meal in

countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeated refilled as soon as you drink up . If you think

 that you have had enough , you should take the cup or glasses in

your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top. 

  In Europe it isquite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring about trouble . Also, you should try to avoidtouching the head of an adult---it's just notdone in Thailand .   

11.The British people tried to push the three gentlemen out of the way, because thegentlemen _________ .    

A. were foreigners     B. didn't have tickets    

C. made a loud noise    D. didn't line up for the bus  

12. In India it is considered impolite ___________.    

 A. to use the right hand for passing food at table.    

B. to pass food with the left hand. 

C. to eat food with your hands.    

D. to help yourself at table.  

13. To cross one's legs at an important meeting in Europe is _______. 

   A. a common  habit     B. an important manner 

   C. a serious  trouble    D. a bad manner  

 14. According to the article, if you want to have a pleasant journey in a foreign country, you should _________.    

A. learn the language of the country 

B.understand the manners and customs of the country    

C. have enough time and money    

D. make friends with the people there  

15. The best title  for this article is ________. 

   A. People's Everyday Life    B. Mind Your Manners  

C. Shaking and Nodding Head   D. Taking a Bus in England
