Jess really felt very happy. When he arrived at his seat in the classroom that morning, he
found an invitation(请柬)on his desk. It was from some of his classmates asking him to join their
camping trip. This was the first time he was asked to join in an out-of-school activity. Why were
they asking him now? Nobody seemed(似乎)to like him. In fact, he had been so lonely (孤独) that
he ate a lot to make himself feel less lonely. As a result, he had put on a lot of weight, and this gave
the children something more to make fun of him.
Cindy, who was standing near Jess when he read the invitation, went out quickly to tell the
others that the trick had worked. Everyone was happy that Jess thought that was true. But there was
no camping trip. The whole thing was made up.
At first, Cindy thought it was fun. But later, when Jess told her that he was going to buy a

People in different countries have different ways of doing things. Something that is polite in
one country may be quite impolite in another. In Britain, you mustn’t lift (举起) your bowl to
your mouth when you are having some soup. But it’s different in China. And in Japan you even
needn’t worry about making a noise when you have it. It shows that you are enjoying it. Making
a noise is considered as (被认为) bad manners (举止,礼仪) in Britain. If you are a visitor in
Mongolia, what manners do they wish you to have? They wish you to give a loud “burp” (打嗝)
after you finish eating. Burping shows that you like the food.
In Britain, you should try not to put your hands on the table when you’re having a meal. In
Mexico, however, they hope you keep the hands on the table during a meal. But Arabians
consider you must be very careful with your hands. You mustn’t eat with your left hand.
Arabians consider it very bad manners eating with left hands. So, what should you do if you are
on a visit in another country? Well, you can ask the local people to help you or just watch
carefully and follow them if you are on a visit in another country.
53. It is impolite to lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having some soup in _________.
A. Britain B. China C. Japan D. Mexico
54. In Mongolia, burping after eating shows that _________.
A. you are rude B. you are hungry C. you dislike the food D. you like the food
55. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. People in different countries have different ways of doing things.
B. British people are very polite.
C. You mustn’t eat with your left hand.
D. Don’t worry about making a noise when you have soup.
