Reading strategy
As we read, we need to find “topic sentence”. These sentences usually give us a “summary”, or overall meaning of each paragraph and help us understand what the paragraph is about. After the topic sentence comes more detail and explanation.
阅读时需要找到“主题句”。这些句子通常是一段文字的段落大意。了解主题句有助于我们理解整段文章。
Task 1.
Read the first two paragraphs. Try to underline
the topic sentence of each paragraph.
Task 2.
Try to answer the following questions.
1. Is etiquette very useful to understand ？
2. Do different countries have the same etiquettes
3. Is etiquette the same in different situations(场合)
Paragraph 1
If you spend some time in an English-speaking country, you might hear the term（术语） ‘etiquette’. It means normal and polite social behavior. This may seem like a difficult word at first（首先）, but it can be very useful to understand.
Would you mind keeping your voice down
Paragraph 2
Etiquette is not the same in every culture, or in every situation. For example, standing very close to the person you are talking with is quite common in some Asian （亚洲的） countries. However, if you do this in Europe（欧洲）, some people might feel uncomfortable（不舒服的）. Even in China, we all know that etiquette is not the same in all situations. Perhaps we think that talking loudly in our own homes is fine, but there are other places where talking loudly is not allowed（允许）. For example, most people would agree that talking loudly in a library, a museum, or a movie theater is impolite（无礼的）. Even if you are with your friends, it is better to keep your voice down in public（公共的） places. In fact, we should also take care（小心、当心） not to cough（咳嗽） or sneeze （打喷嚏）loudly in public.

Paragraph 3
If we see someone breaking the rules(违反规则) of etiquette, we may give them some suggestions politely （客气地）. Perhaps one of the most polite ways is to ask someone, Would you mind doing this or Would you mind not doing that. For example, if someone cuts in front of you in line（插队）, you could ask them, Sorry, would you mind joining the line If someone is smoking on the bus, we could ask, Excuse me, could you please put out（熄灭） that cigarette（香烟） People don’t usually like to be criticized（批评）, so we have to be careful （小心、当心）how we do this.
Paragraph 4
Although rules of etiquette can often be different, some rules are the same almost everywhere in the world! For example, dropping (扔,丢)litter(垃圾) is almost never allowed. If you see someone you know doing this, you can ask them, would you mind picking it up(捡起)
