II. 阅读短文,了解世界各地的餐桌礼仪。
Around the world, people have different ideas about what good table manners are. In India, for example, people only eat with their hands. You take food from one dish on the table, usually a kind of bread or rice, mix it with food from another dish and then put it in your mouth. Your right hand stays still. Eating with left hand is very rude.
In western countries people don’t usually share the same dishes. Everyone has his and her own plate of food. You eat with a knife or a fork and you shouldn’t wave them around when you aren’t eating. And you should try not to be noisy when eating. People think that’s bad table manners!
When you go to restaurants in different parts of the world, it’s important to know what people think is rude. For example, in China it’s OK to be noisy in a restaurant. In fact, if a restaurant isn’t noisy, you may think it’s not very good. However, in many western countries, restaurants are quiet places. If a table is too noisy, other customers might not be happy.
Paying for the meal is also different from country to country. In China, one person usually pays for everyone. In western countries, when friends eat together, they usually share the cost. This is called “going Dutch”. Also, when westerners pay the check, they usually leave some money for the waiter. This is called “leaving a tip”. Not leaving a tip is very rude. In the U.S., it’s common to leave tips of 10%, 15%, or 20% of the check. The amount depends on how good the waiter is. Good waiters can get a lot of money!
The way people eat food is different around the world, but you can find the same kinds of food in many countries. Chinese and Italian food, for example, are popular all over the world.
III. 西方国家餐桌上的礼仪。
1. 就座时，身体要端正，手肘不要放在桌面上，不可跷足，与餐桌的距离以便于使用餐具为佳。餐台上已摆好的餐具不要随意摆弄。将餐巾对折轻轻放在膝上。
2. 使用刀叉进餐时，从外侧往内侧取用刀叉，要左手持叉，右手持刀；切东西时左手拿叉按住食物，右手执刀将其切成小块，用叉子送入口中。使用刀时，刀刃不可向外。进餐中放下刀叉时应摆成“八”字型，分别放在餐盘边上。刀刃朝向自身，表示还要继续吃。每吃完一道菜，将刀叉并拢放在盘中。如果是谈话，可以拿着刀叉，无需放下。不用刀时，可用右手持叉，但若需要做手势时，就应放下刀叉，千万不可手执刀叉在空中挥舞摇晃，也不要一手拿刀或叉，而另一支手拿餐巾擦嘴，也不可一手拿酒杯，另一支手拿叉取菜。要记住，任何时候，都不可将刀叉的一端放在盘上，另一端放在桌上。 　　
3. 喝汤时不要出声，吃东西时要闭嘴咀嚼。不要舔 嘴唇或咂嘴发出声音。如汤菜过热，可待稍凉后再吃，不要用嘴吹。喝汤时，用汤勺从里向外舀，汤盘中的汤快喝完时，用左手将汤盘的外侧稍稍翘起，用汤勺舀净即可。吃完汤菜时，将汤匙留在汤盘（碗）中，匙把指向自己。
　　4. 吃鱼、肉等带刺或骨的菜肴时，不要直接外吐，可用餐巾捂嘴轻轻吐在叉上放入盘内。如盘内剩余少量菜肴时，不要用叉子刮盘底，更不要用手指相助食用，应以小块面包或叉子相助食用。吃面条时要用叉子先将面条卷起，然后送入口中。
　　5. 面包一般掰成小块送入口中，不要拿着整块面包去咬。抹黄油和果酱时也要先将面包掰成小块再抹。
6. 吃鸡时，欧美人多以鸡胸脯肉为贵。吃鸡腿时应先用力将骨去掉，不要用手拿着吃。吃鱼时不要将鱼翻身，要吃完上层后用刀叉将鱼骨剔掉后再吃下层。吃肉时，要切一块吃一块，块不能切得过大，或一次将肉都切成块。 　　
7. 喝咖啡时如添加牛奶或糖后要用小勺搅拌均匀，将小勺放在咖啡的垫碟上。喝时应右手拿杯把，左手端垫碟，直接用嘴喝，不要用小勺一勺一勺地舀着喝。吃水果时，不要拿着水果整个去咬，应先用水果刀切成四瓣再用刀去掉皮、核、用叉子叉着吃。
8. 用刀叉吃有骨头的肉，可以用手拿着吃。若想吃得更优雅，还是用刀较好。用叉子将整片肉固定（可将叉子朝上，用叉子背部压住肉），再用刀沿骨头插人，把肉切开。最好是边切边吃。必须用手吃时，会附上洗手水。当洗手水和带骨头的肉一起端上来时，表示“请用手吃”。用手指拿东西吃后，将手指放在装洗手水的碗里洗净。吃一般的菜时，如果把手指弄脏，也可请侍者端洗手水来，注意洗手时要轻轻地洗。 　　
9. 吃面包可蘸调味汁吃到连调味汁都不剩，是对厨师的礼貌。注意不要把面包盘子“舔”得很干净，而要用叉子叉住已撕成小片的面包，再蘸一点调味汁来吃。
