Question

【题目】Table manners are different all over the world. If you are a guest(客人) in India, this information will help you a lot.

In India, dinner is usually from four in the afternoon to six in the evening. But there are not strict rules about time. Whenever a guest arrives, a family offers food. When you go to a home, the person who receives guests takes you to the living room first. At this time everyone welcomes you. Then you go to the dinning room. There you wash your hands in a bowl of water. All the food is on the table.

In India you usually eat with your fingers. You eat from the same dish as everyone else. But you eat from one side of the dish only. It is not polite to get food from the other side of the dish. After dinner, you wash your hands again in a bowl of water.

Most meals in India have a dish called fufu. People in India make fufu from the powder(粉末)of some plants. Sometimes they cut the fufu with a saw（锯子）because it’s very hard. You must chew(咀嚼)fufu well, or you may get sick. You eat fufu with the fingers of your right hand only.

【解析】不同的国家有不同的餐桌礼仪，这篇短文给我们讲述的是如果你去印度人的家庭里做客，你需要注意的餐桌礼仪。

【1】根据短文第二段中In India, dinner is usually from four in the afternoon to six in the evening. But there are not strict rules about time可知，在印度，晚饭的时间并不是很严格，可以从下文四点到晚上六点。由此可知这句话是正确的。

【2】根据短文第二段中When you go to a home, the person who receives guests takes you to the living room first.可知，在印度，当你去别人家做客的时候，主人会先把你带到起居室，不是餐厅，故这句话是错误的。

【3】根据短文第三段中In India you usually eat with your fingers.可知，在印度，人们经常用手吃饭。由此可知这句话是正确的。

【4】根据短文最后一段中Sometimes they cut the fufu with a saw（锯子）because it’s very hard. You must chew(咀嚼)fufu well, or you may get sick可知，印度的一道菜教fufu，它很硬，吃的时候要细细咀嚼，不然会生病。但文章中并没有说印度的菜很难吃，故这句话是错误的。

【5】根据短文的最后一句话You eat fufu with the fingers of your right hand only.可知，在吃fufu的时候，你只能用你的右手。故这句话是正确的。
