　 We say that a person has good manners if he or she is polite kind and helpful to others. Everyone likes a person with good manners. But no one likes a person with bad or careless manners. "Yes" you say, " but what are good manners? How do I know what to do and what not to do?"

　　 Here are some examples of these things. They tell you what a person with good manners does or does not do.

　　 He never laughs at people when they are in trouble. Instead he tries to help them. He is always kind, never cruel(残酷), either to people or to animals. When people are waiting for a bus, or in a post office, he takes his turn. He does not push to the front !　 On the bus, he gives his seat to an old person or a lady. If he, by accident, knocks someone, or gets in their way, he says, "Excuse me" or "I'm sorry".

　　 He says "Please" when he asks somebody to help. He says "Thank you " when he receives something. He stands up when he speaks to a lady or an older person. And he does not sit down until the other person does. He does no talk or laugh loudly in public.

　 However, difficult countries have different manners. When　 you enter a house in some Asian countries, it is good manners to take off your shoes. In European countries,　 even though shoes sometimes become very dirty, this is not done. In Japan , the guest and host bow to each other. But in some other countries they only nod or shake hands. A guest in a Chinese house seldom(很少) finishes a drink. He leaves a little to show that he has had enough. In England, a guest　 always finishes a drink to show that he has enjoyed it.

　　 But no matter how different the manners are, people all over the world agree that good manners really mean to be kind and helpful to others, especially those older or weaker than themselves. If you remember this, you will not go for far wrong.

　　 In English --as in any other language --we do not always say what we mean or mean what we say. This is true of some of the things we say every day. For 　example, "How do you do?" "How are you?" This is what people say on meeting . Sometimes they stop and shake hands. "How are you?" looks like a question. It is written with a question mark( 问号) after it. And sometimes "How are you ?" is a question. One person may want to know if another is well or ill ----how his health is ----and so on.

　 When these ar questions they are almost always said as if(好象)the person who says them wants an answer.

　 But most of the time they are said in a way which does not ask　 for any answer. When these words are said so, we do not answer "I am tired," or "I have a bad cold," or "I am not well." We say the same thing back to the other person. "How are you?"or "Hello". Such　 words are like a smile or a wave of the hand.

　 In the same way, when we meet someone in the morning we may say "Good morning!" The weather may be very bad but we say "Good morning!" and the other person will say "Good morning" back to us. We are not talking about the weather or about how good or bad the morning is.

　 Again, when people are parting(分手), they may say "Good morning!" or "Good afternoon!" or "Good evening!" or "Good night!" to one another instead of "Good-bye!" They are not talking about the weather but saying　 " May all be well with you at this time!"

You will find few people today who know that "Good -bye!" is a short way of saying "God be with you!"(上帝保佑你). But in times past, when religion (宗教)had more place than it now has in education, a child could be taught this very young as part of his knowledge of English.
