Have you heard of the term “etiquette” And do you know that etiquette is not only a useful word 46 very useful to understand?

Etiquette is not the same in every culture 47 in every situation. For example, standing very close to the person you are talking with is quite common in some Asian countries. However; if you do this in Europe, some 48 people might feel 49.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 50 .For example ,most people would agree that talking loudly in a library, a museum, or a movie theater is 51 .Even if you are with your friends, it is better to keep your voice 52 in public places. In fact, we should also 53 not to cough or sneeze loudly in public.

If we see someone 54 the rules of etiquette, we may politely give them some suggestions. Perhaps one of the most polite ways 55 ask someone, Would you mind doing this or Would you mindnot doing that. For example, if someone cuts 56 you in a line, you could ask them, Sorry, would you mind 57 the line? If someone is smoking on the bus you could ask, Excuse me, could you please 58 that cigarette? People don’t usually like 59 , so we have to be careful how we do this.

Although rules of etiquette can often be different, some rules are the same almost everywhere in the world! For example, 60 is almost never allowed. If you see someone you know doing this, you can ask them, Would you mind picking it up?

Alice is a young woman. She likes to exercise for her health. She walks five kilometers before breakfast every morning, and goes swimming twice a week at the swimming pool. She doesn’t smoke and never drinks wine(酒). She doesn’t eat chocolate, and she doesn’t eat sweet and fatty foods.
One day Alice was on her daily walk when she saw a man sitting in a chair. He looked very old and his hair was white. He looked thin and weak, and his hands were shaking(发抖), but he looked very happy.
He smiled at her and said, “ Good morning! Lovely day, isn’t it?”
He had a big smile on his face, and his eyes showed his happiness. But Alice saw that he had no teeth.
“Good morning!” said Alice. “Yes, it’s a lovely day.”
Alice thought he was old and clever. She thought he must be more than 90 years old. She wanted to ask him about the secret of a happy old age.
“Excuse me. But what is your secret for being so happy at your age? I hope I can look as happy as you do when I am your age.”
The man in the chair said, “My secret for happiness? I smoke every day, and drink three bottles of wine every day. I eat hamburgers, I eat chocolate and I never eat vegetables. I never walk anywhere and I never play sports. I sit and watch TV all day.”
