In England recently three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop and waited. About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way. Someone shouted at them. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreigners seem all at sea and looked embarrassed (窘迫的). No one had told them about the British custom (习惯)of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus .
Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement. Nodding your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty. In that country, you shake your head to mean 'yes'— a nod means ‘no’. At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeated refilled as soon as you drink up. If you think that you have had enough, you should take the cup or glasses in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.
In Europe it’s quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring about trouble. Also, you should try to avoid (避免)touching the head of an adult ——it's just not done in Thailand .
【小题1】 The British people tried to push the three gentlemen out of the way, because the gentlemen _________.

Everything has a name．All people，places，and things have names．For example，Jenny is the name of a student from England．England is the name of a country．Cities and towns have names，too．Schools and office buildings also have names．For example，tomato，potato and bean are names of vegetables．Apple，orange，and banana are names of fruit．Names are important．We use names every day．When we meet a new person，we usually ask，“What’s your name?”It’s important to learn a person’s name．Most people have two names．Some people have more names．Names are different all over the world．In Jenny’s class．Jenny must learn the names of the students from all over the world．This is very difficult because the names are very different．
In the United States，most people have a first name，a middle name and a last name．Parents choose the first and middle names for their babies．There are names for boys and names for girls．The last name is the family name．Usually it is the father’s family name．In a family，the mother, the father, and the children usually have the same last name．
Sometimes a person has a nickname，too．A nickname is a special（特有的）name．It’s not a person’s real name．Abraham Lincoln’s nickname was“Honest Abe”．An honest person（一个诚实的人）always tells the truth，and Abe is short for Abraham．Because he was an honest person．his nickname was Honest Abe．Pele（贝利）is a nickname，too．The football player’s real name is Edison Aeraesde Nascimento，but everyone calls him Pele．Do you have a nickname?
Names are different all over the world．They can be long or short．but they are always very important

Many students feel it is difficult to remember new words when they begin to study English. Now I will give you some advice.
Do not waste time in learning the word list. It is not a good way to remember new words. The best way to learn new words is through listening. You can find radio programmes or TV programmes. And listen to them carefully. When you listen to the conversations, you will learn the pronunciation easily. Of course, it is not enough; you have to remember their spellings.
Some people find that they can learn the names of everyday objects such as box, bottle, cup, desk and so on, in the following way. They write the names of things on paper, and then they read the words on the paper. Try this and see if this way works for you. If it does not work, then go on to practise listening to the conversations.
