In 1608 an Englishman called Thomas travelled in Italy. He liked the country and   2  down everything interesting. But he found one thing    1  interesting than others. In his diary Thomas wrote, “   3  Italians eat meat, they use small forks. They don’t eat with hands because, as they say, people don’t always have    4   hands.” Before he went home, Thomas bought a few   5  . One day he invited his friends to dinner at home. He took out a fork and wanted to   6  the steak(牛排) as Italians did. His friends were very   7  . Thomas told them what the fork was. But they all thought the fork was not easy to use at all. Thomas tried to prove that his friends were 8  . But the first    9   he took with the fork fell onto the floor. His friends began to    10   at him and he had to take the forks away. Fifty years later, people in England began to use forks.

People in different countries have different ways of doing things. Something　is  1  in one country, but  it may be quite impolite in another. In Britain, you mustn`t lift your bowl to your    2    when you are having some liquid(液体)food. But it’s     3   in China.  And  in  Japan you even needn`t worry  about making   4    while you are having it . It shows that you`re enjoying it . But people in Britain think it is bad manners . If you are a visitor in Mongolia ,what manners do they wish    5  to have ? They wish you to have a loud“burp”( 打嗝)     6     you finish eating .Burping shows that you like the food .

In  Britain , you should  try not   to   7  your  hands on  the table when you’re having a meal .But in Arab (阿拉伯)countries you must be very careful with your hands . You   8    eat with your left hand .Arabs consider (认为)it very    9   manners eating with left hands .So when you are in other countries ,   10    carefully and follow them .As a saying goes , “Do as the Romans do .”

One day my mum came to 　42  hello to me in primary school. I was so embarrassed（尴尬的） that I threw her a hateful  43 and ran out.

The next day at school, one of my classmates said, “Your mum only has one eye!” and  44  at me.

I hated my mum and decided to leave her, so I studied very hard. Later I got a chance to go abroad to study and I left my mother.　45　graduation I worked, bought a house and got   46  there. Then I had kids of my own. I was happy with my wife and my kids. But one day someone knocked at my door. It was my 47  !When she stood by the door, my children laughed at her, and I  48  at her, “How dare you come to my house and scare my children!

I am thinking  53 you all the time. I’m sorry that I came to your house and scared your 　54　 .

I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion. But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see you. I’m sorry that I was still an embarrassment to you when you were growing up.

You see…when you were very little, you got into an accident, and lost your eye. As a mother, I couldn’t stand watching you grow up with one eye. So I gave you   55  .

  …  With all my love to you!

Your mother
