The well-mannered Englishman at table holds and keeps his knife in his right hand, his fork in his left, cuts his meat and presses his vegetables into his fork. The well-mannered American first cuts up all his meat, then places his knife down on the right of his plate, takes his fork in his right hand and with his fork lifts the food to his mouth. He will have coffee half way through his dinner before the pudding. The Englishman drinks his coffee after the dinner. And, of course, Americans are coffee-drinkers rather than tea-drinkers. The Englishman would be shocked at the Americans idea of how tea should be made.
The popular method to make tea is to take a cup or a pot of hot water and drop it into a cotton bag with tea leaves in it. For a change they will sometimes put a pan of water on the electric stove and, just as the water gets warm, throw in a few teaspoonfuls of tea and then pour the mixture into a tea pot, pour it from there into a cup and drink itwithout turning a hair.

Three foreign gentlemen came up to a bus-stop in London. About five minutes later the bus which they waited for came along. They prepared to get on it. Suddenly there was a noise behind them. People rushed on to the bus and tried to push them out of the way. Someone shouted at them. The three foreign gentlemen looked puzzled and embarrassed. No one had told them about the British custom of waiting for a bus so that the first who arrives at the bus-stop is the first person to get on the bus.
Learning the language of a country is not enough. One should know as much as possible about the manners and customs of different countries.Youll be surprised how different they can be from your own. For example,in India, people consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table.

When people become good at doing the things they like to do, they have found themselves.
Many young people are good at doing things they do not like; many other young people would like to do something that they are not good at. Also many do not think they are good at anything and do not know what they would like to do. None of them are happy.
It is impossible to decide whether one likes something until one has tried it. Trying something new is important.
Give each idea a fair chance. If you have decided to try out something new, and also decided how long you will stick to it, you can make a fair decision.
The best thing to judge is not the final goal but the work which takes you to reach the goal. Almost everybody would like to be highly skilled in something, but becoming highly skilled in anything calls for a great deal of time and work. Finding oneself means not only discovering what one is good at and what one likes; it also means discovering what one is not good at and what one does not like.
So trying something and failing can have its good side. It tells you that you are not fit for that particular aim and should not use it as your goal.
16. What does the underlined word “fair” in Paragraph 4 mean? ____.
A. Equal B. Wrong C. Right D. Quick
17. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? ____.
A. Becoming skilled in something is quite easy
B. If someone finds himself, he knows his strong points and weak
points
C. People can decide whether they like something before they try it
D. Failure is always bad for people
18. Why do people say failing is a good thing? ____.
A. Because you can try again
B. Because you can decide your proper goal in your life
C. You can try out something new
D. You can be good at something
19. The best thing to judge whether you have made a fair decision is
____.
A. the final goal
B. the work which takes you to reach the goal
C. whether you like something
D. whether you are good at it
20. Whats the best title for the passage? ____.
A. Find Oneself B. Failure Is a Good Thing
C. Interest Is Important D. Seize Every Chance
