52.我一直惦记着这件事。

                        A 

    From the time we were babies,we have been taught our manners (礼仪). We are taught how to hold a knife and a fork and not to talk with our mouths full. We are taught how to shake hands and when to stand and when to sit and the way to introduce people.

    Sometimes good manners in one place are very bad manners somewhere else. Almost everywhere eating together means that you are friendly to each other. But in parts of Polynesia (波利尼西亚) it is bad manners to be seen eating at all. They politely turn their backs on each other when they are taking food.

   Some East Africans spit (吐 口水) four times as a kind of blessing. They do it to show that they want a sick person to get well,or to bless a newlyborn baby. In most other places,spitting means just something completely different. It’s something to do to show that you hate someone.

   When we go to visit someone we say “Hello”，and“How are you” and things like that. If you were visiting an East African village,everyone would be very careful not to pay any attention to you. The polite thing there would be for you to go quietly,without speaking to anyone,and sit beside your friend. You would wait until he had finished what he was doing and then he would begin talking to you.

   In a village in Arab,a visitor walks behind all the tents until he gets to the one he wants to visit. If he passed in front,he would be invited into each tent and asked to eat. It was rude to refuse.
