二、听短文，完成下列表格。
Different countries and different people have different manners. We must find out their customs, so that they will not think us impolite. Here are some examples of things that a person with good manners does or does not do. If you visit a Chinese family you should knock at the door first. When the door opens you will not move before the host says “Come in, please.” After you come into the room you won’t sit down until the host asks you to. When a cup of tea is put on a tea table before you or sent to your hand, you will say “ Thank you” and receive it with your two hands, or they will think you are not polite. Before coming into the house in Japan it is good manners to take off your shoes. In European countries, if your shoes become very dirty, this is not done. In a Malay house, a guest never finishes the food on the table .He leaves a little to show that he has had enough. In England, a guest always finishes a drink or the food to show that he has enjoyed it. This will make the host very pleased.

八、书面表达
We did a survey about middle school student’s hobbies. Here are the results. First,
most of students agree to surf the Internet. As for eating snacks, students are divided in two parts. Half agree, and half disagree. What’s more, almost all the students disagree to admire singers and movie stars. Only a few people like this hobby.
In my opinion, I don’t think eating snacks is bad for our health. For instance, we can eat some when we are hungry. Besides I disagree to admire singers or movie stars too, because they are only some fashion people in singing or acting. Another reason is that I prefer people who are intellectual and educated.
These are all of my opinions. I think we’d better spend more time on useful things.
