Gift-giving, table manners: what’s acceptable at home doesn’t necessarily apply in other countries. Here are 8 distinctive customs to use as your passport to new experiences and friendships.
Avoid giving certain flowers in Russia
Be careful when presenting flowers to a friend or business associate in Russia. Yellow blooms signify deceit(欺骗) or a relationship break-up. Skip red carnations, too. Traditionally, red carnation are placed on the grave of the dead.
Don’t expect a “Thank You” card for these gifts in China
Clocks, straw sandals(草鞋) are all associated with death and funerals in China. Deemed inappropriate and morbid, you’ll risk damaging relationship if you present these gifts-for any occasion-to someone in China.
Skip the salt in Egypt
When tucking into a meal in Egypt, by-pass the saltshaker. It’s insulting(侮辱的) to your host to sprinkle salt on your food. If you have to season your plate, it means that you find the meal’s taste disgusting.
Don’t show up on time in Venezuela
Here’s one place where being early or on time is viewed as being rude. In Venezuela if you are invited to someone’s home for a meal, it’s recommended that you arrive 10-15 minutes later than the requested time. Early or on time guests are viewed as being too eager, even greedy(贪婪的).
Always use a knife and fork in Norway
In Norway, table manners are extremely important. Most meals, including sandwiches, are eaten using utensils(餐具).
Be “blunt” in the Netherlands
Gift giving should be a happy, positive experience. When selecting a present for someone in the Netherland, don’t purchase fancy kitchen knives or scissors. Giving sharp, pointy objects as gifts is considered unlucky.
Red equals dead in Korea
Writing a lot of cards or notes while visiting South Korea? Be mindful of your pen’s ink color. Scrawling(潦草地写) a person’s name in red ink traditionally signifies that the person is deceased, which means dead.
Stick to the sauna(桑拿浴) in Finland
In Finland, saunas are a preferred way to relax and socialize with family and friends. Don’t be surprised if your business meeting is followed up with an invite to let off some steam in a local sauna. If you receive such a request, rest assured that your business meeting went well.

What things are acceptable(可接受的) when you are at the dinner table and what things are serious breaches(违犯) of manners?
I will tell you some of the most important American rules of table manners. When you sit down to eat, you should place the napkin across your lap. You should never talk with your mouth full and should chew with your mouth closed. If someone asks you a question while you are chewing, you should finish chewing and then swallow(吞咽) the food before answering. You should never drop scraps on the table; instead place them on a spare plate. Salt and pepper(胡椒粉) will be at the table, but you should taste your food before adding any. Only put food on someone else’s plate if they ask for it and if they say they do not want anything else to eat or drink then you will not give them anything else. Do not use your knife or fork to point at others because it is considered rude.
In China I know it is rude to point with your chopsticks. It is common practice to place food into a friends bowl and to put drink in their glass even after they have said they do not want any more. It is fine to drop the scraps onto the table. Though salt and pepper are not always on the table, vinegar(醋) and soy sauce(酱油) usually are. Talking while you’re eating is not considered impolite.
Manners are different all over the world and can even change in different parts of a country. Have you ever seen a foreigner do something you thought was impolite? Is there something you have done that they might view as impolite?
1.The underlined word “scraps” in Paragraph 2 means “____” in Chinese.
A.残羹 B.筷子 C.米饭 D.餐巾

American Table Manners
Table manners are different in different countries. What is polite in China may not be polite in the Unite States. These basic rules will help you enjoy western food with your American friends.
When you sit down at the table, always put the napkin on your lap first.
When eating something in a bowl, do not leave the spoon in the bowl. Put it on the plate under the bowl. When you have had your meal, place your knife and fork on the side of your plate.
During the meal, the hostess will offer you a second helping of food. Sometimes she will ask you to help yourself. When she offers you food, give her a direct answer. If you refuse the first time, she might not ask you again.
At the table, ask others to pass you dishes that are out of your reach. Good expressions to know are: “Please pass me the ...” or “Could you hand me the -please?”
