Question

  Have you heard of the term " etiquette ” ？

And do you know that etiquette is not only a useful word 1        very useful to understand?

  Etiquette is not the same in every culture 2        in every situation. For example,standing very close to the person you are talking with is quite common in some Asian countries. However,if you do this in Europe,some 3       people might feel 4        Even inChina,we all know that etiquette is not the same in all situations. Perhaps we think that talking loudly in our own homes is fine,but there are other places where talking loudly is 5        For example,most people would agree that talking loudly in a library,a museum,or a movie theater is 6        Even if you are with your friends,it is better to keep you voice 7        in public places. In fact,we should also 8        not to cough or sneeze loudly in public.

  If we see someone 9        the rules of etiquette,we may politely give them some suggestions. Perhaps one of the most polite ways 10        ask someone,Would you mind doing this or Would you mind not doing that. For example,if someone cuts 11        you in a line,you could ask them,Sorry,would you mind 12        the line? If someone is smoking on the bus,you could ask,Excuse me,could you please 13        that cigarette? People don't usually like 14       ,so we have to be careful how we do this.

  Although rules of etiquette can often be different,some rules are the same almost everywhere in the world!For example,15       is almost never allowed. If you see someone you know doing this,you can ask them,Would you mind picking it up?

2. A 句意为：礼仪在不同的文化或者不同的情况下是不同的。因此这里应该用or。

3. C 上文提到的是亚洲人的礼仪方式，下面则是欧洲人的礼仪。因此，此处指的是欧洲人。句意为：如果你在欧洲也这样做,欧洲人会感到很不舒服。

4. B 上文提到近距离和人交谈在亚洲很正常。句意为:但是，如果你在欧洲这样做，欧洲人会感到很不舒服。

5. C 句意为：大声说话在家可能还好,但是在其他地方则是不被允许的。因此这里要用被动语态，be allowed表示"被允许"。
