Answer 1

【答案】

【1】E

【2】G

【3】C

【4】F

【5】A

【解析】

【1】后文主要介绍了我小时候被教给的一些礼仪知识。故本段第一句应为From the time we were babies we have been taught manners，句意：从小时候我们就被教给礼仪知识。故选E。

【2】后句But in parts of Polynesia（波利尼西亚）it is bad manners to be seen eating beside each other提到在各地作为礼节之一的聚餐，在波利尼西亚却被认为是不礼貌的。故选G。

【3】上文提到在一些东非国家吐痰是一种祝福，但是下文却提到吐痰是一种不健康的习惯， 故可知C项正确。句意：在大部分地方，吐痰意味着完全不同的含义。

【4】根据前句可知你要安静地坐在朋友身边，故下句应该是等待朋友完成手中的工作，然后她就会和你交谈。故选F。

【5】当他被邀请到每个帐篷，并被要求进餐时，很显然拒绝是不礼貌的。故选A。
