We are taught how to hold a spoon and chopsticks and not to talk with our mouths full of food. 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 very friendly to each other. But in parts of Polynesia, it is bad manners to be seen eating at all. They politely turn their backs on each other when they are talking food. Some East Africans spit four times as a kind of blessing. They do it to show that they want a sick person to get well, or to pless a new born baby. In most other places, spitting means just something pletely 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 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.點評區(qū)1. introduce介紹 Polynesia波利西亞（中太平洋島群） blessing祝福 rude無禮2.

The New York police have 170 horses working in certain parts of the city. The horses are expensive to feed, but it is even more expensive to look after them. Because the horses must walk on the streets, they need special horseshoes. In fact , they need more than 8,000 of them each year. Every police horse in New York gets new shoes every month. Keeping these shoes in good repair is the job of six blacksmiths. There are only about thirtyfive of these blacksmiths in the whole United States. The cost of shoing a horse is between twenty dollars and thirtyfive dollars, and it takes a good blacksmith two or three hours to do the job. A blacksmith’s job is not an easy one. He must be able to shape a shoe from a piece of metal and then fit it to the horse’s foot. The blacksmith must bend over all the time when he is fitting the shoe and must hold the weight of the horse’s leg while he works. Clearly, a blacksmith must be very storng. But even more important, he must be able to deal with horsesfor before the blacksmith can begin his work, he has to get the horse to lift its leg. One of the blacksmiths in New York is James Corbin. He came to the country from Ireland in 1948. He not only makes horseshoes for the police but also works for a group of horse owners near the city. Corbin became interested in blacksmithing because his father did it, and,as the puts it, “It’s a good way to make a living.” 點評區(qū)1. blacksmith鐵匠 fit安裝 weight重量2.
