2b　Listen again. Fill in the blanks. 
Daisy: Hi, Maria. How was Paul’s party?

Maria: Oh, Daisy, it was terrible.
Daisy: It was?
Maria: Uh-huh.
Daisy: What happened?
Maria: Well, I was supposed to arrive at 7:00, but I arrived at 8:00.
Daisy: Oh, so you were late.
Maria: Yeah, but in my country, it’s different. When you’re invited for 7:00, you’re expected to come later! It’s considered strange to turn up on time.
Daisy: I see.
Maria: Then when I met Paul’s mom, I kissed her.

Daisy: Oh…you were supposed to shake hands instead.
Maria: That’s right. And I wore a fancy dress.
Daisy: What’s wrong with that?
Maria: Well, it turned out that it was an outdoor party, Daisy. Everyone else was in a T-shirt and jeans.
Daisy: I guess next time you should ask what you’re supposed to wear.
再听一遍录音。填空。
戴西：你好，玛丽亚。保罗的聚会怎么样？
玛丽亚：噢，戴西，很糟糕。
戴西：是吗？
玛丽亚：嗯。
戴西：发生什么事了？
玛丽亚：哦，我本应该7点钟到，但我8点才到。
戴西：噢，那你迟到了。
玛丽亚：是的，但在我的国家是不同的。当你被邀请7点到时，你应该晚点儿来！人们认为准时出现是很奇怪的。
戴西：我明白了。
玛丽亚：然后当我遇到保罗的妈妈时，我亲吻了她。
戴西：噢……你应该握手。

玛丽亚：对。我还穿了化装舞会服。
戴西：那怎么了？
玛丽亚：哦，原来这是一个户外聚会，戴西。其他所有人都穿着T恤衫和牛仔裤。
戴西：我认为下次你应该问一问你该穿什么。

                           Section B
1b　Steve is going to China to study. His friend Yang Ming is telling him about the table manners in China. Listen and number the pictures in the order you hear them. 
Yang Ming: You must be excited about leaving for China tomorrow, Steve!
Steve: Yeah, but I’m a little nervous, too.
Yang Ming: Why?
Steve: Well, for one thing, I don’t know how to use chopsticks very well…and I don’t know how to behave at the dinner table.
Yang Ming: Oh, I see. Well, one important thing is that you’re not supposed to start eating first if there are older people at the table.
Steve: That’s interesting. In the United States, it doesn’t matter.
Yang Ming: Yeah, I know. It’s also impolite to stick your chopsticks into your food. You shouldn’t point at anyone with your chopsticks, either.
Steve: Oh, OK.
Yang Ming: Oh, and there’s one more thing you need to know. You’re not supposed to talk when you’re eating dinner. Only parents are expected to talk at the dinner table. Children are not allowed to speak.
Steve: Wow! That’s…that’s unusual!
Yang Ming: Haha, I’m just kidding!
史蒂夫要去中国学习。他的朋友杨明正在告诉他中国的餐桌礼仪。听录音，并按照你听到的顺序给图画标上序号。
杨明：你一定很兴奋明天起程前往中国，史蒂夫！
史蒂夫：是的，但我也有点儿紧张。
杨明：为什么？
史蒂夫：哦，首先，我不知道如何很好地使用筷子……并且我不知道在餐桌上如何表现。
杨明：噢，我明白了。嗯，一件很重要的事情是如果有长辈在餐桌上，你不应该先吃。
史蒂夫：那很有趣。在美国，那没关系。
杨明：是的，我知道。把筷子插入你的食物中也是不礼貌的。你也不能用筷子指着任何人。
史蒂夫:哦，好的。
杨明：噢，还有一件事你必须知道，当你吃饭时，你不应该说话。只有父母在餐桌上可以说话。孩子们不允许说话。

史蒂夫:哇！那……那很不寻常！
杨明：哈哈，我只是在开玩笑！
1c　Listen again. Match these sentence parts.
