五、阅读理解。
If you are an American and going to visit Britain, here are some manners you should pay attention to before going there.
It would be easier to cut food when the knife is in your dominant（支配的）hand. After the food is cut, Americans usually put down the knife and eat with their dominant hand. Brits, on the other hand, hold the fork in their non - dominant hand and take a bite.
Americans usually cut up several pieces of meat before actually eating. Then, once the fork is in the dominant hand, it's easy to take a few bites without changing back. But it's bad manners to cut the food into many small pieces in Britain.
Eating on the go is common in the United States, where people eat their food quickly. However, in Britain, people don't just eat. They sit down to have a relaxing meal, chatting with their beloved ones and fully digesting（消化）their food. They also think it is the perfect time to teach their kids good manners.
You'll probably never enter a British person's home without the host asking if you want a cup of tea or water. Offering a drink is good manners in the United States, too, but the host often forgets it.
Brits are generous（慷慨的）with how many times they say “sorry”, “please”, and “thank you”. Don't get lazy with those basic manners. For example, when ordering at a restaurant, don't just say “I'll take a hamburger.”, but show the server some respect and ask,“May I please have a hamburger?”
