Thailand is known as the “Land of Smiles”. When you spend your holiday in Thailand, you'd better keep in mind these simple tips.
Personal image (个人形象) is very important in Thailand as a sign of respect for other people. Your clothes should be tidy, clean and free from holes. Shorts and sleeveless (无袖的) shirts are impolite in temples. Remember that you will need to take off your shoes when entering rooms. So don't wear shoes that are not easy to put on and take off. The rules are even stricter for foreign visitors, so even if you see a local in shorts, it's not OK for you.
It's not polite to touch a Thai on the head, including children. For Thais, the head is the most sacred part of the body. At the same time, don't touch people with your feet, or even point with them because they think feet are the lowest and dirtiest. When sitting on the ground, try to sit in a way that doesn't show others the bottoms of your feet.
Always keep in mind the rules of saving face. Keep your cool even when things go wrong; you'll be respected for doing so. For example, don't complain when your bus breaks down. Instead, smile and say “mai pen rai”.
(C) 31. [新考法·信息摘选] Which of the following are bad manners in Thailand?
① Wear clean and tidy clothes.

④ Take off your shoes before entering a temple.
⑤ Wear shorts or jeans with holes.
⑥ Avoid showing strong anger or shouting in public places.

(D) 32. What does the underlined word “sacred” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. 聪明的

A. What to wear in Thailand.
B. Dos and don'ts in Thailand.
C. The language spoken in Thailand.
D. Different meanings about feet.

答案： 31. C【点拨】信息摘选题。根据“It’s not polite to touch a Thai on the head, including children.”“At the same time, don’t touch people with your feet”及“Your clothes should be tidy, clean and free from holes.”可知，在泰国摸泰国人的头部、露出脚底和穿有破洞的短裤或牛仔裤都是不礼貌的行为。故选C。
32. D【点拨】词义猜测题。根据“It’s not polite...the most sacred part of the body.”可知，触摸泰国人，包括儿童的头部是不礼貌的。因为对泰国人来说，头部是身体最神圣的部位。故选D。
33. B【点拨】主旨大意题。阅读全文，主要从衣着规范、身体接触禁忌和情绪管理三个方面介绍了泰国文化中的行为规范和禁忌。故选B。
