For nearly 250 years, Debrett’s has advised the British public on suitable social manners. Now, it has listed modern guide to good manners, answering the questions that most trouble the British public in 2014.

★Using mobile phone in public

More questions are asked about mobile use than any other case. According to Debrett’s, it is always rude to pay more attention to a phone than the people around you, and they should always be put away when you’re paying for something in a shop. They should be turned off in theatres, cinemas or any space where silence is required.

★Smoking e-cigarettes at work

As electronic cigarettes become more popular, questions about whether they are acceptable in the workplace are asked more often. According to Debrett’s, they should never be used in a work environment. Smoking e-cigarettes at work shows that you’re not focused on your work and may also have a bad influence on your workmates.

★Giving up your seat on public transport

In a recent university experiment only 20 per cent of London tube passengers are willing to give up their seat to people in need. According to Debrett’s, passengers should always offer to give up their seat to any person that is pregnant, elderly, or clearly in need. It is important to remember, however, that it is just as impolite to rudely refuse the offer of a seat as it is to not offer a seat.

★Eating before everyone is served

The final question is one that we’ve all asked ourselves: is it rude to start eating at the table before everyone else has been served? According to Debrett’s, the simple answer is yes, unless the host or hostess permits dinners to start.

1.How many questions about good manners are listed in the passage?

A. 250.B. 2014.C. 4. D. 20.

2.British people are most interested in the guide to ______.

A. using mobile phone in public

B. smoking e-cigarettes at work

C. giving up seats on public transport

D. eating before everyone is served

3. From the passage, we know ______.

A. people should turn off mobile phones when shopping.

B. more people smoke e-cigarettes at work than before.

C. it’s always polite to refuse when others offer a seat to you.

D. we can start eating as soon as all of us sit at the table.

During my elementary (基礎的) school years, I used to compare my mom with my best friend Tiffany’s mom.

Tiffany’s mom always gave her lots of money to buy the most fashionable clothes and favorite food. Her mom allowed her to do anything she liked. I really admired Tiffany. My mom didn’t give me much pocket money and she always told me that I should behave myself. I was angry with her.

Whenever I didn’t get what I wanted, I would complain to my mom, Tiffany’s mom would give her that! I wish she were my mom. Every time, my mom would calmly say “Poor Tiffany”. I couldn’t understand her. “She shouldn’t be feeling sorry for Tiffany!” I thought. “She should be feeling sorry for me.”

One day, I couldn’t help saying to Mom, “Poor Tiffany? Lucky Tiffany! She gets everything she wants! Why do you feel sorry for her?”I burst into tears.

My mom sat down next to me and said softly. “Yes, I do feel sorry for her. I have been teaching you a lesson that she will never be taught.”

I looked up at her. “What are you talking about?”

Mom said with care, “One day she will really want something. Maybe she’ll find out that she can’t have it. Her mother won’t always be around to give her money, and what’s more, money can’t buy everything.”

She continued, “Ihave taught you useful lessons by not giving you everything you want. You’ll know how to be yourself and save money, but she won’t. You’ll understand that you need to work hard to get the things that you want but she won’t. When Tiffany is a grown woman, she’ll wake up one day and she will be wishing that she had a mom like the one you’ve got. Life lessons are more important than modern clothes and delicious food.”

It took some time, but I finally understood my mom’s words. Now I am a happy and successful woman.

Jack Baines is a self-made millionaire, but his beginnings were very lowly. He was the youngest of eight children. His father had a j in the cotton mills(廠) of Blackburn, Lancashire in the 1920s, but he was often unable to work because of poor health. The family couldn’t afford to pay the rent, and the children often went h . After leaving school at the age of 14, Jack was wondering what to do when Mr. Walker, his old teacher, offered to l him $100 to start his own business.

It was just after the war. Raw materials were not plentiful, and Jack (without taking his parents’ advice) saw a future in scrap metal. He bought bits of metal and stored them in an old garage. When he had built up a sizeable amount, he sold it and earned plenty of m .

Jack enjoyed working hard. After one year he s in repaying the $100 and he also gave Mr. Walker 100% interest to thank him for his generosity.
