根据短文内容对问题进行简单回答。 Different countries and different people have different manners （礼貌）. We must find out their customs （习俗）so that they will not think us ill－mannered （不礼貌）. Here are examples of the things that a person with good education does or does not do . If you visit a Chinese family , you should knock at the door first . When the door opens , you will not move before the host （男主人）says “Come in , pleasE. ”After you enter the room , you would not sit down until the host asks you to take a seat . When a cup of tea is put on a tea table before you or sent to your hand , you will say “Thank you ”and receive it with two hands , not one hand , or they will think you are ill－mannered . Before entering a house in Japan , it is a good manner to take off your shoes . In European countries , even though shoes sometimes become very dirty , this is not done . In a Malay house , a visitor never finishes the food on the table . He leaves a little to show that he has had enough . In England , a visitor always finishes a drink or the food to show that he has enjoyed it . This will make the host pleasant. 1. Does the writer think it is necessary to know different customs in different countries ? 2. When can you enter the room if you visit a friend in China ? 3. In which country do you have to take off your shoes when you enter your host’s house ? 4. Why does a visitor always finish the food at dinner in his friend’s home in England ?
