Eating Etiquette
What should you do or not do when you are eating in Britain?
The British generally pay a lot of attention to good table manners(举止).Even young children are expected to eat properly with knives and forks.
We eat most of Our food with cutlery.The foods we don’t eat with a knife,fork or spoon in-clude sandwiches and fruit.
Things you should do:
If you cannot eat a certain type of food or have some special needs,tell your host several days before the dinner party.
If you are a guest,it is polite to wait until your host starts eating or invites you to do so.It shows consideration.
Always chew(咀嚼)and swallow(吞咽)all the food in your mouth before taking more or
taking a drink.
Always say thank you when served something.It shows your gratefulness.
You may eat things like chicken with your fingers if you are having a picnic with friends or in very informal settings.Otherwise always use a knife and fork.
When eating bread rolls,break off a piece before buttering.Eating it whole shows poor taste.
On formal dining occasions(场合)it is good manners to take some butter from the butter dish with your bread knife and put it on your side plate.Then butter pieces of the roll using this butter.
This prevents the butter in the dish getting full of small pieces of bread as it is passed around.
In a restaurant,it is normal to pay for your food by putting your money on the plate the bill comes on.

就餐礼仪
在英国就餐时什么该做什么不该做?
英国人一般比较注重餐桌礼仪,甚至是小孩子也被要求正确使用刀叉。
我们吃的绝大部分食物需要用餐具,但是三明治和水果我们不能使用刀叉或勺子。
你应该做的:
如果你不能吃某种食物或有一些特别需求,一定要在宴会开始的前几天告知主人。
假如你去做客,让主人先吃或等主人邀请后再吃,这是礼貌。这也是对主人的一种尊重。
在拿取更多的食物或喝饮料之前要咀嚼和吞咽掉你嘴里的所有食物。
在别人为你服务时,总是说谢谢,表明你的感激之情。
如果你正和一群朋友野餐或在一个不是很正式的环境下用餐,你可以用手拿着吃一些东西,像鸡肉。如果是正式场合,一定要用刀叉。
在正式场合吃面包卷时,一定要先撕开面包后再涂黄油。把面包卷整个吃下会让人觉得你的品位很差。
在正式场合。正确的礼仪是用你的面包刀从黄油碟子里取黄油,然后放在你盘子的一边,然后用撕下的面包卷来蘸黄油。这样避免了黄油盘子里到处都是面包屑。
在餐馆内,吃完饭结账时,把钱放在盘子里是正常的。
【精析】推理题。题干意为“谁将会发现这篇文章特别有用?”。由文章来看,文章是给刚到英国,还不是很了解英国的人看的。故C正确。
