Text 5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又。

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。

72.C【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。

73.C【精析】细节题。题干意为“下面哪项被认为在英国是恰当的餐桌礼仪?”。由第四段中“If you are a guest，it is polite to wait untilyour host starts eating of invites you to do so.”可知，假如你去做客，让主人先吃或等主人邀请后再吃，这是礼貌。故C正确。

74.B【精析】细节题。题干意为“在正式场合中吃面包卷，你被建议怎么吃才礼貌?”。从文章第八段第一句“When eating bread rolls，break off a piece before buttering.”可知，吃面包卷时，应该撕下一片然后蘸黄油吃。故B正确。

75.B【精析】语义题。题干意为“文中加下划线的单词cutlery指什么?”。从文章第二段“We eat most of our food with oods we don’t eat with a knife，fork or spoon including sandwichesand fruit.”可知，前后两句是对比关系，所以得出结论cutlery是餐具的意思，故B正确。
