Read the follwing passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
The rules of etiquette in American restaurants depend upon a number of factors the physical location of the restaurant, eg., rural or urban; the type of restaurant, eg., informal or formal; and certain standards that are more universal. In other words, some standards of etiquette vary significantly while other standards apply almost anywhere. Learning the proper etiquette in a particular type of restaurant in a particular area may sometimes require instruction, but more commonly it simply requires sensitivity and experience. For example, while it is acceptable to read a magazine in a coffee shop, it is inappropriate to do the same in a more luxurious setting. And, if you are eating in a very rustic setting it may be fine to tuck your napkin into your shirt, but if you are in a sophisticated urban restaurant this behavior would demonstrate a lack of manners. It is safe to say, however, that in virtually every restaurant it is unacceptable to indiscriminately throw your food on the floor. The conclusion we can most likely draw from the above is that while the types and locations of restaurant determine etiquette appropriate to them, some rules apply to all restaurant
According to the passage, which of the following is a universal rule of etiquette?
A. Tucking a napkin in your shirt
B. Not throwing food on the floor
C. Reading a magazine while eating
D. Eating in rustic settings
Giải bởi Vietjack
Đáp án B
Key words: universal rule, etiquette.
Clue:
1. “It is safe to say, however, that in virtually every restaurant it is unacceptable to indiscriminately throw your food on the floor”: Có thể nói rằng hầu như mọi nhà hàng đều không chấp nhận việc vứt đồ ăn lên sàn nhà một cách bừa bãi.
2. “And, if you arc eating in a very rustic setting it may be fine to tuck your napkin into your shirt, but if you are in a sophisticated urban restaurant this behavior would demonstrate a lack of manners”: Nếu như bạn đang ăn ở một chỗ ngoại tỉnh, bạn có thể cài khăn ăn vào áo. Thế nhưng nếu như bạn đang ở trong một nhà hàng sang trọng trong thành phố, hành động đó biến bạn thành một người không biết cư xử.
3. “while it is acceptable to read a magazine in a coffee shop, it is inappropriate to do the same in a more luxurious setting": trong khi việc đọc tạp chí trong quán café được chấp nhận, hành động đó lại không phù hợp trong một môi trường sang trọng.
Phân tích đáp án: Yêu cầu của đề bài là tìm ra nghi thức (etiquette) ăn trong nhà hàng được chấp nhận rộng rãi.
tucking a napkin in your shirt: cài khăn ăn vào áo
not throwing food on the floor: không ném thức ăn ra sàn nhà
reading a magazine while eating: đọc tạp chí trong khi ăn
eating in rustic settings: ăn ở một nơi ngoại thành
Ta loại được đáp án D vì đây không phải là nghi lễ khi ăn. Đáp án A và C lần lượt không phải là những hành động được chấp nhận rộng rãi vì vẫn có những trường hợp ngoại lệ, không phù hợp (tham khảo clue 2, 3). Đáp án chính xác là B. not throwing food on the floor: không ném thức ăn ra sàn nhà vì hầu như toàn bộ (virtually every) nhà hàng chấp nhận điều này.
