Answers To All Your travel
Jun Korea(韩国) Posted 5 days ago	Question: First trip to the USA For my new job I will travel to the United States next month and meet my American boss. This will be my first trip there. I’m worried about correct business behavior and manners. My boss invited me to his home for dinner. Do you have any advice?
Sue Miami Posted 3 days ago	Re: First trip to the USA It’s a good idea to bring a small gift or something from your country. Don’t be surprised if your boss opens the gift right away. In the USA people often open a gift when they receive it. In Korea that is not polite but it’s common in the USA.
Sam Los Angeles Posted 2 days ago	Re: First trip to the USA Americans use their hands to eat some kinds of food such as pizza and fried chicken. Watch your American hosts and do what they do.
Kathryn New York Posted 12 hours ago	Re: First trip to the USA In Korea and Japan it’s the custom to remove your shoes before entering a house. In the United States you usually don’t take your shoes off. Once I was travelling in Japan and entered a house with my shoes on by mistake. Oops!
Lee Korea Posted 2 hours ago	Re: First trip to the USA Many Americans are very informal（非正式的）at home. One time I went to an American business partner’s home for dinner I was surprised that everyone stood and talked in the kitchen while the husband and wife were cooking dinner. Besides unlike in Korea everyone took part in the dinner table conversation even the man’s wife and children.
Andrew Washington Posted 1 hour ago	Re: First trip to the USA I agree with Lee. You probably won’t speak about business during dinner so my advice is to know some   topics of conversation. For example you can talk about travel food music or sports. But you’d better not question about age.

分 析：
这篇短文中Jun在一个网站的论坛上发帖想要了解美国的商务礼仪，很多人对他的问题进行了回复。从这些回复中我们可以知道，不同的国家有不同的风俗习惯，不同的礼仪。
【小题1】细节理解题。根据表格中的第一项可知，Jun在这个网站的论坛上提了一个问题，是关于他第一次来到美国旅行的。This will be my first trip there. I’m worried about correct business behavior and manners这是他第一次来到美国，他很担心，因为他不知道那里商务上的行为举止和礼仪。故应该选D。
【小题2】细节理解题。根据表格中的第四个人中In Korea and Japan it’s the custom to remove your shoes before entering a house.可知，Kathryn在网站上发帖说，在韩国和日本，在进入房间之前脱鞋是礼仪。remove在这里的意思是脱掉，脱下。故选C。
【小题3】细节理解题。根据表格中最后一个人中Andrew回复说For example you can talk about travel food music or sports. But you’d better not question about age.，在美国，你可以谈论旅行、食物、音乐或运动，但是最好不要询问年龄。因此在美国询问别人的年龄是不礼貌的，故选D。
【小题4】细节理解题。根据表格中最后一个人Andrew的回复中You probably won’t speak about business during dinner 可知，在美国老板的家里吃饭的时候，你不能说一些关于生意的事情。故选D。
【小题5】主旨大意题。这篇短文中Jun在一个网站的论坛上提了一个问题，他要去美国见他的老板，但是他不知道美国的商务礼仪。通过这个表格中的回复可知，不同的国家有不同的风俗习惯，故选A。
