Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you want a great visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of the country you are visiting.
People in India think it impolite to use the left hand to pass food at table. The left hand is used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shake his head at another to show that he doesn't agree. However, in many parts of India shaking the head means "yes". In Bulgaria, you shake your head to mean "yes" and nod to mean "no".
At a meal in countries on the Arabian Peninsula (阿拉伯半岛), you will find that your glass is full again as soon as you drink up. If you think that you have had enough, you can put your hand over the top.
In Europe it's quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting and talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring trouble. Also, you should try not to touch the head of an adult—it's just not good in Thailand.
1. How will you show others that you don't agree in Bulgaria after reading the passage?
2. What does the writer want to tell us through the passage?
3. Do you think it necessary to learn about the customs of a foreign country before visiting it? Why or why not?

学习一个国家的语言是不够的。如果你想要有一次很棒的旅行,要尽可能多地了解你要去旅行的那个国家的礼仪和习俗。
在印度,人们认为在餐桌上用左手递食物是不礼貌的。左手是用来清洁自己的。同样在印度,你可能会看到一个人对另一个人摇头来表示他不同意。然而,在印度的许多地方,摇头意味着“是”。在保加利亚,你摇头表示“是”,点头表示“不”。
在阿拉伯半岛的国家用餐时,你会发现你一喝完,你的杯子就又满了。如果你觉得你已经喝够了,你可以把手放在杯口上。
在欧洲,当你坐着和别人交谈时,即使是在重要的会议上,跷二郎腿也是很常见的。然而,在泰国这样做可能会带来麻烦。此外,你应该尽量不要触摸成年人的头——在泰国这样做是不合适的。
1. 读完这篇文章后,在保加利亚你会如何向别人表示你不同意?
我会点头表示“不”。
2. 作者通过这篇文章想要告诉我们什么?
作者想要告诉我们不同国家的习俗和礼仪。
3. 你认为在访问一个外国之前了解它的习俗有必要吗?为什么有必要或为什么没有必要?
