   When you start talking about good and bad manners you
immediately start meeting difficulties. Many people just cannot
agree what they mean. We asked a lady, who replied that she
thought you could tell a well-mannered person on the way they 71._______
occupied the space around them—for example, when such a
person walks down a street he or she is constantly unaware of 72._______
others. Such people never bump into other people.
   However, a second person thought that this was more a
question of civilized behavior as good manners. Instead, this 73._______
other person told us a story, it he said was quite well known, 74._______
about an American who had been invited to an Arab meal at 75._______
one of the countries of the Middle East. The American hasn't 76._______
been told very much about the kind of food he might expect.If
he had known about American food, he might have behaved 77._______
better.
   Immediately before him was a very flat piece of bread that
looked, to him, very much as a napkin (餐巾） Picking it 78._______
up, he put it into his collar, so that it falls across his shirt. 79._______
His Arab host, who had been watching, said of nothing, but 80._______
immediately copied the action of his guest.
   And that, said this second person, was a fine example of
good manners.
