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 __1__
way they occupied the space around them—for example, when such a person
walks down a street he or she is constantly unaware of others. Such people never __2__
bump into other people.
However, a second person thought that this was more a question of
civilized behavior as good manners. Instead, this other person told us a story, __3__
it he said was quite well-known, about an American who had been invited __4__
to an Arab meal at one of the countries of the Middle East. The American __5__
hasn’t been told very much about the kind of food he might expect. If he had __6__
known about American food, he might have behaved better. __7__
Immediately before him was a very flat piece of bread that looked, to
him, very much as a napkin. Picking it up, he put it into his collar, so that __8__
it falls across his shirt. His Arab host, who had been watching, __9__
said of nothing, but immediately copied the action of his guest. __10__
And that, said this second person, was a fine example of good manners.

参考答案及解析:
1.将on改为by。
“by the way”作“根据……方式”讲。

2. 将unaware改为aware
根据下文中的“Such a person never bump into other people”判断,这种人不会“目中无人”。

3. 将as改为than
“more adj/of n than”是固定搭配。

4. 将it改为which
which在此引导一个非限制性定语从句,which在从句中作主语,需要注意的是,在从句中he said是插入语。

5. 将at改为in
名词the country前要用介词in。

6. 将hasn’t改为hadn’t
根据上下文我们可以看出这里需要使用过去完成时。

7. 将American改为Arab。根据上文,我们可以看出,这里讲述的是赴“阿拉伯”传统宴会的“美国人”的故事,而不是赴“美国”传统宴会的
“美国人”的故事。

8. 将as 改为like
介词as意思为“作为”,like意思为“像”。

9. 将falls改为fell
这里要使用一般过去时。

10. 将第一个of删掉。
say作为及物动词,后面可直接跟名词作宾语。
