Table Manners
People who go to a formal western dinner party for the first time may be surprised by the table manners in western culture.（1） Knowing them will help you make a good impression. Having good table manners means knowing, for example, how to use knives and forks, when to drink a toast and how to behave at the table. Beside your napkin（餐巾）,you will find a small bread roll and three glasses-one for white wine, one for red wine, and one for water.（3） Three are two pairs of knives and forks on the table, forks on the left and knives on the right of the plate.（2） When you see two spoons（汤匙）,the big one is for the soup and the small one for the dessert. The knife and fork that are closest to your plate are a little bit bigger than the ones beside them. When you sit down at the table, you can take your napkin, unfold it and put it on your lap(膝盖).（4）
Dinner starts with a small dish, which is often called starter. Some people pray before they start eating, and other people may keep silent for a moment. After the starter you will get a bowl of soup—but only one bowl of soup and never ask for a second serving. The next dish is the main course(主菜).Many
westerners think the chicken breast with its tender white flesh is the best part of the bird. Some people can use their fingers when they are eating chicken or other birds, but never touch beef or other meat on bones.（6）It is polite to finish eating everything on your plate, so don’t take more food than you need. At table.（7） You should try to speak quietly and smile a lot, but do not laugh all the time.
Most westerners like soft drinks if they will drive home. Many of them drink white or red wine with the food. When drinking to someone’s health, you raise your glasses, but the glasses should not touch. The custom of toasting in some parts of China is to finish the drink at once, but westerners usually take only a sip. For drinking during a dinner, the best advice is never to drink too much.（8）
Table manners change over time. They follow the fashion of the day. Besides, table manners are only important at formal dinner parties. If you’re not sure what to do, you can always follow your hosts.（10） Although good manners always make you look good, you do not need to worry about all these rules while having dinner with your friends or family.

The Successful Clothing Shop

World War. Leone Benetton had a bicycle rental(租赁)business in the town of Treviso. He wanted his eldest son Luciano to study and become a doctor. After Leone died, the family was poor and Luciano decide to leave school and get a job. He found work in a clothing store but soon had his own ideas and started a family clothing company producing colorful woolen sweaters for
people only used to wearing dull colors. Shop selling only Benetton sweaters opened in many Italian cities and by 1974, there were stores in France, Germany and Belgium.
It was clear that the success of the Benetton business lay in the strength of the family at this stage. In 1975 Luciano married the 20-year-old Marina Salomon who worked in one of his shops.

international image and for this reason in the early 1980s, it decided to provide money for Formula 1 motor racing. This was followed by the advertising campaigns(广告攻势)for which the company became famous.
