9、businessman was asked to give a twenty-minute speech in another city.

She typed one out for him, and he picked it up just in time to rush off to his p
10、lane. But when he gave his speech, it ran on for an hour, and the audience (听众) was getting very tired of it by the end.When the businessman got back to his office, he said to his secretary, “I told you it should be a twenty-minute speech !“Thats what I gave you ,“ she answered, “the original and tw

Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behaviour for a man to
16、 smoke on the street. No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.Customs are also different from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesnt it matter? What about table ma
17、nner? Should you use both hands when you are eating?The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs.

18、n a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans. Promptness is important both in England and in America.
