江苏省2012年普通高校专转本选拔考试 Part I Reading Comprehension (共20小题，每小题2分，共40分) Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage. Different countries and different races have different manners. Before entering a house in some Asian countries, it is good manners to take off your shoes. In European countries, even though shoes sometimes become very muddy, this is not done. A guest in a Chinese house sometimes does not finish a drink. He leaves a little, to show that he has had enough. In a Malay house, too, a guest always leaves a little food.

If you remember this, you will not go very far wrong. Here are some examples of the things that a well-mannered person does or does not do. He never laughs at people when they are in trouble. He is always kind either to people or to animals. When people are waiting for a bus, or in a post office, he lines up to wait his turn. In the bus, he gives his seat to an older person or a lady who is standing. If he accidentally bumps into （碰撞）someone, or gets in their way, he says “Excuse me” or “I’m sorry”.

He does not talk too much about himself. When eating, he does not speak with his mouth full of food. 1. According to the passage, a knowledge of the customs of other races ______.
