10、 for him, and he picked it up just in time to rush off to his plane. 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 speec

16、eft or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesnt it matter? What about table manner? 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.

23、first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B.C.We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade.

31、t their hotel late one evening. They expected that they would have to go to bed hungry, because in that small inn in New Jersey no meals were served after seven.

43、d upon with astonishment. Why are men and women【22】to suffer cold and hardship, and to【23】on high mountains?
