population find it more difficult to respect other people's personal space. Q: What does the man say? Question 3
M:Lisa, I'm invited to a Western dinner tonight. Can you give me some suggestions on etiquette?
W:One thing I want to remind you is that if you excuse yourself for a while during the dinner, you should put your knife and fork in a 90 degree angle on the plate rather than put them parallel right on the plate which suggests finishing eating.
Q:What should the man do if he wants to excuse himself for a while during the dinner?

Most social scientists believe that the sports that are organized by a society generally reflect the basic values of that society and attempt to strengthen them in the minds and emotions of its people. Therefore, organized sports have a more serious social purpose than spontaneous, unorganized play by individuals. This is certainly true in the United States, where the three most popular organized sports are football, basketball, and baseball. Nowhere are the ways and words of democracy better illustrated than in sports. Organized sports are seen by Americans as an inspiring example of equality of opportunity in action. In sports, people of different races and economic backgrounds get an equal chance to excel. For this reason, notes sociologist Harry Edwards, Americans view organized sports as "a laboratory in which young men, regardless of social class, can learn the advantages and rewards of a competitive system".
Although Edwards specifically mentions young men, young women also compete
in organized sports without regard to their race or economic background. Women's sports are growing in popularity in the United States, and they now have more funding and support at the college level than in the past. The 1996 Olympics provided evidence of the increased interest in women's organized sports. American women won gold medals for several team sports—softball, basketball, soccer, and gymnastics. The idea of competition is at the very heart of organized sports in the United States. Many Americans believe that learning how to win in sports helps develop the habits necessary to compete successfully in later life. This training, in turn, strengthens American society as a whole. "It is commonly held," says one sports writer, "that the competitive ethic taught in sports must be learned and cultivated in youth for the future success of American business and military efforts."
Ever wonder what opponents of globalization used to protest about before there were Coca-Cola and McDonald's? Well, there was that first promoter of globalization, the British Empire, over which it was said the sun never set. While the world map is no longer dotted by British territorial possessions, the voices of the Empire are heard in many other areas.
The Brits are good sportsmen. They feel it's important to concede defeat graciously. That is why contemporary discussions of British culture in the United Kingdom often turn to acknowledgment of how the Americans dominate the world.
An article in the 2002 Christmas issue of The Economist, for example, admitted that the English language that is now sweeping the globe is closer to the language spoken in Brooklyn, New York, than at Oxford or Cambridge. Indeed, U.S. movies are everywhere and kids in even the remotest parts of the world are familiar with such essential words of the English language as Big Mac and the Chicago Bulls.
But it would be a mistake to claim that the British Empire which originally spread English all over the world is dead and buried.
Far from it. Just look at world literature. It's not surprising that the Brits invented some of the most popular literary genres of the past 150 years. One such example is the detective novel which sprung from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his famous character Sherlock Holmes.
Another example of British literary excellence is with children's
literature, where Alice in Wonderland became truly a global phenomenon. Even
after the British Empire vanished, today's British writers are making new contributions. The two global blockbuster movies of recent years Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings show the influence that even the post-World War II generation of British writers still has on children around the world.。
