The American got there on time and enjoyed their conversation, the tea, and the attention. But as time passed, he got very, very hungry. Finally he politely whispered his host, “Excuse me, but are we going to eat dinner?”“Of course!” answered his host. “We usually serve the evening meal around 9:00, and when we have guests, we enjoy the long conversation before dinner.”At the dinner table everything was delicious, and the hungry American guest are quickly. He emptied his plate, and his host put more food on it. As soon as he cleaned his plate a second time, the host gave him more. After several plates of food, he could eat no more. He was going to burst! “Please, please, please－don’t give me any more food,” he begged them. “I finished the food on this plate, but I can’t eat another bite!”Even then, his host insisted. The guest accepted a little more and ate it with difficulty. Finally, the supper dishes were removed. There was more conversation－with more tea and coffee. At about midnight, the server brought a pitcher of ice water. The tired American knew it was OK to thank his hosts and leave.Passage 2An Irish woman was visiting tourist places in a Latin American city when she got a terrible headache. She knew what medicine she needed, so she went to a local pharmacy. The pharmacist was waiting on another customer when she came in. The Irish woman patiently waited her turn. While she was standing there, two other customers came in, then another, and then three more. Each time, the pharmacist turned his attention to the new people. He did not greet the Irish woman; he never said, “I’ll be with you in a minute.”After about 20 minutes, the woman couldn’t stand the pain in her head any longer. “Hey, I’ve been here for a long time,” she said loudly, very annoyed and insulted. “Why is everyone ignoring me? I need service, too!” she shouted rudely (impolitely).Passage 3A group of international students was attending college in Europe. They had a long time between semesters for travel, so they decided to hitchhike as far as they could in other countries. In many places, they were successful. They put their thumbs out or pointed them backwards and smiled; friendly drivers stopped. As soon as the first traveler got a “yes” answer from a driver, he mentioned with his hand or fingers for his friends to come－or he held both thumbs up in an “OK” sign or made a circle with the thumb and the next finger of one hand. The young tourists saved money, saw a lot of the countryside, and had interesting conversations and experiences.On the other hand, in Greece and Turkey, the visitors were not so lucky. Few drivers stopped to givethem rides; instead, most people ignored them. Others gave them mean looks from their cars; they seemed almost insulted that the visitors were begging for rides. A few drivers shouted terrible words at the travelers; two even got out of their truck and started a fight. The students thought the drivers were very rude. They felt confused, afraid, and unwelcome. After a few days the students took the bus back to the countries where they were studying.7.
