Every culture has its own set of unwritten rules, or 16.1, that guide behavior in social situations. There are many 16.2 examples of these norms from different parts of the world.

First, consider dining etiquette in Japan. In many Western countries, making loud noises while eating is considered rude. However, in Japan, when eating noodle dishes like ramen, it is perfectly 16.3 and even encouraged to slurp the noodles loudly. This action signifies that the meal is being thoroughly enjoyed and is seen as a compliment to the chef.

Next, a common norm in many Middle Eastern and South Asian countries relates to personal 16.4. In these cultures, the left hand is traditionally considered unclean, as it is reserved for personal hygiene. Therefore, the right hand should always be used to eat, to pass objects to someone, or to shake hands. Using the left hand for these actions can be seen as a sign of disrespect.

Another interesting example comes from China and relates to finishing food. In many cultures, cleaning one's plate is a way to show appreciation for the meal. Conversely, in China, it is often polite to leave a small amount of food on the plate at the end of a meal. This shows the host that they have provided more than enough food and that the guest is full and 16.5.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

The Internet: Changing Everything 

Let’s do a little experiment: Take five minutes, and find some information about Angola. How did you get your information? How much information were you able to get? Chances are, you probably just went online and typed the word “Angola” and you were probably able to find out all sorts of things. This experiment shows us how useful the Internet is.

Over the last 20 years, the Internet has changed the way that we live, work, and study. The biggest change has been the way that we access information. Twenty years ago, you would have needed an encyclopedia to learn about Angola. If you had wanted information, you would have had to get out of your chair, open your encyclopedia, and look up the word “Angola”. Today, all you need is about five seconds and you’ll have the exact same information. This technology makes work a lot faster and more efficient.

It has also made information storage a lot easier and neater. Twenty years ago, offices had papers and files all over the place. If you wanted to find a file, you had to open a desk drawer and find the right piece of paper to get it. Today, many of us keep our files in cloud storage. Cloud storage is a technology that lets people store files on the Internet. All you have to do is to sign into the site, and you can find all of your files in seconds.

Another big change is communication. These days, more and more people are working from home. People have “home offices”. They just do their work at their house and e-mail it to their company. It makes life a lot easier. Some people don’t like these changes. They say that life is too convenient these days, and it is making people lazy. However, most people think that even if this technology makes us a little easier, it still has more benefits than disadvantages. In the end, it doesn’t matter what we think. The Internet has changed all of our lives forever.
