*** Read the following passage , then answer the questions below - :
Our parents try to train us in " good manners " from the time we are
very young . So we are taught not to speak with our mouths full , not to reach
across the table in front of someone else , and so on . But the essence of good
consideration for other people . If we avoid visiting or telephoning people at
unsuitable times , it is because we don't want to disturb them . If we help an
old lady in the bus it is because we see she needs help and we are willing and
able to give it . Good manners can't always be taught people who had very
little advice from their parents may be better – mannered than those who had
a great deal . Consideration for others comes naturally to some people and is
the mark of civilization as the old English proverb says : " Manners make a
man . "
