When you start talking about good and bad manners
you immediately start meeting difficulties. Many
people just cannot agree what they mean. We asked a
lady, who replied that she thought you could tell a
well-mannered person on the way they occupied the S1._______
space around them—for example, when such a person
walks down a street he or she is constantly unaware of S2._______
others. Such people never bump into other people.
However, a second person thought that this was
more a question of civilized behavior as good manners. S3._______
Instead, this other person told us a story, it he S4._______
said was quite well known, about an American who
had been invited to an Arab meal at one of the countries S5._______
of the Middle East. The American hasn't been S6._______
told very much about the kind of food he might
expect. If he had known about American food, he S7._______
might have behaved better.
Immediately before him was a very flat piece of
bread that looked, to him, very much as a napkin (餐巾). S8._______
Picking it up, he put it into his collar, so that it
falls across his shirt. His Arab host, who had been S9._______
watching, said of nothing, but immediately copied S10._______
the action of his guest.
And that, said this second person, was a fine
example of good manners.

More people die of tuberculosis (结核病) than of any
other disease caused by a single agent. This has probably
been the case in quite a while. During the early stages of S1. ________
the industrial revolution, perhaps one in every seventh S2. ________
deaths in Europe's crowded cities were caused by the S3. ________
disease. From now on, though, western eyes, missing the S4. ________
global picture, saw the trouble going into decline. With
occasional breaks for war, the rates of death and
infection in the Europe and America dropped steadily S5. ________
through the 19th and 20th centuries. In the 1950s, the
introduction of antibiotics (抗菌素) strengthened the
trend in rich countries, and the antibiotics were allowed
to be imported to poor countries. Medical researchers S6. ________
declared victory and withdrew.
They are wrong. In the mid-1980s the frequency of S7. ________
infections and deaths started to pick up again around the
world. Where tuberculosis vanished, it came back; in S8. ________
many places where it had never been away, it grew better. S9. ________
The World Health Organization estimates that 1.7
billion people (a third of the earth's population) suffer
from tuberculosis. Even when the infection rate was
falling, population growth kept the number of clinical
cases more or less constantly at 8 million a year. Around S10. ________
3 million of those people died, nearly all of them in poor
countries.
