文章大意:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章介绍了现代社会很多青少年与人相处的时候缺乏基本的礼仪。作者通过自己教孩子餐桌礼仪的经历,说明了餐桌礼仪的重要性。

【推荐3】Most teens I meet these days lack basic social courtesy (礼仪) when dealing with people.

My own son, who basically grew up with his grandmother, the original _______ guru (专家), has perfect table manners. This is partly because he was _______to manners at a very young age. However, when we eat at home, he would not   _______manners. So I asked him why. He said, “I behave the way I am supposed to _______ when I’m out, but when I am at home I want to be   _______.”

That’s when I realized that most parents, myself included, do_______ their children the proper way to behave outside the home, but they are also _______to believe that at home, anything goes.

My _________to him was “good behavior has nothing to do with where you are or whom you are with”.

Then he answered, “But I behave _______when I’m with others so that they think better of me.” And that is when I realized that I was doing things all   ________. I explained to him that it had nothing to do with what people think. This ________him even more.

So I went on to explain that behavior, whether in your everyday   ________with people or at the dining table at home, is an   ________of who you are. Well, at the age of 13, he got it.

So basically, what I am saying is that teaching your children   ________comes with the underlying lesson that it is not about   ________to do or not to do, but rather, who they are. This way it is not   ________; it comes from within.

Teach your teens or children the ________courtesy of greeting their friends’ parents and ________themselves when they go to someone’s home. Teach teenage boys to open the door of a car, or any door   ________ anyone who matters, for any girl, whether they are their girlfriends or not. This includes holding elevator doors or letting women step out of the elevator first.

Just   ________that teenage boys who practice good manners’ and courtesy grow up to become men who respect people in general.
