What things are acceptable when you are at the dinner table and what things are serious breaches（违反）of manners?
I will tell you some of the most important American table manners. When you sit down to eat, you should place the napkin（餐巾）across your lap. You should never talk with your mouth full and should chew（咀嚼）with your mouth closed. If someone asks you a question while you are chewing, you should finish chewing and then swallow the food before answering. You should never drop scraps（残羹剩饭）on the table. Instead, place them on a spare plate. Besides, only put food on someone else's plate if they ask for it. And if they say they don't want anything else to eat or drink, then you shouldn't give them anything else. Never use your knife or fork to point at others because it is rude.
In China, I know it's rude to point with your chopsticks. It's common practice to place food into friends' bowls and to put drinks in their glasses even after they have said they don't want any more. It's fine to drop the scraps onto the table. Besides, talking while you're eating is okay.
Manners are different all over the world and can even be different in different parts of a country. Have you ever seen foreigners do anything impolite? Is there anything you have done that they might see as impolite?

B. Clean the tableware(餐具).

The Starlink system, is a main product of an American company called SpaceX. The company plans to send about 42,000 satellites（卫星）to offer much
faster and less expensive satellite internet around the world.
In order to send information faster, SpaceX has put built-in lasers（激光）on its newest Starlink satellites. With the higher speed of light in vacuum（真空）and the shorter path than undersea fiber（纤维）, the laser links in orbit（轨道）help send satellite internet faster. And by getting closer to our planet and networking, Starlink satellites can quickly send a large amount of information to any point on Earth, even across oceans.
However, some astronomers are afraid that bright satellites in Earth's orbit will make them difficult to "watch" the universe. And some scientists are worried that there will probably be more space junk when the satellites are out of use or when the satellites hit others. The junk of course will be harmful to spaceships or space stations. And when some of the falling junk burn up in Earth's atmosphere（大气层）, it will cause uncertain changes in Earth's climate（气候）.
Although the company promised that the satellites seemed impossible to hit others, the risk is still there. In 2021, China's space station had to change its orbit to avoid the possible danger when Starlink satellites came close to it.
So does the Starlink system really have more advantages to humans in the long term? Or will the risks outweigh its advantages? We still do not know the answers.
(
A. Because it has used built-in lasers.
B. Because it is close to space stations.
C. Because it has used undersea fiber.
D. Because it is far from Earth's orbit.

A. It's about how the Starlink system works.
B. It's about what the Starlink system looks like.
C. It's about why the Starlink system is impossible.
D. It's about what risks Starlink system may cause.

A. The Indian company has sent the Starlink satellites.
B. The Starlink system needs 420,000 satellites in total.
C. The return of useless satellites may cause more space junk.
D. The Starlink satellite changed its orbit to avoid danger in 2021.
(
A. To encourage people to use the Starlink in their daily life.
B. To introduce the bright future of a new invention of SpaceX.
C. To show some worries about the development of the Starlink system.
