二、阅读短文，回答问题
Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you want a great visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of the country you are visiting.
People in India think it impolite to use the left hand to pass food at table. The left hand is used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shake his head at another to show that he doesn't agree. However, in many parts of India shaking the head means “yes”. In Bulgaria, you shake your head to mean “yes” and nod to mean “no”.
At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula（阿拉伯半岛）, you will find that your glass is full again as soon as you drink up. If you think that you have had enough, you can put your hand over the top.
In Europe it's quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting and talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring trouble. Also, you should try not to touch the head of an adult（成人）—it's just not good in Thailand.
1. What should you find out about a country if you want to have a great visit?
2. How will you show others that you don't agree in Bulgaria?
3. What behaviour is common in Europe but could bring trouble in Thailand?
4. Do you think it necessary to learn about the customs of a foreign country before we visit it? Why or why not? Write 30 words or more.

You should find out as much as possible about its manners and customs.
2. How will you show others that you don't agree in Bulgaria?
I will nod to mean "no".

Crossing your legs when sitting and talking to someone even at an important meeting.

Yes, I think it's very necessary. Because learning the customs can help us avoid making mistakes and show respect. For example, in Thailand, touching an adult's head is not good, and in India, shaking the head may mean "yes". Knowing these makes our visit better. (开放试题, 言之有理, 言之有物即可)
