Đọc hiểu -TOEFL- Bài 26

Đọc đoạn văn sau và trả lời các câu hỏi:
   The rules of etiquette in American restaurants depend upon a number
of factors the physical location of the restaurant, e.g., rural or
urban; the type of restaurant, e.g., informal or formal; and certain
standards that are more universal. In other words, some standards
5 of etiquette vary significantly while other standards apply almost
anywhere. Learning the proper etiquette in a particular type of restaurant
in a particular area may sometimes require instruction, but more
commonly it simply requires sensitivity and experience. For example,
while it is acceptable to read a magazine in a coffee shop, it is
10 inappropriate to do the same in a more luxurious setting. And, if
you are eating in a very rustic setting it may be fine to tuck your
napkin into your shirt, but if you are in a sophisticated urban restaurant
this behavior would demonstrate a lack of manners. It is safe to
say, however, that in virtually every restaurant it is unacceptable
15 to indiscriminately throw your food on the floor. The conclusion
we can most likely draw from the above is that while the types and
locations of restaurants determine etiquette appropriate to them,
some rules apply to all restaurants.
