Good Table Manners
Manners play an important part in making a favorable impression at the dinner table. Here are some general rules: Napkin （餐巾）use
The meal begins when the host unfolds his or her napkin. This is your signal to do the same, so place your napkin on your lap. Unfold it completely if it is a small napkin. Or in half, lengthwise （纵向地）,if it is a large dinner napkin.
If you need to leave the table during the meal, place your napkin on your chair as a signal to your server that you will be returning. Once the meal is over, place your napkin neatly on the table to the right of your dinner plate. Do not refold it.
Use a napkin only for your mouth. Never use it for your nose, face or forehead.
Use of utensils （餐具）
Start with the knife, fork or spoon furthest from your plate, and work your way in, using one utensil for each course.
If soup is served, remember to spoon away from yourself. This helps stop the drips. Do not put the entire soup spoon in your mouth. Instead, fill a soup spoon about 75 per cent with soup, and sip（啜饮）it from the side noiselessly.
After finishing dinner, place the knife and fork parallel to one another across the plate with the knife blade facing inward toward the plate.
Using your fingers
Here's a list of finger foods: sandwiches, cookies, small fruits or berries with stems, French fries and potato chips, and hamburgers.
Chew（咀嚼）with your mouth closed and don't make noise; don't talk with your mouth full.
Bread must be broken with your hands. It is never cut with a knife.
Don't pick something Out of your teeth. Instead, excuse yourself to the bathroom.
If possible, try not to cough at the table.
Do not put your elbows （肘）on the table. In France, it is essential to have both hands above the table at the same time.
Do not put bones or anything else on the table. Things that are not eaten should be put on your plate.

Even Intelligent People Can Fail
①The striking thing about the innovators who succeeded in making our modern world is how often they failed. Turn on a light, take a photograph, watch TV, search the Web, jet across the Pacific Ocean, talk on a cellphone（手机）. The innovators who left us these things had to find the way to success through a maze （错综复杂）of wrong turns.
②We have just celebrated the 125th anniversary of American innovator Thomas Edison's success in heating a thin line to white-hot heat for 14 hours in his lab in New Jersey, U. S. He did that on October 22,1879 ,and followed up a month later by keeping a thread of common cardboard alight （点亮着的）in an airless space for 45 hours. Three years later he went on to light up half a square mile of downtown Manhattan, even though only one of the six power plants in his design worked when he turned it on, on September 4, 1882.
③"Many of life's failures," the supreme innovator said," are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up."Before that magical moment in October 1879, Edison had worked out no fewer than 3,000 theories about electric light, but in only two cases did his experiments work.
④No one likes failure, but the smart innovators learn from it. Mark Gumz, the head of the camera maker Olympus America Inc, attributes some of the company's successes in technology to understanding failure. His popular phrase is:"You only fail when you quit."
⑤Over two centuries, the most common quality of the innovators has been persistence. That is another way of saying they had the emotional ability to keep up what they were doing. Walt Disney, the founder of Disneyland, was so broke after a succession of financial failures that he was left shoeless in his office because he could not afford the U. S.

⑥Failure is harder to bear in today's open, accelerated world. Hardly any innovation works the first time. But an impatient society and the media want instant success. When American music and movie master David Geffen had a difficult time, a critic said nastily that the only difference between Geffen Records (Geffen's company) and the Titanic (the ship that went down) was that the Titanic had better music. Actually, it wasn't. After your years of losses, Geffen had so many hits(成功的作品)he could afford a ship as big as the Titanic all to himself.
