Things that were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered to be impolite behavior for a man to smoke on the street. No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in the room.Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesnt matter? What about table manners?The Americans and British people not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England, people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seats to women, and so will most Americans. Promptness(及时) is important both in England and in America. That is, the dinner guest either arrives close to the time that has been made or calls up to explain his delay(耽误).The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortableespecially if they are your guests. There is an old story about a man who gave a very formal dinner party. When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were amused or greatly surprised, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.（1）The underlined phrase make a fool of himself in the first paragraph means .

A . nearly or a minute or two later thanB . a quarter pastC . a quarter toD . much later than（4）The last example in the passage shows . A . the correct way to use a knife at tableB . that it is good manners not to make your guest feel foolish or uncomfortableC . that social customs and ways of behaving change too fastD . that different countries have different customs（5）The best title of the passage is .

They may even shoot scenes(到现场实拍) for several films on the same day using the same costumes(服装). Since most Bollywood movies follow the same k_of story, shooting scenes for several films at the same time is not a big problem for actors and directors.
