The formal rules, like laws and written regulations are easy to find out about and everyone knows you have to follow them. However, the unwritten rules or customs of a foreign society might be harder to find out about and understand. On this page, we will provide some information about laws/regulations and customs that you may find useful while you are here.Arms-length DistanceThis is the distance Swedish people normally stand apart from each other when talking. Swedes are quite reserved about personal space and if you get too close, you will probably see that the Swede will start to back off. Do not feel offended by this, as it is just normal for us to keep some distance between each other.ConflictsSwedish people like consensus and do not like open conflicts. If you have a conflict with a Swede, it would be better to have a discussion about it rather than to show a great deal of emotion or to become openly angry.Walking, Biking and DrivingWhether you are on a bicycle/walking a track or driving, you will be expected to walk on the left-hand side and bicycle on the right. Keeping this in mind might save you from unexpected collisions. Motor vehicles are always driven on the right-hand side of the road.EscalatorsOn the other hand, when riding an escalator you will be expected to stand on the right-hand side so that people who are in a hurry can walk up the left-hand side.Taking your Shoes offThis is a strange habit for most foreigners, but when you enter someones house or flat, you will have to take your outdoor shoes off in the entrance. It is normal to walk around in your socks, even at someone elses house.SmokingSmoking is not allowed in restaurants, pubs or in public buildings. If there is a designated smokers area, usually outside, this is the only area that you are allowed to smoke. If there is a designated area for smoking inside bars and clubs, no drinks or food can be served or brought into it. Please make it a habit to ask before you smoke, and especially in other peoples homes.The Number that Makes our Country TickAfter you have lived in Sweden for a short while, you will notice that ten little numbers make the world go round, or at least make life in Sweden a great deal easier. Those are the numbers that make up the Swedish personal ID number. In Sweden, this number is used for just about everything that involves the need to identify who a person is. Things like opening a bank account, buying insurance, using on-line booking systems and services or subscribing to a magazine are made much more easier if you have these ten little numbers. However, do not despair, there are usually ways around it.TV LicenseIf you own a TV in Sweden, you are required to report this to the TV license authority and pay the TV license. Every now and then, the TV license authority sends out controllers to visit people who have not reported that they have a TV in order to make sure that their information is correct.Drugs and AlcoholThe purchase and consumption of alcohol is subject to a number of laws and rules. Only persons of 18 years of age or older are allowed to purchase or consume alcoholic beverages. Only licensed serving places and the state owned Systembolaget（瑞典酒类专卖局） are allowed to sell alcoholic beverages that are stronger than 4 volume per cent. If you buy alcohol at a licensed serving place (pub, bar, restaurant), you may not take it outside. It is also forbidden to bring your own alcohol into a bar, pub or restaurant. It is always forbidden to consume alcohol in “public places.” This does not include the outdoor serving areas of licensed pubs or restaurants or your own back yard. Sweden has a rather strict view concerning drugs. The purchase, possession and consumption of drugs of any kind (including marijuana), for which you do not hold a valid prescription, is illegal. Of course, the distribution of any kind of drug (even if you have a prescription for it) is strictly illegal. The only place that is legally allowed to sell prescription drugs/medication is Apoteket（瑞典药物局）.Car InsuranceIf you buy a car in Sweden, you are required to insure it from the first day that the ownership of the car is transferred to you. It is the responsibility of the seller to send in the paperwork for the transfer of ownership, but you should check that this is done. If you do not insure the car right away (traffic insurance), you will be fined, and the fine is not cheap. Swedish Motor Insurers have more information. （830 words）注意，此部分试题请在答题卡一上作答1， In Sweden, the written rules are easy to find out and you should abide by them A. True B. False C.

Seen from the distance between seats taken by the host and guests, the seat closer to the host is more respected. If you are the host, you should arrive at the dining room ahead of time, wait for guests at the door, and lead them to take a seat. If you are the guest, you should follow the host to take the seat. ServingA standard Chinese-style dinner is usually served in the following order: cold meats, fried fishes, entrees(正菜), snacks, soup, after-meal desserts (if requested) and fruits. Style of dishes in every process should be put into consideration at the time of dish ordering. Dining。The Chinese are particular about the food as well as table manner. At the beginning of a Chinese meal, the waiter will bring a wet towel to each guest, which is used to wipe hands, rather than face. When lobster, chicken or fruit is served, a little cup containing water, lemon slices or rose leaves will be brought up by the waiter, which is used to wash hand, rather than drinking. When washing hands, one should gently rinse his fingers of both hands in turn in the cup and then mop them up with a small towel. After the meal, one may wipe his mouth with dinner cloth, napkin paper or small towel. It is inappropriate to wipe your forehead, neck or chest, or burp and belch(打嗝) without self-control after the meal. Guests should not leave the dinner table before the host suggests that the meal is ended. “Help yourself” At Chinese dinner table, the host usually asks the guests to “Help yourself” or even fetch food for the guests, which is regarded as a hospitable manner. （320 words）57.

Passage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.Who can one tip nowadays? And who should you not tip, not for lack of service but because of proper tipping etiquette? A useful guideline for navigating(指导) the uncertainty in this topic of tipping is that if the person concerned has physically participated in providing the service, such as supervising the meal, doing your hair or giving you a facial, for example, then the award of a tip is likely to be on safe ground. Perhaps because the great social divide that once distanced tippers from the tipped has narrowed, few working in the occupations that traditionally command a tip are liable to take offence regardless of their status.However, an element of personal judgment comes into play when tipping, as whether tipping is considered acceptable very much depends on the prospective recipient and his or her general standing. When the person to whom the tip is offered shows a genuine reluctance to accept, and you wish to reward him or her, Love Stories advice is to rely on the face-saver of proposing that they put the tip in the staff box or pass it on to the proper quarters.A doubtful area in tipping guidelines concerns personal friends who may work as freelance cooks, beauty therapists, waiters or masseuses(女按摩师), for instance. Love Stories advice is not to rate friendship above professional practice and to offer a tip as a recognized deal between equals. Another is whether you are obliged to slip a gratuity(酬金) to your host or employers chauffeur who drives you to your destination without the drivers employer on board. For a short drive perhaps not, but otherwise offer a tip.Many of the old limits in tipping guidelines are still in place. No tipping of the maid or the nanny who accompanies her charges when they come to stay on holiday, though a present for special help given would be thoughtful. No tipping of the saintly staff nurse on duty in your ward see above. And absolutely no tipping in traditionally run dining or recreation clubs when you are the non-member guest of a member.62. Which of the following usually is NOT tipped?A. a waiter B. a doctor C. a hairdresser D. a driver63. When a person really dont want to be tipped, its better _.A. to give it to the whole staff.B. to propose love.C. to take it back.D. to pass on to others. 64. Why is it hesitant to tip personal friends?A. Because they are freelance workers.B. Because they are professionals.C. Because they are not your employees.D. Because it might spoil the relationship.65. Which of the following is not old limits in tipping guideline?A. No tipping of the maid or nanny.B. No tipping of the staff nurse on duty.C. No tipping of the hosts Chauffeur who drive you long way home.D. No tipping in traditionally run dining club as a non-member guest.66. The best title for this passage is _.A. What is a tip? B. How to tip?C. Should tip be forbidden? D. Why we tip?Part V Cloze (15 minutes)People may be people, but each region and country has (66) customs and traditions and phrases.
