VII.     Reading

Read  the  text  and  choose  the  right  answer.

In 1608  an  Englishman  whose  name  was Thomas Coryate  visited  Italy.  He  liked  the  country  and  noted  down  every  interesting  thing  he found.  But  there  was  one  thing  which  he  found more  interesting  than  the  others.  In  his  diary Thomas  wrote,  "When  the  Italians  eat  meat,  they use  small  forks.  They  do  not  eat  with  hands because,  as  they  say,  people  do  not  always  have clean  hands."

Before  leaving  for  England,  Thomas  Coryate bought a few forks.

     At  home  Thomas  gave  a  dinner  party  to  show the  invention  to  his  friends.  When  the  servants brought  the  steak,  he  took  out  a  fork  and  began to  eat  like  they  did  in Italy.

Everybody  looked  at  him  in  surprise. When  he told  his  friends  what  it  was,  they  all  wanted  to take  a  good  look  at  the  strange  thing.  All  his friends  said  that  the  Italians  were  very  strange people  because  the  fork  was  very  inconvenient.

Thomas  Coryate  tried  to  prove  the  opposite. He said  it  was  not  nice  to  eat  meat  with  one's fingers  because  they  were  not  always  clean.

Everybody  got  angry  at  that.  Did Mr Coryate think  that  people  in  England  always  had  dirty hands?  And  weren't  the  ten  fingers  we  had  enough  for us?

Thomas  Coryate  wanted  to  show  that  it  was very  easy  to  use  the  fork.  But  the  first  piece of meat  he  took  with  the  fork  fell  to  the  floor.  His friends  began  to  laugh  and  he  had  to  take  the fork  away.
