Read the passage and choose the best answers:
The cross-bearer who went on the long journey to the Middle East from France, England, Germany and Italy knew little of the kind of
people they were going to meet there. All they knew was that they were going to try to take sacred territory from the hands of “the Infidels”, “
unbelievers” whose God and Prophet were different from their own. After one making contact with the East, the crusaders were surprised to
find there a highly developed culture which was not only much older than Europe’s but in many ways quite superior. Islam and Christianity had
many things in common- most importantly belief in one God. The Islamic codes of morality and hospitality deeply impressed the men from the

discovered that Moslem medicine was far ahead of their own.

The rules of etiquette in American restaurant 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 standard that are most universal. In other words, some standards of etiquette
vary significantly while other standards apply almost every where. Learning the proper etiquette 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 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
