In many Japanese households, people take off their shoes at the entrance. They may wear slippers indoors. This custom helps keep a clean floor.
Other homes have different rules. Even in the same country, each family may do things differently. When you visit, watch your host or ask, “Should I take off my shoes?”
Follow their answer instead of guessing. A respectful visitor does not need to know every custom. A respectful visitor is ready to ask and learn.

读完后，试着用一句话说出本文的主要意思，并从原文找出支持它的一句话。
查看中文译文
许多日本家庭会在门口脱鞋，进屋后换上拖鞋。这种习惯有助于保持地板清洁。
别的家庭可能有不同规矩。即使在同一个国家，每家人的做法也可能不同。做客时，可以先观察主人，或问一句：“我需要脱鞋吗？”
按主人的回答去做，而不是自己猜。懂得尊重的客人不必熟悉所有习俗，只要愿意询问和学习。
