【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是每个人都想成为一个有礼貌的人，但是怎样做才是有礼貌的，一个有礼貌的人会做什么，不会做什么，短文中作者给我举了很多例子来说明这个问题。

1.细节理解题。根据短文的开头We say that a person has good manners if he or she is polite, kind and helpful to others.可知，如果一个人是有礼貌的，友善的，乐于助人的，那么这个人就是有好的礼仪的。故选D。

2.细节理解题。短文的第二段告诉了我们一个有好的礼仪的人会做什么，不会做什么，根据这里He says “please” when he makes a request (请求), and he says “thank you” when he receives something.我们可知知道，这样的人在提出请求的时候会说：请；收到东西的时候会说：谢谢。所以这对于一个有好的礼仪的人来说是重要的，必要的。故选D。

3.推理判断题。根据短文的第二段中作者给出的那些例子，我们可以看出，一个有好的礼仪的人总是先让着别人，然后再想到自己。故应该选A。

4.推理判断题。短文的第二段告诉了我们一个有好的礼仪的人会做什么，不会做什么，根据这一段中He doesn’t stop other people when they are talking.可知，一个有礼貌的人不会打断别人的话，故应该选D。根据He never laughs at people when they are in trouble.可知A不对；根据He does not speak with his mouth full of food when he is eating.可知B不对；根据He doesn’t stop other people when they are talking可知C不对。
