When I was a student in the UK, I went to a pub(酒吧) with two local friends.

We all had a drink and I drank mine quickly. My friends still had half-full glasses

B

In the eyes of many foreigners, Chinese are the best hosts and the worst guests in

the world. They're not really bad guests, but because the guest-host relationship in

China is much different from that in some western countries, it appears that they are

not nice guests. And western guests sometimes look rude (粗鲁的) in the eyes of

Chinese guests.

In China，hosts try their best to make guests feel at home. Whenever I enter a

Chinese person's home, there is always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quick

to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west, acting according to the host's way of

doing things is usual behavior for a guest.

My wife's mother, a very kind elderly Chinese lady, doesn't smoke. When I see

some of her guests smoking in her house, as a non-smoker, I feel unhappy. Usually I

want to stop them directly, but I must realize that in China, to be a good host, she

must not do that. In most North American homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are

not smokers, you should not smoke in their house. At the very least, you could ask，“Is

it OK if I smoke？” But, don't be surprised if they say, “No, you can't smoke. ” In our

culture, if you smoke in their home, you are a bad guest, but if they don't allow you to

smoke in their house, they are not a rude host.

Guests in China also have special habits. Some western people may not adapt__to

these habits very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese, so whenever we visit a

Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However, giving a gift to a host is not

3 always necessary in my country. So, if you invite international guests to your home,

don't be too surprised if they don't bring you a gift.

In China, you probably won't need to change the guest-host relationship very

much because you will probably only be the host, and Chinese are naturally very good

hosts. If western hosts invite you to their house, try not to be too surprised if their

style of treating you is not what you have expected.

5. When a western guest visits a Chinese family, he often ____.

A. buys some fruit B. gets a warm welcome

C. wants some gifts D. takes a cup of coffee

6. If the writer's guests want to smoke in his house, what will he probably say?

A. It's OK if you smoke here. B. Let's smoke together.

C. Sorry, you can't smoke here. D. Smoking is a bad habit.

7. The underlined words“adapt to”in the fourth paragraph probably mean“____”.

A. think back to B. get used to

C. look forward to D. keep close to

8. What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Foreigners should learn from Chinese.

B. Hosts must do things in the guest's way.

C. Western hosts are always nice to guests.

D. People should understand cultural differences.

C
