Among the many differences between Western and Chinese cultures, table manners are one of the most noticeable(显著的) differences. Westerners often make mistakes at the table in China or in a Chinese home. In order not to have an embarrassing(尴尬的) experience, here are some things to consider next time you are eating with some Chinese.
Step1:
Keep in mind that food is shared. It is one of the biggest differences between Chinese and Western eating habits. In China a few dishes are placed in the center of a table and shared by all. Also, you should offer thanks when a Chinese host takes food from one of the dishes on the table and places it on your plate. Refusing it would not be polite even if you are full.
Step2:
Respect the chopsticks. The chopsticks are the single most important tool at a Chinese table. Use the chopsticks to grab food and never skewer (叉) it. Also make sure to place your chopsticks over your bowl or plate. Don’t lay them on the table or even worse, stick them into the rice bowl.
Step3:
Use communal(共用的)chopsticks. To take food from the center of the table you should use the communal chopsticks or spoons that are placed there for that purpose. If there are no communal tools, use the other ends of your chopsticks to take food, remembering not to use the other end to put food into your mouth.
Step4:
Respect the elders. Table manners in China place extra respect on elders. At the table, pass food to your elders before taking it for yourself. If someone makes a toast, make sure that when you clink glasses with someone older than you, the rim of your glass is lower than the rim of the elder person.
1.How can you use your chopsticks according to the passage?
A.Use them to grab your own food.
B.Put them on the table.
C.Use them to skewer the food.
D.Stick them into the rice bowl.
2.According to the passage, the following are wrong EXCEPT that ________.
A.you don’t have to accept the food a Chinese host places on your plate
B.a skewer is also a commonly used tool at a Chinese table
C.one can offer his own chopsticks for communal use when there aren’t any
D.when clinking glasses, the rim of the younger person should be lower than that of the older person
3.What is the purpose of writing the passage?
A.To let the world get a full understanding of China.
B.To introduce table manners among different cultures.
C.To introduce Chinese table manners to Westerners.
D.To introduce how Chinese table manners came into being.

Shyness May Be Partly Inherited(遗传)
About 92 million Americans are shy, and according to recent research about half of them inherited the trait.
The studies were discussed at the American Psychological Convention.
One study, by Harvard University, was of babies 21- 48 months old. It concluded that these babies had a high heart rate when shown unfamiliar people or different toys.
Although shyness is not new, it has only recently become of interest to researchers. The first study on the genetic connection was in 1979.
According to Warren Jones of the University of Tulsa, social relations these days are more complex. "With less ritual(仪式) and more complex situations," he said, "shyness is a national concern."
Not all shy people are anxious and fearful, according to another study. Evidence shows that only half of shy people are tense, worried, and fearful in social situations.
Many men use shyness as an excuse for failing in social situations, according to C.R. Snyder of the University of Kansas. "This is not true of females. Perhaps,
American men are pressured to be assertive(自信的) and successful. So they would rather say they're shy than admit they're incompetent."
Shy people may do very well socially after the first meeting with someone. In fact, shy people tend to be more stable.
The psychologists said shyness seems to be cultural. Japan has the highest rating. China and Israel have the lowest rating. The United States rated in the middle.
1.The word "trait" in the first paragraph means ______.
A. way B. tradition
C. character D. possession
2.Those babies studied were ______ when they saw unfamiliar people or different toys.
A. tense or fearful B. calm
C. as usual D. stable
3.Which of the following statements is Wrong?
A. Researchers began to study shyness when it was known to them.
B. According to Warren Jones, shyness had something to do with social relations.
C. Some shy people are anxious and fearful, some not.
D. Shyness can perhaps make people do very well socially.
4.Why would American men rather say they're shy than admit they're incompetent(无能)?
A. shyness is usually used as an excuse by them.
B. shyness is a good excuse.
C. females don't use shyness as an excuse.
D. they are under the pressure of social situations.
5.We can learn from this passage that ______.
A. shyness is naturally inherited
B. shy people have virtues as well as shortcomings.
C. females don’t use shyness as an excuse
D. which country has shy people.

We all have ideas about what kinds of foods are good to eat. We also have ideas about what kinds of foods are bad to eat. As a result, people from one culture often think the foods that people from another culture eat are nauseating(令人作呕的). When the famous boxer Muhammad Ali visited Africa, for example, one member of his group became quite sick when he saw someone pick up a butterfly and eat it. Many people would find it disgusting to eat rats, but there are forty-two different cultures whose people regard rats as appropriate food.
Food likes and dislikes do not always seem related to nutrition. For example, broccoli is first on a list of the most nutritious common vegetables, but it is twenty-first on a list of vegetables that Americans like most to eat. Tomatoes are sixteenth on the list of most nutritious vegetables, but they are first on the list of vegetables that Americans like most to eat.
But dislike is not the only reason why some cultures will not eat a certain food. In some cultures, certain foods are taboo. Some foods are taboo in certain religions, but there are also other food taboos that are not connected to a religion. We do not usually think about why certain things are taboo in our culture. We may not even know why they are taboo. Anthropologists(人类学家) try to discover the hidden reasons for taboos.
Anthropologists believe that most food likes and dislikes are a result of the ways of life of different people. Some people live in areas where there are both large animals and many insects. It is difficult for these people to kill large animals, and it requires a lot of energy. It is easier for them to use insects for food because it is not difficult to catch insects and it does not require a lot of energy. Nomadic(游牧的) people who move around will not want to keep pigs for food. People will not eat pets such as dogs. Americans eat a lot of beef because there is plenty of land for raising cattle and the meat can be shipped cheaply for long distances by railroads.
1. What’s the main topic of this passage?
A. Food and religion. B. Food and culture.
C. Nutrition of different foods. D. Different ways of life.
2.Which of the following statements is TRUE about food likes and dislikes?
A. They are seldom related to nutrition.
B. They are mostly associated with people’s taste.
C. They are mostly connected with people’s life styles.
D. They are usually related to cultures or religions.
3.The underlined word “taboo” (Line 3, Para. 3) refers to _____.
A. something undiscovered B. certain religions
C. something forbidden D. certain foods
4.What can we infer from the passage?
A. It is believed that brcoccoli is more nutritious than tomatoes.
B. Americans prefer tomatoes to beef.
C. People in Inner Mongolia would probably like to keep pigs for food.
D. The famous boxer Muhamm Ali would like to eat rat rather than butterfly.
5.Why do Americans prefer to eat beef?
A. Because beef provides a lot of energy people require.
B. Because beef is on the list of the most nutritious foods.
C. Because they have the ideal condition to keep and ship cattle.
D. Because cattle are large animals.
