Zongzi is a traditional Chinese food. In the Western world, it is also known as rice dumplings. It is traditionally eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival which falls on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar.

A popular belief about the festival is the death of Qu Yuan. He is a famous Chinese poet from the kingdom of Chu. When his country was defeated by the kingdom of Qin, Qu Yuan was so hopeless that he drowned himself in the Miluo River. According to the legend, people threw rice into the river to stop the fish from eating the poet’s body.

There are many kinds of shapes about zongzi. Making zongzi is a skill that is passed down through families. It is also a traditional family event that everyone will be interested in.

The fillings used for zongzi are different from region to region, but the rice used is almost always the sticky rice. Depending on the region, the rice may be lightly cooked or soaked(浸泡) in water before being used. In the north, fillings are mostly red beans and red dates(红枣).

任务1根据英文释义及首字母提示，拼写单词。

The Chinese and Western eating habits are different. Everyone has his or her own plate of food in the western countries. In China, we put the dishes on the table and everybody shares. It is always polite to let guests or older people at the table taste every dish first.

Although there are no strict rules on how to set chopsticks and spoons, there are some things

you should never do during a Chinese meal. Firstly, and the most importantly, we will put your chopsticks on the dish instead of putting them upright (直立的)in the rice bowl. If you stick your chopsticks in the rice bowl, it seems you want someone at the table to die. Don’t tap on your bowl with your chopsticks. Beggars tap on their bowls, so this is not polite, especially when you eat in a friend’s home.

In the eyes of many Westerners, Chinese are the best hosts (主人) but the worst guests in the world. This is probably because the guest-host relationship in China is much different from that in some Western countries.

In China, guests are almost like gods. 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, things are different. Acting according to the host’s way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.

And there are lots of things Westerners find difficult to adapt to. For example, my mother-in-law doesn’t smoke. So 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, to be a good host in China, she mustn’t do that. However, in most North American homes, you should not smoke in the same case. You could ask, “Is it OK if I smoke?” But don’t be surprised if you get a “no”. In our culture, it’s not considered rude at all.

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. But 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.

1.Many Westerners think Chinese are the worst guests because ________.

A. Chinese act like gods in their home　　 B. they don’t expect gifts from Chinese

C. there are cultural differences　　 D. Chinese are heavy smokers

2.When a Western guest visits a Chinese family, he often ________ .

A. buys some fruit　　 B. feels like a god

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

3.If the writer’s guests want to smoke in his house, he will probably say “________”

A. It’s OK. Go ahead.　　 B. Would you like a cigarette (香烟)?

C. Smoking is a bad habit.　　 D. Sorry, please don’t smoke here.

4.In the passage, the underlined phrase “adapt to” probably means “________”.

A. think back to　　 B. get used to

C. look forward to　　 D. keep close to

5.When it comes to the guest-host relationship, the writer thinks ________.

A. foreigners should learn from Chinese

B. hosts must do things in the guests’ way

C. Western hosts are always nice to guests

D. people should understand cultural differences

Unlike Chinese people, the ones in the West believe in star signs. Western world has a complete system(系统) of star signs, and they explain them and use them to tell a person’s characteristics and the things they like or dislike. There are a cycle of 12 of them in all. All of them are decided by the date instead of the year of your birth and each of them has its own characteristics.

Sagittarius (射手座) is one of them. Now, let’s take it as an example:

Sagittarius (November 23—December 21)

Sagittarius in short

Sagittarius are fun, loving, generous and very friendly. They seldom tell lies; in fact they’re so open about everything, They have surprising intuitions(直觉) that they should pay attention to. They are pretty clever because they are so interested in everything. They can be a bit rude, that’s only because they’re very honest and will say exactly what they think. They love travelling, fast cars and horse riding. They also love spending money.

More about Sagittarius

They are hard-working. They are very open-minded about new ideas and love to try ideas out. Usually it does end up working because they have an excellent intuition and can usually tell straight away if an idea is a good one or a bad one.
