Every country has its own special customs. 45. Americans feel that the first rule of being a polite guest is to be on time. If a person is invited to dinner at six thirty, the hostess expects him to be there at six-thirty, or not more than a few minutes late. When the guest cannot come on time, he calls his host or hostess on the telephone, gives the reason, and tells at what time he can come. 46. 有时候，客人应该带一盒糖果或一些鲜花给女主人。

As guests continue to arrive, it is usually considered polite for the men in the group to stand when a woman enters the room. When the guests sit down at a dinner table, it is customary for the men to help the ladies by pushing their chairs under them.

47. There is a difference between American and European customs in using the knife and fork. Europeans keep the knife in the right hand, the fork in the left. They use both hands in eating. Americans, on the contrary, use just one hand whenever possible and keep the other one on their lap. If for any reason a guest has to leave the table during a meal, he or she should ask the hostess. “Would you please excuse me for a minute?” 48. 没有告诉女主人就离开是不礼貌的。

Following dinner, guests usually stay for two or three hours, and most dinner parties breakup at about 11 o’clock. 49. As the guests leave, it is the custom to thank the hostess for a very pleasant evening. One may say anything that expresses appreciation. Common expressions are: “Goodbye. It was so nice of you to have me,” or “Thank you. I’ve had a very nice time.”

Do as the Romans Do

The customs in different countries are rather different. If I have dinner with a Chinese host, he always puts more food onto my plates as soon as I have emptied it. That often discomforts me greatly. I have to eat the food even if I don’t want to, because it is considered bad manners in the West to leave one’s food on the plate. I have already noticed that when a Chinese sits at an American’s dinner party, he very often refuses the offer of food or drink though he is in fact still hungry or thirsty. This might be good manners in China, but it is not in the West at all. In the United States, it is impolite to keep asking someone again and again or insist on his accepting something. Americans have a direct way of speaking. If they want something, they will ask for it. If not, they will say, “No, thanks.” When an American is fed with beer by the host, for example, he might say, “No, thanks. I’ll take some diet, Pepsi-Cola（百事可乐）if you have it. ”That is what an American will do. So when you go to the United States, you had better remember the famous saying: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

1.From the passage, we can know that the Chinese are usually ________ to the guests.

A. very hot　 　　　　　 B. rude

C. impolite　　　　　　　 D. cold

2.When a foreigner has dinner with a Chinese host, he often feels _______.

A. pleasant　　　　　　　 B. uncomfortable

C. satisfied　　　　 　　 D. happy

3.Why does a Chinese often refuse the offer of food or drink at a dinner party?

A. He has had enough.

B. He is shy.

C. He is afraid that others will laugh at him.

D. He thinks it’s polite to do that.

4.When an American wants something to eat or drink at a dinner, he will _______.

A. ask for it boldly

B. refuse the offer

C. ask for it directly

D. express himself indirectly

5.“When in Rome, do as the Romans do “means “________”.
