I still remember my first experience with cultural differences. When I 1 (be) in eighth grade, ourschool hosted some exchange students 2 came from Japan. We 3 (suppose) to help them feel
welcome and show them around our city.
One day, something 4 (expect) happened. I gave a small gift to Yuki, one of the Japanese
students. Instead 5 opening it immediately, she politely put it aside. It made me 6 (feel) a
little disappointed at first, thinking she didn’t like it. Later, our teacher explained that in Japanese culture, people
often don’t open gifts right away to show respect and modesty (谦虚).
This experience taught me that we shouldn’t always expect others 7 (behave) the same way we
do. What seems natural in one culture might be 8 (complete) different in another. Now I find learning
about cultural differences is absolutely (完全地) fascinating.
Since then, I 9 (become) more interested in understanding different customs. I even started to
learn Japanese! The world is full of surprises waiting to be discovered 10 we keep an open mind.

In the eyes of many Westerners, Chinese are the best hosts but the worst guests in 1 world. This is
probably because the guest-host relationship in China is much different 2 that in some Western 3
(country).
In China, guests are almost like gods. When I get into a Chinese person’s home, there is always some 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. It is
common behavior for guests to act according to the host’s way of 4 (do) things. And there are lots of
things Westerners find difficult to adapt (适应) to. For example, my Chinese wife doesn’t smoke. So when I see
some of her guests smoking in our house, 5 a non-smoker, I feel really unhappy. Usually I want to stop
them 6 (direct). But I must realize that, to be a good host in China, I mustn’t do that. However, in most
North American homes, you should not smoke in the same situation. You could ask, “Is it OK if I smoke?” But
don’t be 7 (surprise) if you get a “no”. In our culture, it’s not considered 8 (polite) at all.
In China, you probably won’t need 9 (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
houses, try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not 10 you have expected.
