阅读下面短文，在空白处填入适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
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 seesome 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.

应主人做事方式，不同文化下对吸烟等行为的态度不同，提醒人们若西方主人邀请做客，对其待客风格
别太惊讶。
1．句意：在许多西方人眼中，中国人是世界上最好的主人，但却是最糟糕的客人。根据“in...world”可知，
此处表示在世界上，用定冠词“the”表示特指。故填the。
2．句意：这可能是因为中国的宾主关系与一些西方国家的宾主关系大不相同。根据“is much
different...that”可知，此处考查短语“be different from”，意为“与……不同”，因此用介词“from”。故填
from。
3．句意：这可能是因为中国的宾主关系与一些西方国家的宾主关系大不相同。根据“some Western...”可
知，此处表示一些西方国家，“country”是可数名词，应用复数形式“countries”。故填countries。
4．句意：客人按照主人的做事方式行事是常见的行为。根据“the host’s way of...”可知，此处考查短语

8．句意：在我们的文化中，这完全不算不礼貌。根据“it’s not considered...at all”以及前文提到得到
“不”的回答可知，此处表示这完全不算不礼貌，“polite”的否定形式为“impolite”，意为“不礼貌的”。
故填impolite。9．句意：在中国，你可能不需要太多地改变宾主关系，因为你可能只会是主人，而中国人天生就是很好
的主人。根据“need...”可知，此处考查短语“need to do sth.”，意为“需要做某事”，因此用“change”的
不定式形式“to change”。故填to change。
