In the eyes of many foreigners, Chinese are the best hosts (主人) and the worst guests in the world. They’re
not really bad guests, but because the guest-host relationship in China is much different than in some western
countries, it appears they are not nice guests. And western hosts sometimes look rude (粗鲁的) in the eyes of
Chinese guests.
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, generally the guest is not a god.
Acting according to the host’s way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.
My wife’s mother, a very kind elderly Chinese lady, doesn’t smoke. 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 in
China, to be a good host, she must not do that. In most North American homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts
are not smokers, you should not smoke in their house. At the very least, you could ask, “Is it OK if I smoke?” But,
don’t be surprised if they say, “No, you can’t smoke.” In our culture, if you smoke in their home, you are a bad
guest, but if they do not allow you to smoke in their house, they are not a rude host.
Guests in China also have special habits. Some western people may not adapt to these habits very soon.
Thankfully my wife is Chinese, so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However,
giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So, if you invite international guests to your house,
don’t be too surprised if they don’t bring you a gift.
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. 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.

A. best B. worst C. most natural D. most different

A. It’s OK if you smoke here. B. Let’s smoke together.
C. Sorry, you can’t smoke here. D. Smoking is a bad habit.
4. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “adapt to” in the passage?
A. think back to B. get used to C. look forward to D. keep close to

答案
Be a student with good manners
It’s very important to be a person with good manners in our daily life.
Last Saturday evening, all my family were enjoying dinner in a restaurant when a group of young people came
into it. While they were eating their food, they talked loudly and smoked. I tried to stop them doing so, but they
refused to listen to me. Instead, they said it was none of my business and laughed at me.
In fact, what they did upset me deeply, but I was proud of what I did. In my opinion, we should keep quiet in
public. Also, we should be polite to others. Only in this way can we be trained to be persons with good manners.
