Question

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 theUnited States，it is impolite to keep asking someone again and again or insist on him accepting something．Americans have a direct way of speaking．If they want something，they will ask for it．If not，they wilt say，“No，thanks．”When an American is fed with beer by the host，for example，he might say，“No，thanks．I'll takesome diet，cocacola(可口可乐) if you have it．”That is what an American will do．So when you go to the United States，you'd 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 warm　　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 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 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“_____．” 　　A．When you get to Rome，you should act as the Romans do 　　B．When you stay in Rome，you should do as the Romans do 　　C．When you are in a new country，you should do as the locals do 　　D．Romans can be an example for you [　　]
