When I was quite young, I discovered that somewhere inside the telephone lived an amazing
person - "Information Please" and there was nothing she did not know.　
One day while my mother was out, I hit my finger with a hammer. The pain was terrible, but
there was no one home to give me any sympathy. I walked around the house, finally arriving at the telephone! Quickly, I called “Information Please" and told her what happened.  She told me to open the icebox and hold a little piece of ice to my finger.
After that, I called "Information Please" for everything. When my pet bird died, I told
"Information Please" the sad story. She tried to comfort me, she said quietly, "Paul, always remember that there are other worlds to sing in." Somehow I felt better. Another day I was on the telephone, “How do you spell ‘grateful’? ". All this took place in a small town in the Pacific Northwest. When I was 9, we moved to Boston.
A few years later, on my way to college, my plane put down in Seattle. I had about half an
hour or so between planes. Without thinking, I dialed my hometown operator and said, "Information, please."    　　
Surprisingly, I heard the small, clear voice I knew so well, "Information." I hadn't planned on
this but I heard myself saying, "Could you please tell me how to spell ‘grateful’?"
There was a long pause. Then came the soft-spoken answer, "I guess your finger must have
healed by now."   I laughed. "So it's really still you," I said, "I wonder if you have any idea how much you meant to me during that time."  I told her how often I had thought of her over the years and asked if I could call her again. "Please do," she said, "Just ask for Sally."　　
Three months later I was back in Seattle. A different voice answered me. I was told that Sally
passed away five weeks before.   　　
Before I could hang up she told me that Sally left a message for me—“Tell him I still say
there are other worlds to sing in. He'll know what I mean.”  I thanked her and hung up. I knew what Sally meant.
Never underestimate the impression you may make on others. Whose life have you touched
today?

When I was a boy, I belonged to the Boy Scouts(童子军)，so I used to go camping every summer, and once something happened which I have never been able to explain.

We were camping in a place above a river. After arriving, we all rushed down to the river and had a swim. Standing by the river, we noticed that it was surrounded by cliffs (悬崖).If someone wanted to reach the river at this point, he had to walk past our camp.

Several days later, the scoutmaster had to be away for a day. That afternoon, we had supper early. We were sitting round the fire, eating and talking, when a man walked past and went down towards the river. We all felt that this man looked very strange, but, because each of us was afraid of looking very stupid, no one said anything.

We ate rather slowly, taking as long as possible. After finishing, we collected our plates together so that we could take them to the river where we always washed them. But no one moved towards the river, we stood looking at each other ashamed. Then all shouting at once, we began talking about the man who had walked past us. We agreed how strange he looked and we wondered what he could be doing by the river. We knew that he could only return by passing through our camp.

An hour passed. Then one of the boys suggested we should creep(悄悄移动)down by the river so that we could see what the man was doing. Moving very slowly and keeping in the shadow, we crept down towards the bank. One boy climbed a tree so that he could see everything clearly. He called to us that there was no one there, so we ran down to the bank, looking everywhere carefully. We could not understand where the man had gone.

When it got dark, we went back to our camp feeling bewildered. We told the scoutmaster what had happened in the evening. Smiling, he doubted that we had seen the man, but finally suggested we go and look again. We did, but there was no one there.

Many years have passed, but I still remember it as if it were yesterday. What did we see? I do not know.

Before I came to China, I had heard that, although North Americans eat more than Chinese, Chinese eat better．Since I have come to China, I have been able to experience these differences first-hand．A whole new world of food has been opened up to me．

Along with these new experiences came the quite unexpected introduction to the rituals（惯例） associated with eating．For example, shortly after arriving, I was gently criticized for filling somebody’s teacup all the way up instead of half way．This was a signal to the person that I desired that he leave．

There may be mixed messages about what it means when you do something associated with food．But the fact is that there may be a message contained in the preparation, serving and consumption（吃喝） of food in China．This was an idea that was totally new to me!

More than one Chinese has made the comment to me that they were unhappy with the results of inviting a foreigner to a meal．They told me that the foreigner was not appreciative of the meal that was served to him or her and was hard to please．

Having played the part of the foreigner at more than one Chinese buffet, I can understand where the misunderstandings come from．I myself have felt very uncomfortable during some of the dinners I have been invited to．

One time I was invited to a dinner in a famous restaurant in Tianjin．Its menu was based on seafood．I was still relatively new to the concept （概念） that your fish would be brought live to your table．In Canada you are never introduced to your meal before hand．Something we don’t like is considering what our food looks before the actual consumption．

However, having been in China for one year, I went along and helped point out some of the selections for the evening’s meal．I hesitated at the scorpions（蝎子）, but swallowed my distaste and indeed found later that they were tasty．

The meal was winding its way（蜿蜒向前） along without any problems．Then they brought out the lobster（龙虾）．I looked at it and then looked at it again and noticed that it was still moving! It had been brought out live to show that our raw lobster was indeed very fresh．

At that point, I nearly lost it．It took all my composure（镇定） for me to stay seated at the table and hurl（冲进） myself in the bathroom and bring up the contents of the previous dishes．

Now the interesting thing is that when I tell that story to a foreigner, the reaction is always the same: Horror, sympathy, shock．When I tell the same story to Chinese, they don’t understand my point of view．In fact, I often think that they believe that there is something truly wrong with me and not with the fact a lobster had been served live at the table．

1．According to the author of the passage, it is the Chinese custom ___________．

A．to fill somebody’s teacup all the way up

B．not to fill somebody’s teacup full

C．not to fill somebody’s teacup half way

D．not to desire the guest to leave

A．she disliked scorpions and lobster

B．the service in the restaurants were not good enough

C．she disliked that the things were brought live to the table

D．she thought the food was not fresh enough

3．It can be inferred from the last paragraph of the passage that___________．

A．the author can get support from foreigners

B．Chinese don’t understand the author’s point of view

C．something is truly wrong with the author

D．different countries may have different rituals of consumption

4．The word “buffet” in the fifth paragraph means __________．

A．meal B．party C．food D．service
