was eating something. A local man told her not to do so. The girl's mother told him to mind his
own business. A quarrel started. Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway rules say people cannot eat
on the subway. The rules say the train will be filled with the smell of food. They say the smell will
attract mice to the train. These mice might chew the cables and cause safety problems for passengers.
People caught eating on the subway will be fined up to 2,000 Hong Kong dollars (1,625 yuan),
Xinhua reported. Signs clearly say "no eating" and the rule is often announced on the subway and in
stations. However, the girl and her parents say they did not notice this.
This seemingly small event has started a debate on the Internet, Xinhua reported.
A netizen named Zhu Hongying said some Chinese consider bad habits like talking loudly in public
places, spitting or jumping queues as small matters. They simply don't care because they think public
places are not their private homes. "This kind of thinking shows a lack of a sense of social morality,"
she pointed out.
Many people agree. "The parents (of the girl) should have apologized for their mistake," Zhang
Nan, 15, a Senior 1 student at Diaotai High School, Shaanxi, said to Teens. "Quarreling after making
the mistake only makes the situation more embarrassing for them."
Reports of Chinese people behaving badly at tourist sites at home and abroad are nothing new.
Such reports are affecting the way other countries see Chinese people. Some foreign airports put
up signs in Chinese telling Chinese people not to talk loudly and not to spit everywhere. Many
Chinese people find this embarrassing.
All this shows that one of the secrets to a good journey is to learn about local customs and
taboos before you go.
B. a group of people who have the power to make and change laws
C. a general agreement that does not allow people to do, use or talk about something
D. guidance offering information of local weather, accommodation and specialties
B. leave much to be desired
C. are only too easy to improve
D. are always to blame anywhere anytime
B. Birds of a feather flock together
C. Misfortune may be an actual blessing
D. A real man never goes back on his words

The customs in different countries are rather different. If I have dinner with a Chinese host, he always puts more food onto my plate as soon as I have emptied it. That often discomforts me greatly. I have to eat the food even if I do not want to, because it is considered bad manners in the West to leave one's food on the plate. I have also noticed that when a Chinese sits at an American's dinner party, he often refuses the offer of drink though he's in face still hungry or thirsty. This might be good manners in China but it is not in the West at all. In the United States, it is impolite to keep asking someone again and again or insist on his accepting something. Americans have a direct way of speaking. If they want something, they will ask for it. If not, they will say, “No, thanks.” When an American is served with beer by the host, for example, he might say, “No, thanks. I'll take some orange juice 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.”
