The customs in different
countries are rather different. If I have dinner with a Chinese host, he always
puts 36 food onto my plate as soon as I 37 .That often 38 me greatly. I 39
eat the food 40 I don't want to, because it is 41 bad manners in the
west to 42 one's food on the plate. I have also noticed that when a Chinese
sits at an American's dinner party, he very often 43 the offer of food or drink
44 he is in fact still hungry or thirsty. This might be good manners in China, but is not in the west 45 .In the United States,
it is 46 to keep asking someone again and again or insist on his 47 something.
Americans have a direct way of 48 .If they want something, they will 49 it. If
not, they will say," 50 , thanks." When an American is fed up with
beer by the host, for example, he might say,"No,
thanks. I'll take some orange juice 51 you have it" That is 52 an American
will do. 53 when you go to the
United States, you had better remember the famous 54 "When in Rome, do 55 the Romans do."
