     In most cultures,when you meet people you know for the first time,it is usual to greet them. Once a young woman 1        England went to Hong Kong to work. When she first arrived,she 2        little about the Chinese culture of language. On her way to school,one day,she went to a 3       to get some money. To her surprise,the bank clerk asked her 4        she had had her lunch. She was surprised at such a question because in the British culture it would 5        an invitation to lunch. Between unmar?ried young people it can also mean the young mans 6      in dating the girl. Since this bank clerk was a stranger to the British woman,she was very puzzled and quickly answered that she had eaten already.

    7      this she went on to school and was even more surprised when one of the teachers asked her the same question.

    By now she understood that it could not be an invitation 8        was puzzled why they asked it. In the following days,she was asked the same question again and again and she spent many hours 9        to work out why so many people kept asking this. At last she thought that these people must be concerned about (关心) her health. She was rather 10        at that time and she thought they must be worrying that she was not eating well.
