Here I must put in a few words about my experience here in China. If I have ___1___ with a Chinese host, he always presses___2___ food onto my plate as soon as I have emptied the previous helping(份额). That often makes me ___3___ very awkward(尴尬). I have to eat the food even if I don’t ___4___ it, because it is considered ___5___ manners in the West to ___6___ one’s food on the plate. I have also ___7___ that when a Chinese sits at an American’s dinner party, he very often ___8___ the offer of food or drink though he is in fact still hungry or ___9___. This might be good manners inChina, but it is certainly___10___ in the West. In the United States, it is___11___ to keep asking someone again and again or press something on him. Americans are very ___12___. If they want something, they will ask for it. If not, they will say, “__13__” Here’s an example: When an American is offered ___14__ by the host, and he doesn’t feel like beer, he will probably say, “No, thanks. I just don’t feel like it. I’ll ___15___ some diet Pepsi-Cola if you have it.” That is ___16__ an American will do. ___17___are taught that “Honesty is the best policy”. But in some countries, courtesy(谦虚) might be more important than ___18___. So when I am here in China, I have to observe the ___19___ here. But when you go to ___20___, you had better “Do as the Romans do.”
