Do as the Romans Do

The customs in different countries are rather different. If I have dinner with a Chinese host, he always puts more food onto my plates as soon as I have emptied it. That often discomforts me greatly. I have to eat the food even if I don’t want to, because it is considered bad manners in the West to leave one’s food on the plate. I have already noticed that when a Chinese sits at an American’s dinner party, he very often refuses the offer of food or drink though he is in fact 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 fed with beer by the host, for example, he might say, “No, thanks. I’ll take some diet, Pepsi-Cola（百事可乐）if you have it. ”That is what an American will do. So when you go to the United States, you had better remember the famous saying: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

1.From the passage, we can know that the Chinese are usually ________ to the guests.

A. very hot　 　　　　　 B. rude

C. impolite　　　　　　　 D. cold

2.When a foreigner has dinner with a Chinese host, he often feels _______.

A. pleasant　　　　　　　 B. uncomfortable

C. satisfied　　　　 　　 D. happy

3.Why does a Chinese often refuse the offer of food or drink at a dinner party?

A. He has had enough.

B. He is shy.

C. He is afraid that others will laugh at him.

D. He thinks it’s polite to do that.

4.When an American wants something to eat or drink at a dinner, he will _______.

A. ask for it boldly

B. refuse the offer

C. ask for it directly

D. express himself indirectly

5.“When in Rome, do as the Romans do “means “________”.

A. When you got to Rome, you should act as the Romans do

B. When you stay in Rome, you should do as the Romans do

C. When you are in a new country, you should do as the locals do

D. Romans can be an example for you

If you travel around the world, you will be surprised to find that some foreign customs can be so different from your own.

A visitor to India would remember that people there think it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is used for washing yourself. Also in India, 'when you see a man shaking his head, you may think he is disagreeing. But in many parts of India a shake of the head shows agreement or acceptance. Nodding your head when you are offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty. In that country you shake your head to say "yes'--a nod means "no". The Arabs are famous for their hospitality(好客). At a meal in the Arabic countries, you will find that any drinking vessel(器皿) is filled again and again as soon as you drain it. The way to show that you have had enough is to take the cup or glass in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.

In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs when sitting talking to someone, even at an important meeting.　 Doing this when meeting an important person in Thailand, however, could make him or her unhappy. It is considered too informal an attitude for such an occasion. Also when in Thailand you are not supposed to touch the head of an adult-- it's just not done. In Japan, it is quite usual for men to plan evening entertainment for themselves and leave their wives at home. In Europe such attitudes are disappearing.

Customs differ from country to country. Visitors may be at a loss as to what to do in a foreign environment. Remember the rule: when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

1.In which country a left-hand is not welcomed?

A. Thailand.　　 B. India.　　 C. Japan.　　 D. Bulgaria.

2.In many parts of India, if someone shakes his head at another, it shows that he

A. agrees　　 B. disagrees　　 C. refuses　　 D. shocks

3.Which of the following is NOT polite in Europe?

A. To cross your legs.

B. To touch the head of an adult.

C. To drain the glass in your hand.

D. Men planning evening entertainment, leaving their wives at home.

4.If you don~t know the customs in another country, the golden rule to follow is

A. to do in your own way　　 B. to do nothing

C. to visit home only　　 D. to do as the natives do
