2022 年重庆中考英语第 2 轮专题复习 阅读理解训练 3 A It's true that there are some differences between China and western countries. If you don't know any of them, you may get into trouble when you are with foreigners. If you go to the foreigners' house, there may be one dish ready on the table. And they will tell you, "The dish." While Chinese people usually get a lot of dishes ready and like to say, "It isn't well prepared." As we know, Chinese people like to put the food on your plate to show their hospitality. But foreigners don't do it. They think to help yourself is the best way. Foreigners give guests the chance to choose what they like best. In the west, it is polite to open the gifts as soon as they are given. In China, it is quite different. The Chinese people think if you open the gift at once, you might embarrass(使尴 尬) the person who gives you the gift. So they always open it after the guests leave. Speaking in public is a kind of two-way-communication, it needs eye contact(接触), But the Chinese are usually shy to do this and this will make the speakers feel sad. The westerners are happy to praise(赞扬) others, and they are also glad to accept others' praise. However, the Chinese often refuse praise from others. Foreigners can't understand why they do it like this. "Lao" is used by Chinese people to show someone who is older than the speaker. It also means politeness. But foreigners sometimes seem unhappy because they are called "Lao Wai". They think they are not very old. 1. The underlined word "hospitality" means ______ in Chinese. A. 富裕 2. 3.
