Paper 1I. Reading Comprehension(2*15=30)Directions: After reading the three following passages, you will find 15 questions and make the correct choice to each question.Passage 1When Chinese and Western customs associated with dinner invitations are compared, it can easily be seen that there are many differences between the two cultures. This may easily result in problems and misunderstandings for Chinese and Westerners.From the Western point of view, there are the following difficulties associated with eating a Chinese meal. Firstly, Westerners may be unused to using chopsticks, and for reasons of hygiene they may feel uncomfortable at everyone eating out of a communal dish with their own chopsticks. Moreover, they may not know what to do with unwanted items such as bones. To keep them in their bowl or dish is impractical, yet to simply place them on the table seems impolite. But perhaps the biggest problem relates to the quantity of food. Most Westerners feel quite overwhelmed by the vast amount of food that is served. When the host continuously offers them more and more and often actually places it on their own dish, they may not know what to do. According to their Western custom, they should eat everything that is served. Yet the quantity is so great at a Chinese meal that this is almost impossible. Normally uneaten, and so may try to refuse the hosts offers. When this has little effect and they are still given more, they may feel they have no choice but to eat it all. Indigestion is often the result!It is often helpful for Westerners if a Chinese host understands these differences. Placing serving spoons on the table and giving the guests their own spoon and fork (as well as chopsticks) is often appreciated, especially if a simple comment is made like “You can use your spoon if you prefer”. Then the Westerners can choose to use whichever they prefer. It is also helpful if the host does not place too much food on the guests plates and if they say they have had sufficient food, to accept their comments. Telling the guests where to put items such as bones may also be appreciated. From the Chinese point of view, it may seem that a Western host is not very hospitable. Much less food is provided than at a Chinese dinner, and it may seem that the host has taken relatively little trouble over preparing the meal. Moreover the host does not offer the food very often, and so may appear ungenerous. As a result of all this, Chinese guests may feel unwelcomed. However, this does not mean that Westerners do not really welcome their guests. Perhaps it is simply the differing importance of food in the two cultures that accounts for these differences.1. Which of the following is not the problem or misunderstanding that may occur when the Western guests have a meal with Chinese host together?A. the use of tableware B. how to do with unwanted items such as bonesC. problem relates to the quantity of foodD. the number of people who have a meal together2.
