2. Read the passage and answer the questions.
Do as the Romans do
We often say, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” So when you eat Western food, do as Westerners do. Here are some things that you may need to know about eating together in the West.
In some Western countries, lunch is usually eaten at about 1 pm. Dinner is served around
7 pm or even later. In Spain it is usual to have lunch at 3 pm and dinner at 10 pm!
At the start of a meal, the French say “Bon appétit”, and the Italians say “Buon appetito”. But there is nothing similar to say in English. “Enjoy your meal” is usually only said by the person who brings the food.
Knives and forks are used for most Western food. The fork is held in your left hand and the
knife in your right, and the food is held with the fork and cut with the knife. Soup is eaten with a spoon. However, there is some food which you can eat with your fingers, such as chicken wings and hamburgers.
During the meal, you may be invited to serve yourself (usually the ladies before the gentlemen) by someone who says, “Help yourself.” Or you will be served by someone who asks, “Would you like some… ” You can take it and say,
“Thank you.” If you are given something you do not like, you can just say, for example, “I’m sorry. I don’t eat meat”, or “I don’t eat fish”. No one will be cross. If you are offered more food but cannot eat any more, just say, “No, thanks. It was delicious, but I’ve had enough.”
Remember that it is polite to say that you enjoy every dish when it is served, and that you have enjoyed the food at the end of a meal.
It is sometimes difficult to know when the meal is over. If you are invited to dinner by Western friends, you will be expected to stay and talk around the dinner table long after the last dish is served, and it is not polite if you leave as soon as you finish eating.
The rule is: Watch the other people. Do as they do.
Now answer the questions.
Who is the passage written for
For visitors to Western countries from another part of the world.

say you have enjoyed the food; stay and talk around the dinner table.
4. Answer the questions.
1. “So when you eat Western food, do as
Westerners do.” So what should you do
2. “At the start of a meal, the French say ‘Bon
appétit’.” What do you say at the start of a
Chinese meal
We should watch what other people do and copy them.
We say “Chi ba” at the start of normal meals and “Da jia chi hao!” at the start of more formal meals.
3. “I’m sorry. I don’t eat meat.” When might
you want to say this
4 “No, thanks. It was delicious, but I’ve had enough.”
Do you mean you do not like the food
5. “It is sometimes difficult to know when the
meal is over.” How do you know that a meal
is over in China
I might say this if I am offered something I don’t like.
No, it means “I like the food but I’m full.”
In China a meal is usually over when the food is finished.

当定语从句所修饰的名词或代词(先行词)指物并且该名词或代词在定语从句中充当主语或宾语时,应该用that / which代替先行词引导定语从句,当that / which在定语从句中充当宾语时可以省略。如:

Sample version:
Meals in China are different in some ways from meals in the West. Here are some tips for you when you visit China.
What time are meals served
Chinese meals are usually served at certain times. Breakfast is usually served around 7:00 am, lunch, 12:00, dinner, 7:00 pm. If you miss the time, maybe nothing will be left to eat.
When in China, do as the Chinese do!
What is usually said during the meals
At the start of a meal, the Chinese usually say “man man chi.” When a new dish is served, guests are usually asked to eat it first and show their feelings so Chinese usually say “zen me yang hao chi ma ” At the end of the meals, they usually say “zhen hao chi! wo chi bao le!”
How do Chinese eat food
Chopsticks are usually used in China. Soup is drunk with a spoon or sometimes Chinese people take the bowl to soup to the south and drink directly without using a spoon but it is sometimes considered rude.
What does the host in China usually do
The host usually tries to fill more food or drink for the guests, because they are afraid that the guests can’t have enough.
So she usually say, “zai jia dian, zen me yang ” If the guests have had enough, he can say, “bu yong le, wo chi bao le,” which in English is “No, thanks, it was delicious, but I’ve had enough.” If the guests don’t like the food, they can wave their hands and say, “bu yong le, wo bu neng chi zhe ge”, in English, “I’m sorry, I can’t eat this.”
Chinese people are polite and kind, so don’t worry if you make mistakes, because they won’t get angry with you but they will forgive you.
