There are many _1_ between Chinese eating habits and Western eating habits. In the West, everyone has their own plate of food. But in China the dishes are _2_ on the table and
everyone shares. If you are being_3_ by a Chinese host, there must be a lot of food prepared for you. Chinese are very _4_ of their culture and will try their best to show their hospitality (好客).
Sometimes the Chinese host uses their _5_ to put food in your bowl or plate. This is a sign of politeness. The proper thing to do is to eat whatever it is and say how _6_ it is. If you feel uncomfortable with this, you can just say “Thanks” and
leave the food there. Don’t _7_ your chopsticks upright into the rice bowl. Instead, lay them on your dish. The reason for this is that when somebody _8_, the shrine(神龛)to him has a bowl of rice with two chopsticks which are stuck upright in it. It is impolite to _9_ the teapot where the spout(壶嘴) is facing towards somebody. The spout should always be directed to the place where nobody is sitting, usually just outward(向外) from the table.
Don’t hit on your bowl with your chopsticks. Beggars(乞丐) hit on their bowls, so it is not polite. Also, when the food is coming too _10_ in a restaurant, people will tap their bowls. If you are in someone’s home, it is like offending the cook.

Last Friday, for our weekly event, we watched Peking Opera at the Qingdao Grand Theatre. As a young man from the United States, it was my first time to watch live Peking Opera, and it was special.
Peking Opera, also known as Beijing Opera, is called “京剧 (Jingju)” in Chinese. It is a traditional Chinese opera and has a history of over 200 years. It is an art form that combines music, vocal performance, dance and acrobatics(杂技). The works of Peking Opera are mainly based on Chinese history and traditional stories and customs.
The performance we watched that night was called Meeting the Queen and Hitting the Dragon Robe (长袍). The
story is from a Chinese classic literature. Bao Zheng was one of the most well-known ancient Chinese government officials in Chinese history. One day, he met an old lady on his way back home. The old lady claimed herself as the mother of the emperor. After checking that the old lady was the emperor’s mother, Bao Zheng helped her to get back to the capital and she blamed the emperor for all the misery(痛苦) she had suffered. She ordered Bao Zheng to punish the emperor and Bao Zheng
hit the dragon robe instead of hitting the emperor in order to save himself from being punished.
When the opera started, we were amazed by the unique sound made by the musical instruments. They were in perfect cooperation with the singing of the performers. Also, the costumes the performers wore were extremely beautiful and attractive. The performers also “told” the story by their movement. For example, a walk around the stage would mean
they took a long trip somewhere. Even though it was kind of hard for us to get used to the music and to follow the story, we look forward to such an event again. It really helps us know more about Chinese culture.

Culture shock refers to the confusing and nervous feelings a person may have after leaving a familiar culture to live in a new culture. In a new place, you’re sure to face a lot of changes. That can be exciting, but it can also be overwhelming (令人不知所措的).
To understand culture shock, it is helpful to understand what culture is.
Your environment has a big effect on your appearance and behaviour, and culture is a big part of the environment. Culture consists of the common things that you learn from your family, friends, school, and even strangers. These things influence (影响) how you look, act, and communicate.
People from different cultures have grown up with different values and beliefs. What they talk about and how they express themselves may be very different from what you are used to. What might be common in your culture might be unusual in the new culture. As a result, it’s natural to have difficulty getting used to a new culture.
One person’s adjustment (适应) to a new culture is not like another’s. In some situations, people are excited about their move. But some people may feel sad when they move to a new place.
Though people experience culture shock differently, these feelings are common: anxiety, frustration, loneliness and extreme (极度的) homesickness.
These feelings may get you separated from your new surroundings. But the good news is that culture shock doesn’t last long. If you stay calm and learn, your difficulties will pass.
( )16. What is culture in the passage
A. A familiar place where you live in.
B. An action you always do in public.
C. A kind of behaviour you learn from others.
D. A big part of the environment.

B. Different people have different values and beliefs.
C. The environment where you grow up influences you greatly.
D. Not all people have difficulty in the adjustment to a new culture.
A

Last spring, I was lucky to be chosen to join in an exchange study programme. In my application letter, I was careful to express how much I wanted to see France. My excitement really came through my words. When I knew I would go to France to study for a term, all that I could think about was the fun of foreign travel and making all sorts of new and interesting friends.
The moment I arrived in Paris, I was greeted by a nice French couple who would become my host parents. My whole experience was cheerful and exciting until I received some shocking news from my programme coordinator (协调人). One of my host parents’ relatives died. They had to go away for several weeks. That afternoon, I had to move out of one family’s house into another. The exchange coordinator told me
I would have a roommate this time and asked whether I could share a bedroom with an English speaker. To avoid speaking my native language, I asked not to be placed with an English-speaking roommate. When I got to my new room, I introduced myself to my new roommate Paolo, a Brazilian, the same age as I, whom I was surprised to find playing one of my favourite CDs! In just a few hours, we knew we would be good friends for the rest of the term.
I left France with many stories, so when people asked me what my favourite part of the trip was, they were always surprised to hear me talk about my Brazilian friend Paolo. I love how people can seem so different, but end up being so similar. The most valuable lesson I got from studying in France isn’t just to respect the friendly people but to respect all people, for your next best friend could be among them.
