Eating and drinking in China can be an enjoyable cultural experience. However, there are likely to be many surprises along the way. We would like to prepare you for, and even warn you of, the main differences between eating and drinking in China and in the West.
Be prepared for your Chinese host placing food in your bowl, usually without even asking. The host will often put chicken legs or other parts of the meal in the guest’s bowl. Though Westerners may see this as interfering(干涉) with one’s independence and personal space, it is a sign of hospitality(好客) in China.
Though in the West it is sometimes considered rude to put one’s elbows on the dining table, this is quite acceptable in China, especially when eating noodles. However, you may want to avoid this in some restaurants. Using your own antiseptic wipes(消毒湿巾) may help to put your mind at ease in some situations.
In China it is also common practice to spit things out on the table or the floor. However, in more upper-market restaurants in China or in the West, people usually use one of the methods below rather than spitting. Using chopsticks, forks, or tissues(餐巾纸) is a polite way around the problem. You might want to ask for a side plate or an extra bowl for the bones(骨头), etc. Be warned if seeing piles of things that came out of someone’s mouth may put you off your food. You may want to order dishes with no bones.
We realize Westerners usually come to China to experience things you don’t have at home. Our customers usually want to eat different things. If you want to enjoy Chinese food and experience the eating and drinking in China, see our recommended(被推荐的) China tours.
24. What can we infer from the paragraph 2-3
A. Chinese hosts want to interfere with your personal space when they place food in your bowls.
B. It’s a sign of hospitality when the host put a chicken leg in your bowl.
C. Westerners usually put their elbows on the table.
25. What does the underlined word “spit” in paragraph 4 mean
A. 扔掉 B. 收拾 C. 吐出
26. Which one is more unacceptable for westerners when eating something with bones
A. Asking for a side plate. B. Spitting on the ground. C. Using tissues.
27. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Westerns want to enjoy eating and drinking in China.
B. There are many surprises in China.
C. Major different table manners between China and Western countries.
C
Education is not just about going to school. It’s also about what you learn and experience outside of school. So family and community play a great role.
In January, 13 agencies(部门) — including the Ministry of Education — released a guideline to improve the school-family-community cooperative education mechanism(学校家庭社会协同育人机制). It clarifies the roles and responsibilities of school, family and community and how they work together to educate children.
“The goal of the guideline is to give full play to the advantages of each party and promote the
all-round development of students.” Zhang Zhiyong, a professor at Beijing Normal University, told
China Education Daily.
According to the guideline, schools play a leading role in cooperative education. They should keep close contact with parents. Paying a home visit and offering family education guidance regularly are made a must. Parents should play a role in family education. Besides traditional education, they are encouraged to lead their kids to take part in activities like volunteering and doing sports. The community is expected to provide support and service to students. All kinds of education bases and museums, for example, should be free or preferential(优惠的) to students.
Gao Wei, 43, a mother of a 14-year-old from Beijing, is excited about the guideline. “Strengthening(加强) the connection between the school and parents is not a new thing. But the guideline tells us how to make it happen,” she said. “Another good point is that it asks the community to open more social resources to students. Nowadays, many students only focus on studying. With such support, they can learn more from real life.”
28. What is the purpose of the guideline
A. To reduce the burden on students from homework.
B. To promote the all-round development of students.
C. To benefit children’s healthy growth.
29. According to the guideline, parents should be responsible for _______.
A. family education B. contacting teachers C. home visits
30. Gao Wei probably agrees that _______.
A. the guideline overturns(颠覆) the traditional way of education
B. the responsibility of school and community doesn’t overlap(重叠)
C. the guideline helps students learn more by getting more social resources
31. You may read the passage in a _______.
A. magazine B. science fiction C. storybook

Everyone procrastinates(拖延) because they want to feel good now. 32. __________________. You can procrastinate on nearly anything, even enjoyable tasks such as planning a vacation. “Some people procrastinate cleaning. Some people procrastinate by cleaning,” says Professor Peter Stone.

But researchers disagree. “I did a study several years ago, asking procrastinators to finish a task in a certain period of time,” says Stone. “They did worse than non-procrastinators (people who don’t procrastinate): they made more mistakes, and they took longer. 34. __________________.” No matter what the cause is, procrastination is not going to be good for you.
