While in the chemistry lab, do as I say, please. 在化学实验室, 请按照我说的去做。
2. No one will be cross. 没有人会生气的。
这里cross是形容词, 表示“生气的”。
例如:

那个小孩儿的球打破了老太太的窗户, 她很生气。
All right, you two, don’t get cross with each other.好了, 你们两个不要互相怨气了。
我们还学过cross用作动词,表示“横穿, 穿过, 交叉”。例如:
It took them two months to cross the desert.
3. However, there is some food which can be eaten with your fingers, such as ... 然而, 有的食物可以用手指吃, 例如……

Just enjoy your Chinese meal. You’ll never forget it!Sample version:When in China, do as the Chinese do!
Meals in China are different in some way to 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. What is usually said during the meals?
At the start of a meal, the Chinese usually say “manman 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 jiao dian, zen me yang?” If the guests have had enough, he can say, “bu yong le, wo chi bao le,” in English, “No, thanks, if 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.
