      The customs in different countries are rather different. If I have dinner with a Chinese host, he always

puts more food onto my plates as soon as I have emptied it. That often discomforts me greatly. I have to eat

the food even if I don't want to, because it is considered (认为) bad manners in the West to leave one's food

on the plate. I have already noticed that when a Chinese sits at an American's dinner party, he very often

refuses (拒绝) the offer of food or drink though he is in fact still hungry or thirsty. This might be good

manners in China, but it is not in the West at all. In the United States, it is impolite to keep asking someone

again and again or insist on his accepting something. Americans have a direct (直接的) way of speaking. If

they want something, they will ask for it. If not, they will say, "No, thanks." When an American

dislikes the beer served by the host, for example, he might say, "No, thanks. I'll take some diet Coca-Cola

(可口可乐) if you have it." That is what an American will do. So when you go to the United States, you

had better remember the famous saying: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

1. From the passage, we can know that the Chinese are usually _______ to the guests. [ ]

A. very hot

2. When a foreigner has dinner with a Chinese host, he often feels_______. [ ]

4. When an American wants something to eat or drink at a dinner, he will _______. [ ]

A. ask for it through others

B. refuse the offer

D. express himself indirectly (间接地)

5. "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" means "_______". [ ]

Another small animal that tigers eat in Ranthambhore (a wildlife park in northern India) is the porcupine (豪猪).These animals are spread widely across India in open areas and grasslands; they often live in the earth and between rocks.They are good diggers, and in Ranthambhore are nocturnal (夜出的); they only come out at night.They weigh 12 to 16 kilograms and reach the length of 80 to 90 centimetres.They live usually on vegetables and fruit and seem to have a good sense of smell.Porcupines defend themselves when attacked by moving backwards with their quills upright, often making a strange noise.

Several times, I have found the remains of quills where a tiger has killed and eaten a porcupine, but I have never actually seen the kill.In spite of the quills, experienced tigers will try to kill clearly by biting the porcupine’s head, its weakest spot.But the quills are very sharp and can give painful injuries to young tigers.If the quills have gone in very deeply or if they are stuck in the tiger’s paw, it will try to pull them out.Often, it will be successful, and the wound will get better.But, if the quills have gone in very deeply or if they are stuck in the tiger’s neck or mouth, where they cannot be reached, the wound will often turn bad.If this happens, the tiger is in pain and is less able to hunt animals.It has to look for easier prey and so may turn to cows on the edges of the forest.From this, it is a small step to becoming a man-eater.
