完形填空

       There are many differences between Chinese eating habits and Western eating habits. In the West ， everyone has their own  1 of food. But in China the dishes are 2 on the table and everyone shares. If you are being treated by a Chinese host ， there must be  3   food prepared for you. Chinese are very  4   of their culture and will do their best to show their hospitality （好客） .

       And 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 would be to eat the whatever-it-is and say how  6   it is. If you feel uncomfortable with this ， you can just say a polite “ Thanks ” and leave the food there. Don’t  7   your chopsticks upright into the rice bowl. Instead ， lay （放置） them on your dish. The reason for this is that when somebody  8 ， the shrine （神祠） to them has a bowl of sand or rice with two chopsticks which are stuck upright in it. It is impolite to set the teapot down where the spout （壶嘴） is facing  9   somebody. The spout should always be directed to 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 this 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.
