Chincse peoplc behave politely on any formal occasion, whether it is a wedding ceremony, a celebration party, or a banquet(宴席). The following basic Chinese table manners will help you generally master Chinese dinner manners One clear difference between Western and Eastern dining habits is portion(一份) size While meals in Western restaurants are sized for individuals(个人), dishes offered in Chincse restaurants are mcant to be shared. As such, food either comcs in bite-sized pieces, or is prepared in a way that makes it easy to portion(分配) while being served to you on large plates. As meals are shared. one may care about the degree of sanitation(EE). It's common to find communal chopsticks(公筷) placed with each dish. It is good manners to use the communal utensils in a public setting You may also notice that tables, especially those in larger dining rooms, are round and have a lazy Susan (more commonly known as "that rotating(旋转 的) table on top of your table"). Besides efficiency(效率) purposes, circular tables stand for important meaning in Chinese culture. It means unity(团结) and prescnts dining as an event where family members get together. Before you spin the turntable to get to that delicious piece of duck. make sure that no one else is reaching for food! It's impolite to spin the table just as someone is trying to pick up some food. As mentioned above, Chinese restaurants often use round tables. In Western cultures the host or the eldest family member often sits at the head of a long table. But what happens when the table is round? As a round table, the seat of honor(首位) is the one facing the door. The closer you are sitting next to that seat, the more important you are. In a setting where there is no doorway-outdoor dining, for example-the seat of honor would be the one facing east. In a banquet environment, the table of honor is usually the one sitting farthest away from the door. 初二英语试卷 第6页共10页 CS扫描全能王 a亿人在用的扫描A The time at which the dining begins depends on the presence of party members. The suitable time to dig in is after thc gucst of honor, or thc cldest mcmber of the group, is seated and has begun thcir meal. Somctimes they will mean the start of a meal, by saying" 吃吧"which means "Pleasc eat". 57. What should we do if we have meals in a public setting? A. Bring your own chopsticks from home B. Use communal chopsticks to get food. C. Use your own chopsticks to share food D. Share the food with others' chopsticks. 58. What does the underlined word "spin" in the passage mean? A. tum something around B. pull something nearer C. pick something up D. move something away 59. What is the mainly idea of Paragraph 二? A. Why the table is round? B. How can you find a seat? C. Which is the honor seat? D. Who is the most important? 60. How does the writer organize the article? A. In time order. B. From specific to general. C tn space order D.
