Students around the world also have it. Let’s take a look! China   Military training in China usually teaches students things like standing at attention (立正), goose-stepping (正步走) and folding a quilt (叠被子). Some students say that it is not useful. But some students feel it encourages them to be more independent (独立的). The US   US schools don’t force (强迫) students to take military training. If children are interested in the military, they can attend military camps. These activities help children work as a team and encourage them to work out problems together. For example, a group might have the task of climbing over a high wall. If even one person cannot climb over the wall, the whole group needs to do it again. So everyone must help each other and finish the task together. The UK   The UK pays attention to military training for students, especially college students. There are Officer Training Corps (军官训练员, OTC) in some universities. They help students learn military skills like first aid, weapons (武器) training and radio communications. Students can make money by taking part in military exercises. They can earn up to £60 per day. If they spend a longer time on the training, they will make more money. In my opinion, military training is an important experience for every student. It doesn’t matter if it’s mandatory (强制性的) or voluntary. What really matters is that we learn to be disciplined (遵守纪律的), work as a team, and take on responsibilities (责任). Different countries have different ways, but all of them help us grow into better people. This is why I think military training is really meaningful. Military training 1 Activities Advantages (优点) China • Students learn 2 to stand at attention, do the goose-stepping and fold quilts. It encourages students to 3 on themselves more often. The US • Students finish tasks 4 , such as climbing over a high wall. ·If even one person 5 to climb over the wall, the whole group needs to do it again. It helps students to learn about 6 . The UK • Officer Training Corps often 7 students different skills in some universities. • The 8 they join in the activity, the more money they will earn. It makes students skilled and experienced. Your ideas • I think military training is 9 for all of us. • All the military training can help us 10 better. Passage 2 Falling on March 20 this year, Spring Equinox, also called Chunfen in Chinese, is the fourth of the 24 solar terms. It marks the same length of the day and night. Have you ever wondered about the origin (起源) of this special solar term? It is said that a long time ago, as there was not enough sunlight, it was almost impossible for people to grow crops. One day, Emperor Yandi decided to fly to Penglai Island on a five-coloured bird to search for the sun so that his people could enjoy a better harvest. After a dangerous journey, he brought the sun back and hung it in the sky. From then on, there were plenty of crops on earth and people lived happily and peacefully. This day is called Chunfen. Today, people in different places have different traditions to celebrate Chunfen. Chunfen is the best time to fly kites. The wind for kite flying can’t be too strong or too gentle. The wind on the day of Chunfen perfectly satisfies those needs, so it is easier for kites to go up. It is usually a wonderful time for people, both old and young, to go to the open spaces to fly kites. It is believed that flying kites on Chunfen can drive away bad luck and bring back good luck. Chunfen also means hope and growth, just like the plants. Since ancient times, people have eaten food based on the changes of seasons. In Fujian and Guangdong, people living in villages dig wild vegetables and cook them in soup to clean their stomachs. The meals are also considered as a way to wish for a healthy and strong body. During Chunfen, wheat grows and flowers come out. Leek (韭菜) is delicious and fresh. It’s the best time to cook food with it, although cooking styles are quite different between northern and southern China. When Chunfen comes, remember to have fresh vegetables. Also, don’t say no if you are invited to take part in different activities to enjoy the good weather. 根据短文内容，完成表格。(每空一词) Chunfen An 1 of Chunfen As the 2 of the 24 solar terms, it falls on March 20 this year.

The following facts can bring you more surprises! Dragon dances can date back to the Han dynasty. They were then used in a special activity to show love and respect for ancestors (祖先) and wish for some good things, but they later developed into an entertainment activity. In the Tang and Song dynasties, most people began to celebrate festivals like the Chinese New Year with dragon dances. The dragon dance costume is made up of a large dragon’s head, and a long tail-like body in a number of parts, which are raised on poles. The dragon body, sometimes covered with a huge red cloth, is woven (编织) with pieces of thin bamboo like long and round pipes. The costume is also made of grass, paper and so on. It can be from 2 meters to 100 meters or even over 1,000 meters long. People think that the longer the dragon’s costume is, the more good luck it will bring! As an important part of Chinese culture, Chinese dragons have many good qualities. So people perform (表演) dragon dances in the hope that they will become powerful, lucky and rich. In ancient times, when it was dry for a long time, people performed a dragon dance. And dragon dances after planting crops were also a way to keep them safe from insects. Now, dragon dances are performed during some special events or festivals as a method of driving away evil spirits and welcoming good times. So, the meanings of dragon dances change as time goes by. With the spread of Chinese people and culture all over the world, dragon dances have been brought to every corner of the world. Among the Chinese New Year celebrations, dragon dances are especially attractive. Along with lion dances, they are often the most eye-catching part of the Chinese New Year parades.

Passage 5 完成文后的信息表。 Chinese President Xi Jinping recently replied to a letter from volunteers in a community in Shanghai. They help with garbage sorting. In his reply, Xi said he was happy to know that after recent years of publicity (推广), the volunteers’ community has made new progress in garbage sorting. He also hopes volunteers could encourage more people to develop the habit of sorting garbage. Since 2019, more than 22, 000 garbage stations have been upgraded in Shanghai, according to the Shanghai Observer website. A huge change has taken place in the city in recent years: people once refused to sort garbage, but now they are actively joining in the activity. Garbage sorting has become a “new fashion”. To promote the fashion, the community also makes use of technology in garbage sorting. There are special recycling machines besides the garbage cans. People scan the code on the machine, put in paper or clothes, and then get money from it. “Sorting trash is a way to make the community a better place. It can benefit the residents. For example, house prices may go up,” said Cui Fenglin, 36, a representative of the Shanghai volunteers. He said many people changed their minds after this kind of “persuasion (劝说)” from volunteers. Sixteen-year-old volunteer Yu Yue has made posters and written articles about garbage sorting. “My classmates and I even made an animation (动画) to help people understand how sorting trash can influence the environment.” Yu said. In the future, the community will hold more events and work with local schools to promote a greener lifestyle, said Cui. By 2022, about 297 cities in China had fully implemented (实行) trash sorting, reported CCTV News. The whole country is going to implement trash sorting by the end of 2025, according to a national-level working conference held on May 23.

Passage 7 Museums in China keep up with young people with fresh experience For Liu Ziqi, an eight-year-old museum lover in Beijing, this winter vacation has proved a rather busy one, as she made a to-go list for newly opened exhibitions (展览) in the Chinese capital. During the seven-day Spring Festival holiday starting from Jan.21, museums in Beijing received 1.01 million visits, up 34 percent year on year, according to Beijing Municipal Cultural Heritage Bureau. Like Liu, more and more young people, some not necessarily big fans of museums, choose to spend some of their spare time in a museum. Collaborations (合作) Collaborations between museums and arts organizations help the young people get closer to the relics (文物) by telling the stories behind them. “Harmonious Co-existence,” the first exhibition held jointly by the two museums in recent years is a great example. Including over 400 exhibits, from picture scrolls depicting ancient Chinese legends to copies of philosophical classics, it elaborates on the historical origins of the concepts of “harmony” and “unity” which are rooted in the Chinese culture. Communication “More and more visitors began asking questions,” Bai Xuesong, a professional museum guide at Xi’ an Beilin Museum said, adding that this shows a change in the relationship between guides and visitors-from “teaching” to communication and learning. New technologies including AI and VR also enable museums in China to make a change from simply showing artifacts to actively engaging with (与……建立联系) visitors. “I saw the roof decorations for the Tang Dynasty palace,” said Liu. “It feels like traveling back to the Tang Dynasty. Now I feel closer to history.” Integrations (整合) “For young people, intellectual and cultural activities are becoming an important part of their lives,” said Jin Jiangbo, vice president of the Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts, explaining reasons behind people’s growing interest in museums. Such integrations are changing museums from simply places of public cultural education into places which offer young people public service centers and also meet the needs of those who want to know more about different kinds of culture. The museums are changing their forms to attract more people.

Chen started getting into skateboarding in 2016 and he showed great interest in it. “I remember one day I went to a sports store, and by chance, I saw a skateboard. I decided to give it a try,” Chen told China Youth Daily. It was really hard to stay on the board at first, but Chen found it very interesting. “Every time I did some difficult skills, I felt the joy of making breakthroughs (突破),” said Chen. Gradually, Chen needed a better skatepark (滑板场) for training. To meet the need, his father decided to make a skate bowl himself. “He would work on it late into the night, sometimes until three or four in the morning,” said Chen. “I’m really thankful for my father’s support.” As a junior high school student, Chen needs to find a balance (平衡) between his study and skateboarding.

He graduated from the Southwest Agricultural (农业) University in 1953. He came up with an idea for a hybrid rice in the 1960s. Since then, he has devoted himself to research and to the development of new varieties. In 1973, together with other people, he succeeded in the development of hybrid rice. This made China a worldwide leader in rice production (生产). In 1980, the technology (技术) for hybrid rice was introduced to the United States. Now his “super rice” has been introduced to more than 20 other countries. Because of Professor Yuan’s hard work, China now produces enough rice to feed her people every year. Last November an online survey showed that most Chinese believed that Yuan deserved (应得) a Nobel Peace Prize. In his spare time, Yuan Longping loves playing the violin and listening to music. Every night, he reads for half an hour before he goes to sleep. He likes swimming, too. It is said that Professor Yuan is one of the richest people in China.

Passage 11 阅读下面一段短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，每个空格只填一个单词。 The puppet (木偶) play has a history of thousands of years and it is liked by many Chinese people. Puppets are usually dressed in traditional costumes. They can do many movements, such as dancing with long sleeves and practising writing. Such puppets are from the hands of puppet makers like Wang Maowei, who is from Xiaoyi, Shanxi province. Wang Maowei, a 40-year-old artist, is good at making stick puppets. “I fell in love with puppet-making as a teenager and decided to make it a lifelong career,” he says. Recently, Wang has noticed that today’s people don’t want to sit for more than two hours watching a puppet play as people did before. He realizes that it is important to keep up with the times and be creative to make the puppets better. With his hard work, the puppets gain new life. Traditionally, stick puppets are made of wood and they are heavy to hold. Wang uses newspapers and a kind of cardboard to make the puppets lighter. Therefore, the puppets can be controlled more easily. The noses, eyes and mouths of the puppets can move more quickly now. In the past, homemade pigments (颜料) such as charcoal are used to decorate the puppets. Nowadays, puppet makers can use lots of paints to ensure the colourful “make-up” of the puppets. After these improvements, the well-designed puppets can not only do movements, but also perform bianlian or face-changing, a traditional Chinese opera trick. It is the balance of traditional puppet-making and modern art. “It costs time and energy to make a good puppet. However, all efforts pay off when I see how much the people love the new puppet play.” he says.

Passage 12 The farming TV program Believe in the Land has been winning the hearts of its young fans. It has got over 30 thousand comments (评论) on Douban and has got 8.9 points out of 10. In the show, 10 young people get together as a team. They work hard for 190 days on a 9.5-hectare farm to grow 25,000 kilograms of crops. This is China’s first show about farming. It’s a new way for Chinese variety shows (综艺节目). Before this, the British farming show Clarkson’s Farm was popular among Chinese audience. Clarkson, a rich man with no farming experience (经验), ran his farm with funny and changing ideas. It made people laugh and showed the challenges of farming. Believe in the Land shares something similar by showing the farming experiences of 10 young people. Some other “slow TV programs” also show famous stars living in the countryside. But Believe in the Land stands out as it shows not only the beauty of country life, but also the hard work behind it. The young people started from very beginning to make their own tools and furniture. They lived in a small, old house near the fields, wore dirty clothes in the mud and worked from sunrise to sunset. “Although the young people couldn’t do it perfectly, their experience of working in the muddy fields day and night is moving,” wrote an Internet user on Douban. “Watching their hard work makes me understand the saying ‘No pains, no gains’ more than ever,” another fan wrote on Sina Weibo.

Passage 13 阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，每个空格只填一个单词。 The drum has existed (存在) in Chinese civilization for thousands of years and has a deep spiritual meaning which is more than a kind of musical instrument (乐器). Confucius regarded the “Drum Dance” highly. It is also the origin of the Chinese phrase “guwu” which means “embolden” (大胆) in English. The drum was mentioned in Chinese history in the Pottery Age. The Zhou dynasty set up the drum music institution (机构) that was responsible (负责的) for the management (管理) of officers known as “drum men” and developed a complete drum music system. From then on, drums came to be used in ancient Chinese practices such as sacrifice (祭祀) , military (军事) , labor (劳动) and other activities. In ancient (古代的) China, agriculture was the main form of production and drums were considered indispensable (不可或缺的) for a good harvest. Since the sound of drums echoes that of thunder, it was believed that playing drums could attract rain. So the instrument was used to pray for good weather and to “communicate” with them. Drums also played a part in the war. Because of a strong resonance effect (共振作用), the drum’s sound could go very far while increasing fear in the heart of the enemies. So the drum was used as a military booster (激励) for a long time. In the Tang and Song dynasties, the society was developing fast and drums were widely used. The national band, drama, folk art, song and dance, boat racing, lion dance, festival gathering and labor competition were all together with the beats of drums. The sound of drums became synonymous (同义的) with celebrations, filling hearts with joy. Different types of Chinese drums exist today. For example, “Taiping Drum” is used to express hope for peace and prosperity while “Ansai Waist Drum” is meant to show the spirit of the Loess Plateau (黄土高原) and the heroic character of farmers in Northwest China. Kaifeng has “Pan Drum”, and Luochuan of Shaanxi Province is known for its “Bie Drum”.

Even so, in this passage we bring you several Chinese customs and traditions that you should know. Here we go! Chinese usually do not show their feelings openly, also avoiding any unnecessary body touch. The Chinese see badly that people kiss each other on the face, even if they are women. In fact, shaking hands was also not so acceptable in the past. For them it is enough to make a small nod when greeting. As the country gradually (逐渐地) lets Western traditions in, people are used to shaking hands to greet. Many food manners must be followed strictly at meals. Some details should be paid much attention to by both guests and hosts. In China, the older guests are always seated first, and then others can take their seats. Food manners are also very important. You should never serve yourself a drink. It should be served by someone else. Chopsticks should never be placed upwards in food. And to eat, never put your mouth away from your own bowl. The Chinese have the habit and skill of being able to sleep anywhere at any time. It doesn’t matter if it’s on the break from work, in the middle of the street or waiting in a supermarket. This Chinese custom has nothing to do with laziness, quite the opposite. In China, sleeping for a short time in public places is considered a symbol of effort. For example, thousands and millions of netizens (网民) will give a photo of a sleeping doctor in the corner of the operating room a “like” to show their respect to the doctor. So, this person has been putting a lot of effort into his work and it is right that he should sleep as he likes. Many of you have already known it’s polite not to open gifts in public. But that’s not the only important thing to know when receiving gifts in China. For example, the Chinese will always refuse your gift up to three times to show they are well educated. But in the end, they’re willing to accept it. And remember not to receive the gift with only one hand. Chinese Customs and Traditions Not showing their feelings openly There’s no 1 to have body touch while greeting. ◆People dislike kissing on each other’s faces. ◆Shaking hands is gradually 2 because of the influence of Western traditions. 3 food manners strictly It makes sure guests and hosts feel comfortable at table. ◆Older guests get seated first. ◆Don’t serve yourself a drink. It should be served by someone else 4 . ◆Don’t place chopsticks upwards. ◆Keep your mouth 5 to your own bowl. Sleeping carelessly It has something to do with effort. ◆It’s not 6 to see Chinese sleeping in some public places, like offices, streets, supermarkets and so on. ◆A photo of a sleeping doctor in the corner of the operating room 7 quickly and wildly online. The sleeping doctor is considered to have the right because he is too tired at work.

Students around the world also have it. Let’s take a look! China   Military training in China usually teaches students things like standing at attention (立正), goose-stepping (正步走) and folding a quilt (叠被子). Some students say that it is not useful. But some students feel it encourages them to be more independent (独立的). The US   US schools don’t force (强迫) students to take military training. If children are interested in the military, they can attend military camps. These activities help children work as a team and encourage them to work out problems together. For example, a group might have the task of climbing over a high wall. If even one person cannot climb over the wall, the whole group needs to do it again. So everyone must help each other and finish the task together. The UK   The UK pays attention to military training for students, especially college students. There are Officer Training Corps (军官训练员, OTC) in some universities. They help students learn military skills like first aid, weapons (武器) training and radio communications. Students can make money by taking part in military exercises. They can earn up to £60 per day. If they spend a longer time on the training, they will make more money. In my opinion, military training is an important experience for every student. It doesn’t matter if it’s mandatory (强制性的) or voluntary. What really matters is that we learn to be disciplined (遵守纪律的), work as a team, and take on responsibilities (责任). Different countries have different ways, but all of them help us grow into better people. This is why I think military training is really meaningful. Military training 1 Activities Advantages (优点) China • Students learn 2 to stand at attention, do the goose-stepping and fold quilts. It encourages students to 3 on themselves more often.

It marks the same length of the day and night. Have you ever wondered about the origin (起源) of this special solar term? It is said that a long time ago, as there was not enough sunlight, it was almost impossible for people to grow crops. One day, Emperor Yandi decided to fly to Penglai Island on a five-coloured bird to search for the sun so that his people could enjoy a better harvest. After a dangerous journey, he brought the sun back and hung it in the sky. From then on, there were plenty of crops on earth and people lived happily and peacefully. This day is called Chunfen. Today, people in different places have different traditions to celebrate Chunfen. Chunfen is the best time to fly kites. The wind for kite flying can’t be too strong or too gentle. The wind on the day of Chunfen perfectly satisfies those needs, so it is easier for kites to go up. It is usually a wonderful time for people, both old and young, to go to the open spaces to fly kites. It is believed that flying kites on Chunfen can drive away bad luck and bring back good luck. Chunfen also means hope and growth, just like the plants. Since ancient times, people have eaten food based on the changes of seasons. In Fujian and Guangdong, people living in villages dig wild vegetables and cook them in soup to clean their stomachs. The meals are also considered as a way to wish for a healthy and strong body. During Chunfen, wheat grows and flowers come out. Leek (韭菜) is delicious and fresh. It’s the best time to cook food with it, although cooking styles are quite different between northern and southern China. When Chunfen comes, remember to have fresh vegetables.

They have become a symbol (标志) of Chinese culture. The following facts can bring you more surprises! Dragon dances can date back to the Han dynasty. They were then used in a special activity to show love and respect for ancestors (祖先) and wish for some good things, but they later developed into an entertainment activity. In the Tang and Song dynasties, most people began to celebrate festivals like the Chinese New Year with dragon dances. The dragon dance costume is made up of a large dragon’s head, and a long tail-like body in a number of parts, which are raised on poles. The dragon body, sometimes covered with a huge red cloth, is woven (编织) with pieces of thin bamboo like long and round pipes. The costume is also made of grass, paper and so on. It can be from 2 meters to 100 meters or even over 1,000 meters long. People think that the longer the dragon’s costume is, the more good luck it will bring! As an important part of Chinese culture, Chinese dragons have many good qualities. So people perform (表演) dragon dances in the hope that they will become powerful, lucky and rich. In ancient times, when it was dry for a long time, people performed a dragon dance. And dragon dances after planting crops were also a way to keep them safe from insects. Now, dragon dances are performed during some special events or festivals as a method of driving away evil spirits and welcoming good times. So, the meanings of dragon dances change as time goes by. With the spread of Chinese people and culture all over the world, dragon dances have been brought to every corner of the world. Among the Chinese New Year celebrations, dragon dances are especially attractive. Along with lion dances, they are often the most eye-catching part of the Chinese New Year parades.

They help with garbage sorting. In his reply, Xi said he was happy to know that after recent years of publicity (推广), the volunteers’ community has made new progress in garbage sorting. He also hopes volunteers could encourage more people to develop the habit of sorting garbage. Since 2019, more than 22, 000 garbage stations have been upgraded in Shanghai, according to the Shanghai Observer website. A huge change has taken place in the city in recent years: people once refused to sort garbage, but now they are actively joining in the activity. Garbage sorting has become a “new fashion”. To promote the fashion, the community also makes use of technology in garbage sorting. There are special recycling machines besides the garbage cans. People scan the code on the machine, put in paper or clothes, and then get money from it. “Sorting trash is a way to make the community a better place. It can benefit the residents. For example, house prices may go up,” said Cui Fenglin, 36, a representative of the Shanghai volunteers. He said many people changed their minds after this kind of “persuasion (劝说)” from volunteers. Sixteen-year-old volunteer Yu Yue has made posters and written articles about garbage sorting. “My classmates and I even made an animation (动画) to help people understand how sorting trash can influence the environment.” Yu said. In the future, the community will hold more events and work with local schools to promote a greener lifestyle, said Cui. By 2022, about 297 cities in China had fully implemented (实行) trash sorting, reported CCTV News. The whole country is going to implement trash sorting by the end of 2025, according to a national-level working conference held on May 23.

During the seven-day Spring Festival holiday starting from Jan.21, museums in Beijing received 1.01 million visits, up 34 percent year on year, according to Beijing Municipal Cultural Heritage Bureau. Like Liu, more and more young people, some not necessarily big fans of museums, choose to spend some of their spare time in a museum. Collaborations (合作) Collaborations between museums and arts organizations help the young people get closer to the relics (文物) by telling the stories behind them. “Harmonious Co-existence,” the first exhibition held jointly by the two museums in recent years is a great example. Including over 400 exhibits, from picture scrolls depicting ancient Chinese legends to copies of philosophical classics, it elaborates on the historical origins of the concepts of “harmony” and “unity” which are rooted in the Chinese culture. Communication “More and more visitors began asking questions,” Bai Xuesong, a professional museum guide at Xi’ an Beilin Museum said, adding that this shows a change in the relationship between guides and visitors-from “teaching” to communication and learning.

Puppets are usually dressed in traditional costumes. They can do many movements, such as dancing with long sleeves and practising writing. Such puppets are from the hands of puppet makers like Wang Maowei, who is from Xiaoyi, Shanxi province. Wang Maowei, a 40-year-old artist, is good at making stick puppets. “I fell in love with puppet-making as a teenager and decided to make it a lifelong career,” he says. Recently, Wang has noticed that today’s people don’t want to sit for more than two hours watching a puppet play as people did before. He realizes that it is important to keep up with the times and be creative to make the puppets better. With his hard work, the puppets gain new life. Traditionally, stick puppets are made of wood and they are heavy to hold. Wang uses newspapers and a kind of cardboard to make the puppets lighter. Therefore, the puppets can be controlled more easily. The noses, eyes and mouths of the puppets can move more quickly now. In the past, homemade pigments (颜料) such as charcoal are used to decorate the puppets. Nowadays, puppet makers can use lots of paints to ensure the colourful “make-up” of the puppets. After these improvements, the well-designed puppets can not only do movements, but also perform bianlian or face-changing, a traditional Chinese opera trick. It is the balance of traditional puppet-making and modern art. “It costs time and energy to make a good puppet. However, all efforts pay off when I see how much the people love the new puppet play.” he says.

Confucius regarded the “Drum Dance” highly. It is also the origin of the Chinese phrase “guwu” which means “embolden” (大胆) in English. The drum was mentioned in Chinese history in the Pottery Age. The Zhou dynasty set up the drum music institution (机构) that was responsible (负责的) for the management (管理) of officers known as “drum men” and developed a complete drum music system. From then on, drums came to be used in ancient Chinese practices such as sacrifice (祭祀) , military (军事) , labor (劳动) and other activities. In ancient (古代的) China, agriculture was the main form of production and drums were considered indispensable (不可或缺的) for a good harvest. Since the sound of drums echoes that of thunder, it was believed that playing drums could attract rain. So the instrument was used to pray for good weather and to “communicate” with them. Drums also played a part in the war. Because of a strong resonance effect (共振作用), the drum’s sound could go very far while increasing fear in the heart of the enemies. So the drum was used as a military booster (激励) for a long time. In the Tang and Song dynasties, the society was developing fast and drums were widely used. The national band, drama, folk art, song and dance, boat racing, lion dance, festival gathering and labor competition were all together with the beats of drums. The sound of drums became synonymous (同义的) with celebrations, filling hearts with joy. Different types of Chinese drums exist today. For example, “Taiping Drum” is used to express hope for peace and prosperity while “Ansai Waist Drum” is meant to show the spirit of the Loess Plateau (黄土高原) and the heroic character of farmers in Northwest China. Kaifeng has “Pan Drum”, and Luochuan of Shaanxi Province is known for its “Bie Drum”. There are also some cheerful and time-honored drum dances such as “Fengyang Flower Drum” in Anhui Province and “Fishing Basketball Drum” in Jiangsu Province. In a word, drum culture reflects (反映) the stability (安定) and prosperity (繁荣) of Chinese society. For thousands of years, Chinese people have always been expecting peace and satisfaction.

Even so, in this passage we bring you several Chinese customs and traditions that you should know. Here we go! Chinese usually do not show their feelings openly, also avoiding any unnecessary body touch. The Chinese see badly that people kiss each other on the face, even if they are women. In fact, shaking hands was also not so acceptable in the past. For them it is enough to make a small nod when greeting. As the country gradually (逐渐地) lets Western traditions in, people are used to shaking hands to greet. Many food manners must be followed strictly at meals. Some details should be paid much attention to by both guests and hosts. In China, the older guests are always seated first, and then others can take their seats. Food manners are also very important. You should never serve yourself a drink. It should be served by someone else. Chopsticks should never be placed upwards in food. And to eat, never put your mouth away from your own bowl. The Chinese have the habit and skill of being able to sleep anywhere at any time. It doesn’t matter if it’s on the break from work, in the middle of the street or waiting in a supermarket. This Chinese custom has nothing to do with laziness, quite the opposite. In China, sleeping for a short time in public places is considered a symbol of effort. For example, thousands and millions of netizens (网民) will give a photo of a sleeping doctor in the corner of the operating room a “like” to show their respect to the doctor. So, this person has been putting a lot of effort into his work and it is right that he should sleep as he likes. Many of you have already known it’s polite not to open gifts in public. But that’s not the only important thing to know when receiving gifts in China. For example, the Chinese will always refuse your gift up to three times to show they are well educated.
