A. 回答问题
请阅读下面短文,根据所提供的信息,回答5个问题。要求所写答案语法正确、语义完整切题。
Do you know how to eat politely in China? Today I will show you some table manners in China.
Seating
On arrival, you should first introduce yourself or let the host do the introduction. You should take a seat according to the host’s arrangement (安排). If the elder guest is not seated, other people are not supposed to be seated.
Eating
When eating a meal in China, you are expected to pay attention to table manners and have good dining habits. In order to avoid making mistakes, you are supposed to pay attention to the following points.
Let older people eat first. Or if you hear an elder say “Let’s eat”, you can start to eat. You should not steal a march on (抢先) the elders.
You should pick up your bowl with your five fingers. If you don’t pick up your bowl or eat facing your bowl, it will be regarded as bad table manners.
It is not good manners to pick up too much food at a time. While eating, don’t make noises. It is best not to talk with others with your mouth full. If you need to talk, you should speak little and quietly.
Considering Others
When helping yourself to the dishes, you should take food first from the plates in front of you. It’s bad manners to use your chopsticks to burrow through (拨开) the food and “dig for treasure”.

Dear Mr. Brown,
New Year’s Day is coming soon! Our school will organize a “Welcome the New Year” Chinese dinner next Friday evening, and I’m writing to invite you.
Here’re some Chinese dining customs. First, please arrive on time because we’ll start the meal together. Then, use chopsticks, as it is traditional in Chinese culture. Finally, feel free to try the dishes, but you’re not supposed to finish all the food on the table because it’s a sign of respect to leave some for others.
We really hope that you can attend and enjoy the dinner.
Yours,
Li Hua
