(A)
Chinese table manners are a beautiful part of our rich eating culture. When enjoying delicious food in a Chinese meal, it's about showing respect and sharing happiness together.
First come, seating arrangements(安排).The most honoured seat is usually on the left
side,facing east toward the door. This special seat is for the most important guest or the eldest person. Seats closest to this position are also good, showing respect. The least important seat is where waiters serve dishes-often for younger people or helpers.
Ordering dishes is like an art! If you're hosting, always ask others what they'd like to eat. A good host orders more dishes than the number of guests to show generosity(慷慨大方).If you're a guest, it's polite to choose one simple, popular dish like fried rice or sweet and sour pork, rather than expensive seafood. Remember to thank your host when the dishes arrive!
How should we act during the meal? Use chopsticks gently—never point them at people or play with them. Take food quietly without making noise. Never talk with the mouth full,When using toothpicks, cover your mouth with your hand. Sharing food shows kindness, but always use serving spoons for shared plates, not your personal chopsticks. Before leaving,thank the host again for the wonderful meal.
These table manners show respect to elders, make guests feel welcome, and create a warm environment.

Eating Noodles Aloud!
Japan is a nation that values good manners and the qualities of being quiet. Yet, when it comes to eating noodles, Japanese people can be the loudest in the world.
According to lifestyle website Grapee.jp,slurping(发出喷啧声)when eating noodles is encouraged in Japanese culture. It's believed that taking air into your mouth can help the noodles cool down and taste better. It's also considered to be a way to show one's enjoyment of the dish. Sometimes, just making the noise alone seems to make the noodles more enjoyable.
It was not until a new expression- “noodle harassment(骚扰)”-came out on social media that Japanese people started to realize the problem. They found that the slurping noise was making some foreign visitors uncomfortable.
As a response, Japanese instant noodle maker Nissin introduced a so-called noise-cancelling fork. The fork looks like an electric toothbrush. It is connected wirelessly(无线地)to a smartphone. When the person using the fork starts to slurp, the fork will send a signal to the person's phone. Then the phone will play a more pleasant sound over the slurping noise.
But is it really necessary? Dining traditions and table manners do vary. In India, people eat with their hands. They think they build a connection with the food in this way. However,people who are used to eating with forks might find it unacceptable to get their hands covered in oil or sauce. But this eating method is part of India's culture, just like Japan's slurping is part of its own.
“So,if you are eating noodles, please slurp," wrote a Japanese food blogger(博主).“If anyone is unhappy with you doing that, just ignore them. They're totally missing the point.”阅读短文,回答下面的问题。
1. Why do Japanese slurp when they are having noodles?
2. When did Japanese people find that the slurping noise was making some foreign visitors uncomfortable?
3. How can the electric fork cancel out the slurping noise?
4. It is encouraged in Indian culture to eat with forks, isn't it?
5. What does the underlined phrase "missing the point" in the last sentence mean?
