And western hosts sometimes look rude (粗鲁的) in the eyes of Chinese guests. It is because the guest-host relationship in China is quite different from that in some western countries.  In China, guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese friend’s home, there is always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west, generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the host’s way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest. My wife’s mother, a very kind Chinese lady, doesn’t smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her house, as a non-smoker, I feel unhappy. Usually, I want to stop them directly, but I must realize that in China, to be a good host, she must not do that.

At the very least, you should ask, “Is it OK if I smoke?” But don’t be surprised if they say, “No, you can’t smoke.” In my culture, if you smoke in their house, you are a bad guest, but if they don’t allow you to smoke in their house, they are not rude hosts. In a word, no matter where you are, the best way to be a good guest is to adapt to (适应) the habits of your hosts. 8. When a western guest visits a Chinese family, he often ________.

Where there is a will, there is a way. C. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.   D. Actions speak louder than words. 11. What is the best title of the passage? A. The Best Hosts B. The Best Guests C. Different Cultures in Different Countries D. Different Guest-host Relationships in Different Cultures 3、 Few words are spoken more often every day on the streets of Britain than “I’m sorry”.
