I have learnt a lot about Chinese life and culture while teaching in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province and found them very interesting． First, family life is quite 1 in China． In the USA, many young people 2 home after they finish their education and start working． However, in China, it is 3 for people to live with their parents until they get married． 4 , many of my Chinese friends told me that their 5 lived with them and helped take care of them when they were children． It seems that Americans think independence is more important 6 the Chinese think family relationships are more important． Bargaining is another 7 that I have tried to learn． In the USA, prices are 8 and you can’t ask for a lower price． However in some small Chinese stores and tourist places, you are 9 to bargain． My Chinese friends taught me to ask for 40 percent or 50 percent 10 the original price． If the salesperson doesn’t agree to my price, I should 11 to leave and he might let me come back and sell me the item． It is a skill that you have to 12 if you live in China． Tipping hasn’t been easier to 13 ． In the USA, many people in the service 14 want to get 15 money for serving customers． Tipping is not a part of Chinese culture． 16 I tried to tip a taxi driver． He looked a little 17 and refused to take the money． In dinners, perhaps what surprises an American visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their 18 ． Actually, this is a 19 of true friendship and politeness． My Chinese friend told me if I didn’t want to eat it, I should just 20 the food in the plate． 小题1: A．unique B．different C．private D．harmonious 小题2: A．come B．build C．leave D．abandon 小题3: A．regular B．true C．common D．usual 小题4: A．Also B．However C．Therefore D．Although 小题5: A．parents B．relatives C．babysitters D．grandparents 小题6: A．while B．since C．when D．as 小题7: A．way B．custom C．lesson D．habit 小题8: A．made B．agreed C．charged D．set 小题9: A．expected B．taught C．suggested D．required 小题10: A．up B．away C．off D．on 小题11: A．promise B．pretend C．decide D．hope 小题12: A．tolerate B．understand C．practise D．consider 小题13: A．adjust to B．turn to C．refer to D．stick to 小题14: A．area B．department C．branch D．industry 小题15: A．easy B．extra C．pocket D．prize 小题16: A．Often B．Once C．Sometimes D．Before 小题17: A．excited B．satisfied C．frightened D．confused 小题18: A．own B．children C．neighbors D．guests 小题19: A．signal B．mark C．sign D．feature 小题20: A．leave B．remain C．put D．taste
