第17题,Chen Gang has just got to know his new American friend Jim , who came to learn Chinese in Zhejiang University one month ago. One day , Chen Gang invited Jim to dinner together with two of his Chinese friends. It was a very nice and decent meal. There were a lot of dishes that Jim hadn' t tasted before. He kept finishing what Chen Gang and his friends put on his plate eagerly until he felt to burst. But there was still a lot left on the table when the dinner was over. Jim felt sorry for that. And he was surprised that Chen Gang and his friends fought for paying. At last , Chen Gang paid the bill. Jim thought that it was a very expensive meal, and he would so much like to go Dutch with them.
正确资料:1) In America，people value equality. When having dinner together, people usually have their own share of food, and are not supposed to share with the other. Nor are they used to putting food on the other' s plate. Moreover, people stress frugality and simplicity, so everyone is supposed to clean the plate without leaving any food on it. At the end of the dinner, to show equality , it is quite common for the friends to pay for their own meal.2)As a new comer to China , Jim didn"t quite understand Chinese way of eating out with friends. What he found at the Chinese restaurant was quite different from the way in America.In China, when having dinner together among friends, normally the respected one is treated in a special way by being offered more food. And it is quite common for the friends to fight for paying the bill to show their generosity.


第18题,A British tourist is travelling by train in China. Sitting opposite him is a Chinese passenger. They introduce themselves to each other&hellip;British tourist: Hello, I&rsquo;m Eric Jackson.

Please just call me Eric, Mr. Xin.<br />Chinese passenger: and you may just call me Liu Xin.
oth of them have taken each other&rsquo;s given name for the surname, since the order of the surnames of Chinese and English names are just the opposite. According to British custom its quite normal for persons who first meet to address each other by their given names alone, whereas here, when people first meet, they usually address each other by their full names and never by their given names alone.
