　　【答案解析】     66—70 CDADB   

　　E

　　Before I came to China, I had heard that, although North Americans eat more than Chinese, Chinese eat better. Since I have come to China, I have been able to experience these differences first-hand. A whole new world of food has been opened up to me.

　　Along with these new experiences came the quite unexpected introduction to the rituals(惯例) associated with eating. For example, shortly after arriving, I was gently criticized for filling somebody’s teacup all the way up instead of half way. This was a signal to the person that I desired that he leave.

　　There may be mixed messages about what it means when you do something associated with food. But the fact is that there may be a message contained in the preparation, serving and consumption(吃喝) of food in China. This was an idea that was totally new to me!

　　More than one Chinese has made the comment to me that they were unhappy with the results of inviting a foreigner to a meal. They told me that the foreigner was not appreciative of the meal that was served to him or her and was hard to please.

　　Having played the part of the foreigner at more than one Chinese buffet, I can understand where the misunderstandings come from. I myself have felt very uncomfortable during some of the dinners I have been invited to.
