The customs in different countries are very different. If I have dinner with a Chinese host, (主人)he always puts more food onto my plate as soon as I have emptied it.   1.   I have to eat the food even though I do not want to, because it is thought bad manners in the West to leave one’s food on the plate. I have also noticed that when a Chinese sits at an American’s dinner party, he often refuses the offer of food or drink though he’s in fact still hungry or thirsty.   2.   In the U S A, it is impolite to keep asking someone again and again and always accepting (接受)something.   3.  If they want something, they will ask for it.  4.   When an American is served with beer （啤酒）by the host, for example, he might say, “ No, thanks. I’ll take some orange juice if you have it.”  5.   So when you go to the USA, you’d better remember the famous saying, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

A.Americans have a direct way of speaking. B.If not, they will say, “No, thanks.” C.That often makes me uncomfortable. D.This might be good manners in China but it is not in the West at all. E.That is what an American will do.

【解析】

试题分析：这篇文章主要是讲的是中西在就餐礼仪方面的不同之处，并告诉大家要入乡随俗。

1.C根据上文句意（我一吃完主人就向我的盘子里放更多的食物）及下文（即使我不想我也不得不吃这些食物）可知此句是这样做使我感到不舒服，故选C。

2.D根据上下文是讲的在就餐方面中西方的不同，所以选D。

3.A此句下文讲的是美国人在就餐方面的做法，所以此空填选A。

4.B根据上文可知此句是接着说如果不需要他们就说：“不，谢谢。”，故选B。

5.E上文是说的美国人是怎样做的，故选E。
