阅读下面短文，并根据短文后的要求回答（请注意问题后的字数要求）

[1]China will change the world as much as the world changes China, if the country continues its opening up.

[2]How could it not? The rest of the world cannot remain unaffected by the culture of one-fifth of humanity. As China strengthens its economy, allows its citizens more overseas travel and participates in global efforts, the West surely will learn more about Chinese ways.

[3]And once it does, its people might choose to adot some of them.

[4]It might surprise Chinese that Westerners            . When I announced my Beijing job to American friends, family and neighbors, they were very curious and mostly uninformed about China．

[5] Our media carries little news about China except during unusual circumstances, which typically are times of stress between the two countries．We hear about arguments with China over climate change, Taiwan and Tibet, but that doesn' t tell average Americans anything about average Chinese．

[6]Most American- don't know that Chinese weddings feature firecrackers; that Chinese parents make extraordinary sacrifices for their children; that Chinese diners eat off plates smaller than any on a Western table; that favorite Chinese drinks include hot soy milk and the potent white-grain alcohol, baijiu; and that elderly Chinese sometimes walk down streets backwards to keep their balancing skills sharp．

[7]Westemers will learn as they and the Chinese increasingly mingle（接触）．As they do there' s no telling which Chirac customs will take root in foreiffl soil．but some of them surely will．

[8] Maybe we' 11 see baijiu and green tea served at baseball stadiums along with beer and soda pop．That wouldn' t make the game any less American．

[9] Meanwhile, I hope China continues to take in what the world has to offer and transform it into something typically Chinese．To think that exposure to Western ways weakens China, instead of strengthens it, assumes the country' s culture is fragile．That' s a surprising attitude for any Chinese to take．
