同步练习题目
Read the text and answer the questions below. Cultures around the world are special, and Chinese and Western cultures have clear differences in daily life, such as gift-giving, dining, and festivals. When giving gifts, Chinese people often refuse a gift politely at first. They don’t open gifts right away, as it’s a way to show politeness. However, Western people usually accept gifts happily and open them at once to say “thank you” and share the joy. Dining habits are different too. Chinese families eat with chopsticks and share dishes together. This shows warmth and togetherness. In Western countries, people use knives and forks. Each person has their own plate of food, and they don’t share much. Festivals are another big difference. The Spring Festival is important in China. Families get together, eat dumplings, and give red envelopes. In the West, Christmas is the most important holiday. People decorate Christmas trees, give presents, and have turkey for dinner. These differences make our world rich. We should understand them and respect each other’s ways of life.
