A lot of etiquette (礼节) considerations happen when dining in China. There are some special differences in table manners from western countries.
A round dining table is more popular than a square (方形的) one. As many people who can be seated comfortably around it conveniently face one another. The guest of honor is always seated to the right of the host; the next in line will sit on left. Guests should be seated after the host’s invitation, and it is impolite to seat guests at the place where the dishes are served.
Dining may only begin once the host and all his guests are seated. The host should actively take care of all his guests, inviting them to enjoy their meal.
On a typical Chinese dining table there is always a cup, a bowl on a small dish, together with the chopsticks and spoons. Dishes are always presented in the center of the table.
Apart from soup, all dishes should be eaten with chopsticks. The Chinese are particular about the use of chopsticks. There are many no-no’s such as twiddling (玩弄) with chopsticks, using them to stir (搅拌) up the food, gesturing with them, or pointing them at others. Never stick chopsticks in the center of rice, as this is the way to sacrifice (供奉) and is therefore considered to be unlucky. Use public chopsticks in some special dishes.
Keep your dining pace in accord with other people. Never smoke when dining.
Formal dining is always accompanied by tea, beer or distilled spirits (白酒). The one who sits closest to the teapot or wine bottle should pour them for others from the senior to the junior. And when other people fill your cup or glass, you should express your thanks. Guests cannot pour tea or wine themselves.
1. Why is the round table preferred when dining in China
A. Because the round table looks nice.
B. Because the round table can seat more people.
C. Because it is more comfortable for people to sit and talk to each other.
D. Because people like the round table very much.
2. What does the word “his” refer to (指的是)
A. The junior. B. The senior.
C. The host. D. The waiter.
3. What can we learn from the text

A lot of etiquette (礼节) considerations happen when dining in China. There are some special differences in table manners from western countries.
A round dining table is more popular than a square (方形的) one. As many people who can be seated comfortably around it conveniently face one another. The guest of honor is always seated to the right of the host; the next in line will sit on his left. Guests should be seated after the host’s invitation, and it is impolite to seat guests at the place where the dishes are served.
Dining may only begin once the host and all his guests are seated. The host should actively take care of all his guests, inviting them to enjoy their meal.
On a typical Chinese dining table there is always a cup, a bowl on a small dish, together with the chopsticks and spoons. Dishes are always presented in the center of the table.
Apart from soup, all dishes should be eaten with chopsticks. The Chinese are particular about the use of chopsticks. There are many no-no’s such as twiddling (玩弄) with chopsticks, using them to stir (搅拌) up the food, gesturing with them, or pointing them at others. Never stick chopsticks in the center of rice, as this is the way to sacrifice (供奉) and is therefore considered to be unlucky. Use public chopsticks in some special dishes.
Keep your dining pace in accord with other people. Never smoke when dining.
Formal dining is always accompanied by tea, beer or distilled spirits (白酒). The one who sits closest to the teapot or wine bottle should pour them for others from the senior to the junior. And when other people fill your cup or glass, you should express your thanks. Guests cannot pour tea or wine themselves.
1. Why is the round table preferred when dining in China
A. Because the round table looks nice.
B. Because the round table can seat more people.
C. Because it is more comfortable for people to sit and talk to each other.
D. Because people like the round table very much.
2. What does the word “his” refer to (指的是)
A. The junior. B. The senior.
C. The host. D. The waiter.
3. What can we learn from the text
A. Dishes are always presented in the center of the table.

C. The guest who finishes the meal first can leave by himself.
D. Dining may only begin once the host and some of his guests are seated.
