六、任务型阅读。(2025·江苏盐城东台第一教育联盟月考改编)
阅读短文，回答下列问题。
In the eyes of many foreigners，the Chinese are the best hosts and the worst guests in the world. And Western hosts sometimes look rude in the eyes of Chinese guests. It is because the guest-host relationship(关系)in China is quite different from that in some Western countries.
In China，guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese friend’s home，there is always fruit on the table for me，and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the West，generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to(根据)the host’s way is usual behaviour for a guest.
My wife’s mother，a very kind Chinese lady，doesn’t smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her house，as a non-smoker I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly，but I must realize that in China，to be a good host，she must not do that.
In most North American homes，if you are a guest，and the hosts are not smokers，you should not smoke in their houses. At the very least，you should ask，“Is it OK if I smoke?” But don’t be surprised if they say，“No，you can’t smoke.” In my culture，if you smoke in their houses，you are a bad guest，but if they don’t allow you to smoke in their houses，they are not rude hosts.
In a word，no matter where you are，the best way to be a good guest is to adapt to(适应)the local customs. Just as the saying goes，“When in Rome，do as the Romans do.”
1. To many foreigners，who are the best hosts and the worst guests in the world?
2. What is usual behaviour for a guest in the West?
3. What do you think is impolite for a guest to do?
