三、阅读理解
China is a nation of etiquette(礼仪). Chinese people are among the most hospitable people in the world. If foreigners visit a Chinese family, they would be surprised at the warmth that they would receive as guests.
When you visit a Chinese family, the host usually makes tea for you. Then he will serve you snacks like biscuits or candy. Someone in the family will also chat with you, never letting you feel lonely.
At the same time, other family members will prepare a meal for you. Chinese people treat their guests with a big meal. They always present more food than the guest can eat. On the table, the guests must be the first to eat. Perhaps one of the things that surprises a Western guest most is that the Chinese host likes to pick food for visitors, which won't happen at Western tables. The Chinese family try their best to make you feel at home. As you are done eating, the host usually says "It seems that you didn't eat much. Please have more."
Being warm and hospitable has long been an important part of Chinese culture and tradition. As Confucius(孔子)said thousands of years ago: To meet friends from afar, how happy we are!
