Ⅵ. A) Read the passage and choose the best answers. 阅读短文,选择最佳答案。
Li Ming is studying in New York. He's quite 1 in the great differences between American and Chinese cultures.
Firstly, Americans and Chinese are different in planning a visit. In China, people often just drop by their friends' homes if they have time. They don't usually have to make plans to meet their friends. But it's 2 for Americans to visit a friend's house without calling first.
3 , their table manners are different. Chinese usually eat directly from the serving dishes with chopsticks or spoons. And during the meal, the host may keep putting food on the guest's plate. An American, however, only eats from his own plate. He never picks up food for others 4 he is asked to do so. And he always uses a knife and fork to eat instead of chopsticks.
At the beginning, it was hard for Li Ming to 5 things around him because of these 6 differences. But soon, he managed to get used to their ways of doing things.

When Anna first moved to Japan for work, she knew so little about local customs 1 she made several interesting mistakes.
One morning, she met her new Japanese workmate, Mr Tanaka, at the office. Anna smiled and reached out to shake his hand, but Mr Tanaka looked a little 2 (surprise). Later, her friend Yuki told her gently, "In Japan, people should bow when greeting others, especially in formal situations. Shaking hands is more common with foreigners, but a slight bow is still polite." Anna 3 (sudden) understood—she was used to Western greeting 4 (custom), so she forgot Japan's traditional manners.
Anna also made a mistake at a dinner party. When the host served sushi, she picked it up with her fingers directly. Yuki quickly whispered (耳语) to her, "It's polite to use chopsticks for sushi here. Using hands might be seen as rude in formal settings." Anna felt so 5 (embarrass) that her face turned red. She quickly put down the sushi and picked up chopsticks, thanking Yuki for the timely tip.
Another thing surprised Anna was the gift-giving custom. She brought a bottle of wine to Yuki's home. When Yuki 6 (receive) it, she didn't open it immediately. Anna was 7 (confuse) at first—she thought people in Western countries usually open gifts right away to show happiness. Later, Yuki explained, "Japanese people usually open gifts later in private, not in front of the giver 8 the giver asks her to do so." Anna found this custom so interesting that she took a note of it.
