Here I must put in a few words about my experience here in China. If I have ___36__ with a Chinese host, he always presses(硬塞给)___37__ food onto my plate as soon as I have emptied the previous helping(份额). That often makes me ___38___awkward(尴尬). I have to eat the food even if I don’t ___39___ it, because it is ___40___ manners in the  West to _41__ one’s food on the plate. I have also ___42__ that when a Chinese sits at an American’s dinner party, he  often ___43___ the offer of food or drink though he is in fact still hungry or  ___44___.  This might be good manners in China,  but it is
certainly__45___ in the West. In the United States,  it is___46___ to keep asking someone again and again or press something on him. Americans are very ___47___.  If they want something, they will ask for it. If not, they will say, “__48__” Here’s an example:  When an American is offered ___49_ by the host, and he doesn’t feel like beer, he will probably say, “No, thanks. I just don’t feel like it. I’ll  ___50___  some Pepsi-Cola （百事可乐）if you have it.” That is ___51__ an American will do. ___52___are taught that  “Honesty is the best policy”. But in some countries, courtesy(谦虚) might be more important than ___53___. So when I am here in China, I have to observe（遵循） the __54__ here. But when you go to ___55___, you had better “Do as the Romans do.”
