China is known as a country of etiquette (礼节) and ceremonies. Here is an interesting story that shows this. Once upon a time, a man 36 on a long trip to visit his friend and took a swan as a gift. But the swan 37 from its cage on the way and when he tried to 38 it, he got hold of nothing but a 39 . Instead of returning home, he continued his 40 taking the swan feather with him. When his friend received this 41 gift, he was deeply moved. And the 42 ‘The gift is nothing much, but it’s the thought that counts.’ was 43 far and wide.
Chinese used to 44 one hand in the other in front of the chest as a salute. This 45 has a history of more than 2,000 years but nowadays it is 46 used except on the Spring Festival. And shaking hands is more popular and 47 on formal occasions. Bowing was often used by people in a 48 position such as subordinates(下属), students, and attendants. 49 at present Chinese youngsters tend to simply nod as a greeting.
It is common social practice to 50 the junior to the senior, or the familiar to the unfamiliar. When you start a talk 51 a stranger, topics such as weather, food, or 52 are a good choice to break the ice. With a 53 , a chat about current affairs, sports, the stock market or his job usually goes 54 . Similar to Western customs, you should be 55 in asking a woman private questions. However, talking about her job or family life will never put you into danger.

In our discussion with people on how education can help them succeed in life, a woman remembered the first meeting of an introductory course about 20 years ago.
The professor marched into the lecture hall, upon his desk a large jar filled with dried beans, and invited the students to how many beans the jar contained. After shouts of wildly wrong guesses the professor smiled a thin, dry smile，announced the answer, and went on saying, “You have just learned an important about science. That is: “Never your own senses”
Twenty years later, the could guess what the professor had in mind．He himself, perhaps, as inviting his students to start an exciting into all unknown world invisible to the , which can be discovered only through . But the seventeen-year-old girl before she could hear the invitation clearly. She was just to understand the world. And she that her firsthand experience could be the . The professor, however, said that it was . He was taking away her only for knowing and was providing her with no substitute(替代). “I remember feeling small and ,” the woman says, “and I did the only thing I could do, I dropped the that afternoon，and I haven’t gone near science since. ”
