1)In China，a visit to home always includes a meal．And the guest always brings a relatively rich present to the host．And the present should be well wrapped or untouched．
2)In the west，a visit to home only means a meeting，not necessarily including a meal．And the present is treated not as importantly as it is in China．
3)I acted in a way that was based on Chinese customs，So I felt the American way was very interesting(unusual)． Question 42．
Case 2(1 0 points，8 points for the analysis，2 points for overall language quality．)
1)On the topic of hospitality，the Chinese stress is on warmth and demonstrating friendship． They take the guest to a famous or luxurious restaurant to have a very good (expensive) meal to show their hospitality．And the Chinese are used to having a big meal．The more dishes they put out，the greater the warmth and friendship they show·
2)In western countries，people stress on freedom．They give the guest great freedom to choose their own foods． And westerners tend to have only one main course and some juice or dessert，which is viewed as casual in the eyes of the Chinese．[Note ! If the student
answers that Western people have only three courses，this is also correct!]
3)Lin lived in American surroundings and should have adjusted himself quickly to the new world(1ifestyle)．He should have known the custom there first，and felt more at ease in Mike’s home． Question 43．
Case 3(13 points，11 points for the analysis，2 points for overall language quality·) 1)In China，when people host someone，they put the guest in the place of honor to show hospitality．They try to take care of the guest，and try to make the guest feel comfortable and at ease．
2)In America，people tend to give the guest great freedom and treat a guest more casually， naturally and truthfully．
3)Zhang Tao knew he was a guest，and thought in terms of Chinese expectations of
hospitality．He thought Bill should treat him courteously instead of setting rules for him 4)Since Zhang Tao lived in American surroundings，he should have known about the customs there sooner．
