In the eyes of many foreigners, Chinese are the best hosts and the worst guests in the world.
They're not really bad guests, but because the guest-host relationship in China is much different
than in some western counties. it appears they are not nice guests. And western hosts sometimes
look rude in the eyes of Chinese guests.
In China, guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese person's home, there is always fruit on the table for me. and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west,generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the host's way of doing things is usual behaviorfor a guest.
My wife's mother, a very kind elderly Chinese lady, doesn't smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her house, as a non-smoker, I feel unhappy. Usually l want to stop them directly, but I must realize that in China, to be a good host, she must not do that. In most North America homes. if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their house. At the very least, you could ask, "Is it OK if I smoke?" But, don't be surprised if they say, "No, you can't smoke." In our culture. if you smoke in their home, you are a bad guest, but if they don't allow you to smoke in their house, they are not a rude host.
Guests in China also have special habits. Some western people may not adapt to these habits very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese, so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However, giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So, if you invite international guests to your home, don't be too surprised if they don't bring you a gift.
In China, you probably won't need to change the guest-host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host, and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If westem hosts.
invite you to their house, try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.

31．【答案】A。解析：细节题。根据第一段中的“In the eyes of many foreigners，Chinese are the best hostsand the worst guests in the world”可知，在许多外国人眼里，中国人是世界上最好的主人，也是世界上最糟糕的客人。故本题选A。
32．【答案】B。解析：细节题。根据第二段中的“In China，guests are almost like gods"。可知，在中国，客人就像上帝一样，故B项正确。根据第二段中的“…there is always fruit on the table for me，and someone ls quickto bring me a cup of tea or water”可知A、D两项与原文不符。根据第四段中的“So，if you invite internationalguests to your home，don't be too surprised if they don't bring you a gifi“可知C项与原文不符。故本题选B：
33．【答案】C。解析：推断题。根据第三段中的“When I see some of her guests smoking in her house，as anon-smoker.I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly…”可知作者不抽烟，并且也不喜欢客人在家里抽烟。然后结合下文“…don't be surprised if they say,‘No，you can't smoke.’”可知本题选C。
34．【答案】B。解析：含义题。根据关键词定位到第四段。上文提到作者作为主人时，不能适应中国的一些习惯；本段提到在中国做客也会有一些特殊的习惯，所以这里应该是指西方人也不能适应做客时的一些习惯。think back to“回想，追忆”，get used to“习惯于”，Iook forward to“盼望，期待”，keep close to“与……
紧密联系”。get used to与adapt to的意思相近。故本题选B。
35．【答案】D。解析：主旨题。通读全文可知本文主要讲述了东西方人在主宾关系方面的一些习惯差异，人们应该理解这些不同。故本题选D项“人们应该理解文化差异”。A项“外国人应该向中国人学习”文章未提及．B项“主人必须以客人的方式做事”偏离主题，C项“西方主人对客人总是很好”文章未提及。
