　　The customs(习惯) in different countries are rather different. If I have dinner with a Chinese host(主人), he always puts more food onto my plate as soon as I have eaten it up. That often discomforts(使……不安) me greatly. I have to eat the food even if I do not want to. Because it is bad manners in the West to leave one's food on the plate. I have also found that when a Chinese sits at an American's dinner, he hardly asks for food or drink though he's still hungry or thirsty.

　　This might be good manners in China but not in the West at all. In the United States, it is not polite to keep asking someone again and again to accept(接受) something. If Americans want something, they will ask for it. If not, they will say, “No, thanks.” When an American is served with beer by the host, for example, he might say, “No, thanks. I'll take some orange juice if you don't mind.” That is what an American will do. So when you go to the United States, you'd better remember the famous saying: “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.”

Answer 1

答案：D;A;C;C;B
解析：

1．这是一道细节题．根据短文首句The customs in different countries are rather different.及文中叙述的美国人的就餐习惯可判断出，与其他国家不同． 　　2．这是一道综合分析判断题．综合短文第一段叙述的If I have dinner with a Chinese host, he always puts more food onto my plate as soon as have eaten it up.及Because it is bad manners in the west to leave one's food on the plate.可判断出，是中国人吃饭后在盘子里留下食品． 　　3．这是一道推理判断题．根据短文第一段叙述的一个中国人在美国人家里就餐，即使又饿又渴也几乎不去要食品和饮料及短文第二段叙述的This night be good manners in China but not in the West at all. In the United States, it is not polite to keep asking someone again and again to accept something. If Americans want something, they will ask for it.可推断出，一个中国人席间不去要食品和饮料，是因为他认为这样做不礼貌． 　　4．这是一道正误辨认题．根据短文第一段叙述的在吃饭时，中国人尽量地往客人碗里夹菜及I have to eat the food even if I do not want to.可知，在吃饭时，中国主人常常请客人多吃． 　　5．这是一道句意理解题．本文介绍了西方国家与中国风俗习惯的不同之处，由此可判断出，谚语“When in Rome, do as the Romans do.”的意思是“入国间禁，入乡随俗”．
