In the eyes of many foreigners，Chinese are the best hosts and the worst guests in the world．And western hosts sometimes look rude（粗鲁的）in the eyes of Chinese guests．It is because the guest﹣host relationship in China is quite different from that in some western countries．

     In China，guests are almost like gods．Whenever I enter a Chinese friend'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 behavior for a guest．

     My wife's mother，a very kind Chinese lady，doesn't smoke．When I see some of her guests smoking in her house，as a non﹣smoker，I feel unhappy．Usually，I 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 American homes，if you are a guest，and the hosts are not smokers，you should not smoke in their house．At the very least，you should ask，"Is it OK if I smoke？"But don't be surprised if they say，"No，you can't smoke．"In my culture，if you smoke in their house，you are a bad guest，but if they don't allow you to smoke in their house，they are not rude hosts．

     In a word，no matter where you are，the best way to be a good guest is to adapt to（适应）the habits of your hosts．

（1）When a western guest visits a Chinese family，he often　　．

A．buys some fruit

B．brings a cup of tea

C． smokes

D． feels like a god

（2）What will the writer probably say if a guest wants to smoke in his house？　　

A． Let's smoke together．

B． Sorry， you can't smoke here．

C． Smoking is a bad habit．

D． It's OK if you smoke here．

（3）What can be learned from the passage？　　

A．A friend in need is a friend indeed．

B．Where there is a will，there is a way．

C．When in Rome，do as the Romans do．

D．Actions speak louder than words．

（4）What is the best title of the passage？　　

A．The Best Hosts

B．The Best Guests

C．Different Cultures in Different Countries

D．Different Guest﹣host Relationships in Different Cultures

What does it take to graduate from university？Some papers or high scores in exams？Well，these are not enough if you are a student at Tsinghua University．

     According to a new rule of the university，students must prove（证明）themselves in the swimming pool．They need to pass a swimming test of at least 50 meters，and those who fail the test will be required to take a swimming course throughout their school years．By the time they graduate，they will have known how to swim；otherwise they can't graduate with their bachelor's degrees（学士学位）．

     The news made waves in Chinese social media（媒体）．Some people praised the university for requiring a necessary skill that can save lives，and they also believed that the rule would help improve students' health．However，others questioned if it was fair to expect those who come from inland cities（内陆城市）to be able to swim．

     In fact，this is not a new rule．Tsinghua University first made swimming a requirement in1919 but later gave it up because the number of students became too large and there were not enough swimming pools in the school for them to learn swimming．

     Anyway，it is still good news that Chinese students' health has become more and more valued．Why not just take this chance to learn one more life﹣saving ability？

B．②③

C．③④
