There are many differences between Chinese and Western eating habits. In the West, everyone has their own 　　16　 　of food. But in China the dishes are 　17　 　on the table and everyone shares. If you are being treated by a Chinese host, there must be 　18　 　food prepared for you. Chinese are very 　19　 　of their culture and will do their best to show their hospitality(好客).

And sometimes the Chinese host use their 　20　 　to put food in your bowl or plate. This is a sign of politeness. The proper thing to do would be to eat the whatever-it-is and say how 　21　 　it is. If you feel uncomfortable with this, you can just say a polite “Thanks” and leave the food there. Don’t 　22　 　your chopsticks upright into the rice bowl. Instead, lay(放置) them on your dish. The reason for this is that when somebody 　23　 　, the shrine(神祠)to them has a bowl of sand or rice with two chopsticks which are stuck upright in it. It is impolite to set the teapot down where the spout(壶嘴)is facing 　24　 　somebody. The spout should always be directed to where nobody is sitting, usually just outward(向外)from the table.

Don’t hit on your bowl with your chopsticks. Beggars(乞丐)hit on their bowls, so this is not polite. Also, when the food is coming too 　25　 　in a restaurant, people will tap their bowls. If you are someone’s home, it is like offending the cook.
