    There are many differences between Chinese and Western eating habits. In the West, everyone has their own 1of food. But in China the dishes are  2  on the table and everyone shares. If you are being treated by a Chinese host, there must be3 food prepared for you. Chinese are very  4 of their culture and will do their best to show their hospitality （好客）.

And sometimes the Chinese host uses his/her 5 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 6 it is. If you feel uncomfortable with this, you can just say a polite "Thanks” and leave the food there. Don't 7 your chopsticks upright into the rice bowl. Instead, lay （放置） them on your dish. The reason for this is that when somebody 8, the shrine （神祠） 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 9 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  10 in a restaurant, people will tap their bowls. If you are in someone's home, it is like off ending the cook.
