A:Tom,you look worried.Why?
B:I'm going to have a meal at a Chinese friend's house and I don't know what I should do.
A:I have been to China three times and I know some Chinese table manners.
B:Oh,that's great!I've heard that it's OK to (51)make noise when you eat in China.
A:I guess so,but it depends.When you eat noodles,for example,you have to make noise.
B:What do you mean"have to"?
A:It's said that noodles taste(52)better that way.It shows that you enjoy the food.
B:That (53)sounds interesting.
A:Is it OK that I eat the food fast and leave the table early?
B:Not at all.In Chinese (54)culture,elder people are highly respected,you must wait for the elder to hold their chopsticks first.And you should eat neither too fast nor too slowly.You should stay with the elder.When they finish the meal,you can get up (55)together.
A:Oh,that's quite different from ours.Thank you very much for your advice.
B:My pleasure.Please enjoy your meal.
