One of the rules is that young people should always respect (尊敬) elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry.In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience. However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn’t want to hear.After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words.11, Jack brought the couple their food very fast because______.A the manager asked him to do soB he respected the elderlyC the couple wanted him to do soD he wanted more pay正确的回答是: B12, When Jack called the couple “elderly”, they became ______.A nervousB satisfiedC unhappyD excited正确的回答是: C13, In Jack’s hometown, ______.A people dislike being called “old”B people are proud of being oldC many people reach the age of seventy or eightyD the elderly are the first to get food in restaurants正确的回答是: B14, After this experience, Jack ______.A lost his job in the restaurantB made friends with the coupleC no longer respected the elderlyD changed his way with older people正确的回答是: D15, Which of the following is TRUE?A The more Jack explained, the angrier the couple got.B Jack wanted to show his feelings through words after his experience.C The manager went back to the table and apologized to the couple.D From this experience, Jack learned more about American culture.正确的回答是: D完形It’s 3:00 a.m. Angela is ready to start the day at the family bakery.
