American and Chinese cultures are【C1】______ in some ways. An American hostess,【C2】______ for her culinary (烹调) skill, is likely to say, “Oh, I’m so glad you liked it. I cooked it especially for you.” Not so a Chinese hostess, who will instead【C3】______ for giving you nothing even slightly【C4】______ and for not showing you enough honor【C5】______ providing proper dishes.
The same rules hold true【C6】______ children. American parents speak proudly of their children’s achievements, telling how Johnny made the school team or Jane made the honor roll. Not so Chinese parents, whose children, even if at the top of their school, are always so “naughty”, never studying, never listening to their elders, and so forth.
The Chinese take pride in “modesty”; Americans【C7】______ “straightforwardness”.

Recently, a member of a delegation sent to China by a large American corporation, complained to me about how the Chinese had asked them three times if they would be willing to change some proposal, and each time the Americans had said “no” clearly and【C9】______ . My friend was angry that the Chinese had not taken his word the first time. I recognized the problem immediately and【C10】______ why the Americans had not studied up on cultural difference before coming to China. It would have saved everyone a lot of perplexity and needless frustration in their negotiations.
