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.

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.
