阅读理解

    When you are at home, you may often help your mum with housework like folding the clothes. But can you imagine folding your phone screen? Huawei's newest phone, the Mate X, is foldable. You can fold it in half as if you are closing a book. But what makes the Mate X different is that it is folded from the outside.

    The Mate X is both a phone and a tablet(平板电脑). When folded, it works as a phone. When opened, it is a tablet. The phone is very thin. When it is open, it is 5. 4mm thick, and when it is closed it is just 1l mm. 5Gcan also work on Mate X, which means users can get a whole movie in just a few seconds.

    But users can only take selfies(自拍) when the phone is folded. That's because the phone doesn't have a front camera(镜头).

    Huawei, the Mate Xmaker, says they are going to sell MateXin August this year, and the price is set at 2299 dollars, which is much higher than people expected. Can you accept the price for changing a phone?

(1)、When Mate X is open, it's________________ thick.
A、1.1 mm B、5.4mm C、4.5 mm D、11 mm

In the eyes of many foreigners, Chinese are the best hosts and the worst guests in the world. They're not really bad guests but because the guest-host relationship in China is much different than in some Western countries it appears they are not nice guests. And Western guests sometimes look rude in the eyes of Chinese guests.  

  In China guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese person's home there is always fruit on the table for me and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the West generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the host's way of doing things is usual behaviour for a guest. 

  My wife's mother is a very kind elderly Chinese lady who doesn't smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her house, as a non-smoker I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly but I must realize that she must not do that. In most North America homes if you are a guest and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their house. At the very least you could ask "Is it OK if I smoke?" But don't be surprised if they say "No, you can't smoke." In our culture if you smoke in their home you are a bad guest, but if they don't allow you to smoke in their house they are not a rude guest.

  Guests in China also have special habits. Some Western people may not adapt to these habits very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So if you invite international guests to your home don't be too surprised if they don't bring you a gift. 

  In China you probably won't need to change the guest-host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If Western hosts invite you to their house, try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.
