In the eyes of many foreigners, Chinese people are the best hosts and the worst guests. And Western hosts sometimes look rude (粗鲁的) in the eyes of Chinese guests too. That's because the guest-host relationship in China is{#blank#}1{#/blank#}from that in some Western countries.

Whenever I enter a Chinese home, there is always fruit on the table for me, and there is always someone bringing me a{#blank#}2{#/blank#}of tea or water.{#blank#}3{#/blank#} in the West, the hosts always do things in their own way. 

My wife's mother is Chinese and she doesn't smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her house, as a non-smoker, I {#blank#}4{#/blank#}unhappy. Usually I want to {#blank#}5{#/blank#}them directly, but in China, a good host does not do that. In most North American homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are non-smokers, you should not smoke in their house. At the very least, you should ask, "Is it OK if I smoke here?" But, don't be {#blank#}6{#/blank#}if they say, "No, you can't smoke here," In our culture, if you smoke in the host's house, you are a bad guest. But if the hosts don't allow you to {#blank#}7{#/blank#}in their house, it doesn't mean they are rude hosts.

Guests in China also {#blank#}8{#/blank#}special habits. Some Western people may not adapt to (适应) these habits very soon. Thankfully, my wife is Chinese, so whenever we visit a Chinese family, she {#blank#}9{#/blank#}me to buy the host a gift. However, giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So, if you invite international guests to your house, don't be too surprised if they don't bring you a(n){#blank#}10{#/blank#}.

In a word, no matter where you are, the best way to be a good guest is to adapt to the habits of your hosts.
