Question

I have learnt a lot about Chinese life and culture while teaching in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province and found them very interesting．

First, family life is quite   36   in China． In the USA, many young people   37   home after they finish their education and start working． However, in China, it is   38   for people to live with their parents until they get married．   39  , many of my Chinese friends told me that their  40   lived with them and helped take care of them when they were children． It seems that Americans think independence is more important   41   the Chinese think family relationships are more important．

Bargaining is another   42   that I have tried to learn． In the USA, prices are   43   and you can’t ask for a lower price． However in some small Chinese stores and tourist places, you are   44   to bargain． My Chinese friends taught me to ask for 40 percent or 50 percent   45   the original price． If the salesperson doesn’t agree to my price, I should   46   to leave and he might let me come back and sell me the item． It is a skill that you have to   47   if you live in China．

Tipping hasn’t been easier to   48  ． In the USA, many people in the service   49   want to get   50   money for serving customers． Tipping is not a part of Chinese culture．   51   I tried to tip a taxi driver． He looked a little   52   and refused to take the money．

In dinners, perhaps what surprises an American visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their   53  ． Actually, this is a   54   of true friendship and politeness． My Chinese friend told me if I didn’t want to eat it, I should just   55   the food in the plate．
