One of the rules is that young people should always respect(尊敬 ) elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States. I had a parttime job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middleaged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感 ) Americans are and how they dislike the description “ old” . I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry. In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience. However, in the United States, people think “ growing old” is a problem since “ old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn’t want to hear. After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’ t respect them any more。 五、 根據(jù)文章選詞填空,把答案填在答卷紙上: 10 分 短文填空 : 閱讀下面短文,根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容從方框里選詞填空。看到這一幕,其他人會不會羞愧得臉都紅了呢 ? 初四英語期中檢測 20212017 答案 一、閱讀理解 15 BACBC 610 BCBBA 1115 ACCBA 1620 BCABC 21.
