In the West, when you go to a restaurant, you choose all that you want to eat;you do not choose a dish to share with others. Your food 【小题1】（ bring） to you, for you alone. As a guest, you may have the problem that the food you like is expensive. So you dare not order it, for it feels greedy. But when you choose something 【小题2】   （ little） expensive, your host will order what you really want.

But“ordering badly”is a bigger problem. Something can sound nice on the menu, but when it comes, you find that the 【小题3】（ combine） of flavors（味道） is wrong. But it is 【小题4】（you）, and you have to do your best to eat it. I have a friend in London 【小题5】 orders badly. Never has she really 【小题6】（enjoy） her meal.

In China, the question is not . “What shall I have? 【小题7】 ”“ What shall we have?” Food is ordered to share with others, not just 【小题8】 oneself. My friends here usually take my likes and dislikes into consideration when 【小题9】（order）, and I do the same for them. But if something I don't like is ordered, it's not a problem because there are all the other 【小题10】（dish） that I can enjoy.

Americans think time is money. They say, “You only get so much time in this life — you’d better use it 【小题1】 (wise).” Americans are trained to use their time for constructive activities,【小题2】 Americans admire a “well-organized” person, 【小题3】 has a written list of things to do and a schedule for doing them. They do not waste people’s time with conversations or other activities that have no obvious 【小题4】 (benefit) result.

The American attitude to time is not necessarily the one 【小题5】 (share) by others, especially non-Europeans. Non-Europeans are more likely to regard time 【小题6】 something that is simply there around them, rather than something of great value. In this background, the fast food industry can 【小题7】 (view) as a clear example of American cultural product. McDonald’s, KFC, and other fast food 【小题8】 (company) are successful in a country where many people want to spend the 【小题9】 (little) amount of time preparing and eating meals. As McDonald’s restaurants spread around the world, they have been viewed as symbols of American society and culture,【小题10】 (bring) not just hamburgers but speed, efficiency (效率), and shiny cleanliness.

Chinese culture certainly has no shortage of【小题1】（symbol）of good fortune，many of them arising from wordplay or riddles. For example，fish in China are considered to be a symbol of luck in several ways. Since the Chinese pronunciation of fish is the same as【小题2】 of another word meaning surplus，fish are often used as【小题3】sign of wealth or abundance. During the Spring Festival，a fish【小题4】（prepare）to represent the desire to always have something 【小题5】（leave）over for the coming year. One can also often see carp（鲤鱼）in Asian artwork.

This fish is able to grow very old，therefore 【小题6】（serve）as a symbol of longevity. It also represents unity since they often swim together in pairs. This explains 【小题7】 fish decorations are often given 【小题8】 a wedding gift to represent a perfect union. 【小题9】（final），fish are also a symbol of fertility（生育能力）because of their 【小题10】（able）to reproduce rapidly and in large volumes.

Chinese idioms are rich and they are still 【小题1】（wide）used in Chinese people's daily life. 【小题2】 these idioms there are often interesting stories. For example，the idiom，“plucking（拔）up a crop 【小题3】（help）it grow”，is based on the following story.
