When I was growing up in the United States,I once took part in a performance.Afterward,someone gave me praise,but I felt like I had done a bad job.So I tried to refuse the praise,saying"No,I didn't do that well."My mother told me that was very rude.Later I learned that refusing a compliment is accepted and even approved of in China. Some of the biggest cultural differences have to do with table manners.In North America,it's polite to eat as quietly as possible.That means chewing with your mouth closed and not slurping your soup.The same goes for burping ()But in parts of Asia,slurping shows that you're enjoying your meal.And burping is a sign of being full and content. There are also differences in how people eat across cultures.For example,in North America and Europe people use forks to bring food to their mouths.But in Thailand,a fork is only used to push food onto a spoon.In India and the Middle East,people eat with their hands.But eating with the left hand is frowned upon.This is because the left hand is considered unclean. Yet there are also similar points across cultures.Saying "please"and "thank you",for example,is almost always polite.If you show appreciation and try to follow local customs,people will generally respond well.Showing kindness can bring people together,no matter what what culture they come from. 56.In which country do shoppers usually greet the person working in a store A.In China.
