《2025年暑假总动员宁夏人民教育出版社八年级英语外研版》

三、阅读理解
Whenever I travel to western countries, I meet the same problem, that is to slurp(出声地吃) or not to slurp when I eat with westerners.
When you travel abroad, it is good to respect and follow certain table manners. For example, you should not talk with your mouth full. It will make people feel quite uncomfortable in most countries.
In fact, every culture has its own rules at the dining table. For example, eating with your left hand isn't allowed in India. In Chinese culture, you're not supposed to stick chopsticks into the food.
Having stayed in France for several weeks, I was very careful about my table manners. However, I got back to my own ways slowly as time went by. I made myself a bowl of noodles and ate it in the traditional Chinese way, which meant I slurped through it till my bowl was totally empty.
I agree that eating loudly is without doubt the most unwelcome dining behaviour, no matter(无论) how delicious the food is. But I think it is OK to slurp soup and noodles. To most Chinese people it's a good expression of enjoying well-cooked food. Some traditions might appear strange, but they are special and have their own values. There is totally no need to feel embarrassed (尴尬的) about your cultural behaviour, as long as(只要) they are harmless and acceptable.
