III. Reading Comprehension. Choose the best answer from the four choices. (每题2分，共10分)

American and Chinese cultures are in some ways precise opposites. An American who has you over for dinner, when praised for her cooking skill, is likely to say, \"Oh, I'm so glad you like it. I cooked it especially for you.\" Not so in China. A Chinese man or woman (often the husband does the special cooking), will instead apologize for giving you something that is hardly fit to eat and for not showing you enough honor by providing proper dishes.

The same rules hold true with regard to children. American parents speak proudly of their children's achievements, telling how Johnny made the school team or Jane made the honor roll. Not so Chinese parents, whose children, even if at the top of their class in school, are always so \"bad\

The Chinese take pride in \"having self-control\saying what is truly wanted has left many a Chinese hungry at an American table, for Chinese politeness calls for refusing three times before one accepts an offer, and American hosts (主人) take a \"no\" to mean \"no\

Recently, a member of a group sent to China by a large American business complained to me about how the Chinese had asked them three times if they would be willing to change an offer, and each time the Americans had said \"no\" clearly and definitely. My friend was angry that the Chinese had not taken his word the first time. I recognized the problem immediately and wondered why the Americans had not studied up on cultural differences before coming to China. It would have saved everyone a lot of confusing moments and needless frustration in their business interactions.

A. Chinese parents always say that their children are so “bad”. B. Chinese parents always feel proud of their children.

C. Chinese parents often speak truthfully about their children. D. Chinese parents often talk about their children's achievements. 29. How do Americans usually talk about their children?
