he main difference between Chinese and America eating habits is that unlike, where everyone has their own plate of food, in China the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares. If you are being treated by a Chinese host, be prepared for a ton of food. Chinese are very proud of their culture of food and will do their best to give you a taste of many different types of cuisine. Among friends, they will just order enough for the people there. If they are taking somebody out for dinner and the relationship is polite to semi-polite, then they will usually order one more dish than the number of guests (e.g. four people, five dishes). If it is a business dinner or a very formal occasion, there is likely to be a huge amount of food that will be impossible to finish.
A typical meal starts with some cold dishes, like boiled peanuts and smashed cucumber with garlic. These are followed by the main courses, hot meat and vegetable dishes. Finally soup is brought out, which is followed by the starchy "staple" food, which is usually rice or noodles or sometimes dumplings. Many Chinese eat rice (or noodles or whatever) last, but if you like to have your rice together with other dishes, you should say so early on.

A School-report
The father was reading the school-report which had just been handed to him by his hopeful son. His brow was wrathful as he read: "English, poor, French, weak, mathematics, mathematics, Fair," and he gave a glance of disgust at the quaking lad. "Wall, Dad." Said the son, "it is not as good as it might be, but have you seen that?" And he pointed to the next line, which read: "Health excellent."

①第一篇Far and away the most important holiday in China is Spring Festival, also known as the Chinese New Year. To the Chinese people it is as important as Christmas to people in the West. The dates for this annual celebration are determined by the lunar calendar rather than the Gregorian calendar, so the timing of the holiday varies from late January to early February.
To the ordinary Chinese, the festival actually begins on the eve of the lunar New Year's Day and ends on the fifth day of the first month of the lunar calendar. But the 15th of the first month, which normally is called the Lantern Festival, means the official end of the Spring Festival in many parts of the country. 总的来说在中国最重要的节日是春节,亦称中国新年。对中国人民来说它的重要性就如方圣诞节对于西方人民。这个一年一次的节日日期取决于阴历而不是格里历，因此假日的时间变化从一月下旬到上旬2月。对普通的中国人，节日总是在除夕夜开始,结束于阴历的第一个月的第五天。 但1第一个月的15号，通常称灯会，在国家的大部分地区意味春节的正式结尾。
"Guo Nian," meaning "passing the year," is the common term among the Chinese people for celebrating the Spring Festival. It actually means greeting the New Year. At midnight at the turn of the old and New Year, people used to let off fire-crackers which serve to drive away the evil spirits and to greet the arrival of the New Year. In an instant the whole city would be engulfed in the deafening noise of the firecrackers.
“过年”意义为“度过这一年”，是中国百姓庆祝春节的共同术语。它事实上意味着欢迎新的一年。在新旧年交替的午夜，百姓习惯的放会赶走怪物的烟火，并且欢迎新年的到来。在那一瞬间，整个城市都响彻爆竹的震耳欲聋的声音。
②第二篇Spring Festival is the most important traditional festival. Because China is a big country, different parts of people have different ways to celebrate Spring Festival. Many people eat noodles dumplings and so on，they hope to have good luck to make the life longer and healthier. During Spring Festival, people like to visit relatives. Children love Spring Festival very much. Because they can eat delicious food, wear new clothes and let off firecrackers, they also can get money to buy things that they want.
春节是最重要的传统节日。因为中国是一个大国家，不同地方的人有不同庆祝春节的方式。很多人在春节吃面条，饺子还有很多，他们希望能有好运，使生命更长远更健康。春节期间，人们喜欢去拜访亲戚。小孩子酷爱春节。因为他们可以吃很多好吃的食物，穿新衣赏和放鞭炮，当然他们可以获得很多钱去买他们想要的东西。
