A young British woman had shortly arrived in Hong Kong and had not yet
[
]
( learned )
anything about the Chinese
[
]
( culture )
. One day she went to the home of a Chinese friend and was
[
]
( immediately )
given a cup of Chinese tea. She was not
[
]
( thirsty )
and she also found this type of tea rather
[
]
( bitter )
. However, since she had been given the
[
]
( tea )
, she felt she should
[
]
( drink )
it. Hoping to finish it
[
]
( quickly )
so that she would not feel about having to drink this tea which she did not
[
]
( like )
, she started to drink as much of
[
]
( it )
as she could. But
[
]
( as soon as )
her cup became half - full, the host
[
]
( insisted on )
giving her more. Several times she told the host that she had had
[
]
( enough )
, but it seemed to have no
[
]
( effect )
. Her cup kept being
[
]
( filled )
, and she kept on drinking. During the time of her
[
]
( visit )
, she drank about 12 cups of tea. Only later did she find out that she should have just
[
]
( left )
the tea, and that this would have meant that she had had enough. Influenced by her
[
]
( Western )
culture, she felt it too
[
impolite
]
to leave the tea and could not
[
]
( understand )
why the host took no notice of her protests that she had had enough!
