Sweetie, my company wants to promote(升职) me but needs me to work in Brazil. This is like your teacher telling you that youve done well and allowing you to skip(跳) a grade, but youll have to leave your friends. Would you say yes to your teacher? She gave me a hug and asked me to think about it. I was lost in thought. The question kept me wondering for the rest of the night. I had said Yes but for the first time, I realized the difficult decisions adults had to make.For almost four years, my mother would call us from Brazil every day. Every evening Id eagerly wait for the phone to ring and then tell her everything that happened during the day. A phone call, however, could never take her place and it was difficult not to feel lonely at times.During my fourth-grade Christmas break, we flew to Rio to visit her. Looking at her large empty apartment. It was then I started to understand the difficult choices she had to make. She needed to think about both family and work. Faced with difficult decisions, she used to tell me, you wouldnt know whether you made the right choice, but you could always make the best out of the situation, with a positive attitude.Back home, I reminded myself that what my mother could do, I could, too. If she managed to live in Rio all by herself, I, too, could learn to be independent. I learn how to take care of myself and set high but achievable goals.My mother is now back with us.

First, try a little of every dish by putting some on your plate or in a rice bowl. You dont have to eat it. But as a foreign guest, yourre supposed to be served first. If you dont try something, your host will be embarrassed-and will put it on your plate for you. ChopsticksThe main difference on the Chinese dinner table is that people use chopsticks instead of knife and fork. Remember dont point at others with chopsticks or wave them around when you talk at dinner. Never stick them upright in your rice bowl-thats how the Chinese honor the dead at graves（坟墓）. Instead, you should put chopsticks beside the plate. BargainingWhen you go to open-air markets or private stores, you need to bargain with the shop assistants. Remember to establish a friendly relationship first. You are creating a relationship with the sellers, not a price war. Think of it this way: Shouting, arguing, and pointing are not good. Instead, you should smile, be friendly and offer to buy more for a better price. And dont be afraid to ask, Can you offer me a better price?”（1）When you are invited to dinner in China, . A . you should not try anythingB . youd better leave if you dont like the dishesC . you need to cat all the dishes before you are servedD . you may take a little of every dish and put it on your own plate（2）How do you use chopsticks properly in China?
