    　　New Year’s Eve in the United Kingdom usually consists of decide which parties to attend and how much alcohol to drink before and after the countdown to midnight．But in a country that won’t celebrate its lunar New Year for six more weeks, I wondered what to expect as the 2001 calendar year came to a close earlier this week．

    　　To my surprise, it wasn’t much different form home．Many young Chinese appear just as determined to usher in(迎接)the New Year with music and dancing．

    　　Because I wanted a New Year with Chinese characteristics, I feasted on snake with a group of Westerners at a neighbourhood restaurant in Beijing．

    　　Although I wasn’t so keen on the slimy snake skin dish we accidentally ordered, I actually quite liked the rest of the snake．Perhaps my New Year’s resolution(决定)should be to try new things more often．

    　　At a Western pub near Sanlitun afterwards, I was surprised to see many Chinese faces in the crowd．As the countdown to 2002 began, the champagne flowed, joining Westerners and Chinese together in celebration．

    　　The many cultural differences between Britain and China no longer mattered at that moment．Revelers wished both friends and strangers all the best for 2002．

    　　Just as the Chinese attended the Western New Year with us, I hope we can partake in(参与)their festivities next month to welcome the year of the horse．

        Suddenly, a sharp cry of Barney came into the mother’s ears, and Lisa rushed into the backyard in a hurry and found a big snake entwining(缠绕) the little child with its terrible body and trying to eat the boy as its delicious dish! It was a boa(蟒)! Lisa was terrified and quite angry. She made up her mind to save her son from the snake’s mouth.

    It tastes just like chicken
    Away from home, eating is more than just a way to keep your stomach full．It is a language all its own, and no words can say, "Glad to meet you ．．．glad to be doing business with you ．．．" quite like sharing a meal offered by your host．
    Clearly, mealtime is not the time for you to say, "Thanks, but no thanks．" Acceptance of the food on your plate means acceptance of host, country, and company．So, no matter how difficult it may be to swallow, swallow．Or, as one experienced traveler says, "Travel with a cast-iron stomach and eat everything everywhere．"
    Often, the food offered represents proudly your host country’s eating culture．What would Ataiericans think of a French person who refused to take a bite of homemade apple pie or sirloin? Our discomfort comes not so much from the thing itself; it comes from our umamiliarity with it．After all, an oyster has remarkably the same look as a sheep’s eye; and a first look at a lobster would remind almost anybody of a creature from a science fiction movie, not something you dip in butter and eat．By the way, in Saudi Arabia sheep’s eyes are a famous dish and in parts of China it’s bear’s paw soup．
    Can you refuse such food without being rude? Most experienced business travelers say no, at least not before taking at least a few bites．It helps, though, to slice any item very thin．This way, you minimize the taste and the reminder of where it came from．Or, " Swallow it quickly, " as one traveler recommends．"I still can’t tell you what sheep’s eyeballs taste like．" As for dealing with taste, the old line that "it tastes just like chicken" is often thankfully true．Even when the "it" is really rat or snake．
    Another useful piece of advice is not knowing what you are eating．What’s for dinner? Don’t ask． Avoid glancing into the kitchen or looking at English-language menus．Your host will be pleased that you are eating the food he offers, and who knows? Maybe it really is chicken in that soup．
    【小题1】The purpose of the article is to ____．

    A．introduce unfamiliar food
    B．share the writer’s personal experiences
    C．suggest ways to overcome a cultural barrier
    D．advise on how to politely refuse to eat foreign food
