The rules about how to talk, eat and sit, which are highly limited, are observed in most Western restaurants and homes. 36 Many Westerners have no idea how to act at the Chinese dinner table. No forks or knives for them to use! The Chinese host makes great, sweeping arm movements that go over large sections of the table, passing over both food and friends alike. 37 However, it leaves many foreigners at a loss for what to do.
In my childhood home, dinner was enjoyed with low voices, and the topics that we could discuss were very limited. 38 If I had to leave the table to use the toilet, I had to excuse myself without mentioning what it was that I was going to do. “May I be excused, please? I need to wash my hands.” I would say. My mother would say, “Sure.” My father would often play a joke on me by saying, “ 39 ”
As for eating, we did it quietly. No eating noises were allowed. Everything must be done as quietly as possible. If any sound was created by eating food or drinking, it would be considered as bad manners!
40 He is to sit up straight with the recessive hand (usually the left) in one’s lap holding a napkin while the dominant hand (usually the right) holds the fork or spoon. The only time one is allowed to have both hands on the table is when he is using a knife to cut something.

There were some 41 examples in 2014, and I have 42 two that inspired me.
One example of sportsmanship took place in the Sochi Olympics. Russian Anton Gafarov was hobbling(蹒跚而行) along the track, far 43 the rest of the skiers. One of his skis(滑雪板) was broken. He had tried to 44 with the damaged equipment. Canadian ski coach Justin Wadsworth was the only one who had an extra. Wadsworth didn’t want Gafarov to finish slowly, hobbling across the line. He wanted him to finish with 45. The Canadian skiers were already out of the race, giving Wadsworth two 46 : Leave Gafarov to hobble across the line on one ski, 47 give him the spare one. Wadsworth gave him the extra ski, 48 Gafarov to get second place in the quarter-finals. 49 , he came in sixth in the semi-finals. 50 was Wadsworth who helped Gafarov complete his Olympic dream.
The other example took place in the 2014 World Cup quarter-final match between Brazil and Colombia. The game had just ended. Brazil had won, 2-1. Brazil was 51 on the sidelines, cheering and having a good time. Colombian midfielder James Rodriguez had just had his World Cup dream tore apart 52 scoring a record-breaking six goals in the competition. Brazil defender David Luiz walked over to him, pointed at him, and 53 the crowd to acknowledge him. He then declared his 54 for a game well played and 55 him for his wonderful World Cup performance. It made both the crowd and Rodriquez 56 .
As an athlete, I know it’s easy to get caught up in the 57 of a game. But I also know that 58 is just as important as losing and winning.
Always remember to 59 your opposing team. Play hard, but play fair. And always be nice. It’s the right thing to do and it always 60 .
