K e y t o E x e r c i s e s Opener

Suggested answers for reference:

1. In China it is a familiar scene that grandparents take their

grandchildren to or from school every day, which, however, seldom happens in the West. There parenting responsibility mainly rests with the parents rather than others.

2. In general there is not much difference between Western and

Chinese tourists. If any, it seems that Chinese like to pose for photos with the scenery as the background, whereas Westerners often just shoot pictures of scenic spots.

3. Well, it's true that many Western employees see them and their

boss as equals, but anywhere, anytime, you and your boss are never equals in its truest sense. There always exists a gap in between.

Compared with Westerners, Chinese employees might tend to be more forbearing (克制) towards their boss and seldom air their

grievances publicly.
