【答案解析】[解析] 19-22 M: Here, Alice. I brought some tea. W: Thanks, Mark. Too bad it's not apple tea, like in Turkey. M: You really like the food in Turkey, Alice? W: Yeah. But you know what I couldn't get used to? People expected me to eat so much food. M: Yes, it's polite to offer a lot of food. W: I know. I also learned that it's not polite for the guest to accept the offer of food at first. M: Yes, that's definitely true! If you're the guest, you must refuse the first two offers of food. W: The first time I had dinner at a Turkish home, I felt rude refusing food. So every time the host offered me something, I ate it. M: You must leave some food on your plate. That way the host knows that you're full. W: Oh, is that the trick? M: Yes. You know the first time I had dinner at an American home. When my host offered me a second helping of food, I said "no" only to be polite. But he didn't offer again! I really wanted some more, but I didn't know how to ask. W: Americans think it's not polite to force you to eat if you don't want more. So if you say "no" the first time, we believe you and don't offer again. Well, would you like something to eat? M: Oh, yes, I would. Thank you! 19. What kind of tea does the woman like?
