Despite the fact that, traditionally, Chinese dont like to eat any raw cooking dishes, salads have also been popular. There are at least a kind of soup at the dinner, which can be served either at first or at last. Dessert and fruit are the sign that the dinner is come to the end.待客之道 hospitality中国宴席 Chinese banquet菜单 menu开席 open seats凉菜 cold dishes热菜 hot food全鱼 a whole fish海鲜 seafood特色菜 specialty传统中式菜肴 traditional Chinese dishes牛排 the steak沙拉 salad烹饪 cooking一道汤 a soup甜点 the dessert版本三：中国 中国是世界上最古老的文明之一。构成现代世界基础的许多元素起源于中国。中国现在拥有世界上发展最快的经济，并正经历着一次新的工业革命。中国还启动了雄心勃勃的太空探索计划，其中包括到2020年建成的一个太空站。目前，中国是世界最大的出口国之一，并正在吸引大量外国投资。同时，它也在海外投资数十亿美元。2011年，中国超越日本成为世界第二大经济体。 China is one of the oldest civilizations in the world.
