阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Generally we know a little about the western people and their ways of life. When the difference is 61. （ wide) than our expectation, it becomes a cultural shock.
Cultural 62. （ shock) may come in different ways. Once my friend, 63. businessman, after concluding a business with his suppliers in Hangzhou, 64. （ whisper)to me, “Do we have to dine (进餐） together with them? ”I knew he was not sure of our dinner culture and reassured (使安心） him, “Yes, if you wish, 65. not necessary.” He did choose to dine with the suppliers but I don't think he enjoyed it. Hard as I tried 66. （ focus) the dialogue on my friend, the suppliers always talked to me, 67. （ leave) my friend seated there listening to a(n) 68. （ relevant) conversation.
People who are familiar 69. Chinese ways know Chinese people drink hot water, and always remind their friends not to drink 70. （ direct)when they receive a cup of water. I, too, don't take any chance, either ask my clients whether they need chilled water or normal or remind them the water might be hot.
China is an open country now and the cultural exchange has been quite frequent over the last 30 years. Such cultural shocks are less and less shocking.
