Some British and American people like to invite friends for a meal at home. You should not be upset (不安的) if your English friends don't invite you home. It doesn't mean they don't like you. Sometimes they just can't afford to do so.

Dinner parties usually start between 7 and 8 p.m. and end at about 11. Ask your hosts what time you should arrive. It's polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a gift.

Usually the evening starts with drinks and snacks. If you want to be extra polite, say how much you like the room, or the pictures on the wall. But remember: it's not polite to ask how much things cost.

In many families, the husband sits at one of the table and the wife sits at the other end. They eat with their guests.

You'll probably start the meal with soup or something small, then you'll have meat or fish with vegetables, and then dessert (甜點(diǎn)), followed by coffee. It's polite to finish everything on your plate and to take more if you want it.

Did you enjoy the evening? Call your hosts the next day, or write them a short "thank you" letter. British and American people like to say "thank you, thank you, thank you" all the time!

"Mabel, Mabel, strong and able, keep your elbows off the table." I was only 3 or 4 years old when my mom taught me this little rhyme (雅韻詩(shī)). She taught it to teach me polite table manners.

I wish learning table manners as an adult were that easy. However, each country has its own table manners and knowing all about them can give you a headache.

For example, knowing how much food to eat can be tricky (復(fù)雜的). In China I quickly learned that if I finished all the food, others would invite us to have more. It is polite to leave a bit of food on the dishes. In Finland, however, your host would be troubled if you left any food on your plate.

If you're in America and you do want more food, don't reach across the table for it. That would be considered uncivilized (沒有教養(yǎng)的). Instead you need to ask someone to pass you the dish.

What would you do if you walked into a restaurant and all the tables were full? In Germany or China, you might share a table with strangers. People in America, however, like more personal space better. They may think you strange if you sit at their table.

And after your meal, should you leave a tip? In some countries a tip is included in the meal price. In America, you need to leave extra money on the table to thank your server for the service.

Before you travel to a new country, be sure to pick up a good book on culture and customs. Take time to watch how the local people act and imitate them.

1.Which of the following countries is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. China. B. Finland. C. Germany. D. Japan.

A. ask someone to pass you the dish if you want more food

don't know, they will find_________.

A. you are very friendly B. you are very kind to others

C. you are very strange D. you are very clever

4.What does the underlined word "imitate" in the last paragraph probably mean?

A. To look at someone or something for a long time and not move your eyes.

B. To copy the way someone or something looks, sounds or behaves.

C. To make jokes about.

D. To put something down.
