　　Letter A

　　Dear Rose,

　　I like your programs very much. I'm now writing to ask you something about American social customs. My American friends want me to join them in their dinner party. I am very happy arid have decided to go but I'm a little worried about it, too. The social customs in my country are very different from here, and I know little about American ones.

　　Should I bring a present, such as sweets or flowers? Should I arrive on time or a little late? At the dinner table, how can I use the fork and knife? How can I let the family know that I'm thankful for their kindness?

Wang Lin

　　Letter B

　　Dear Wang Lin,

　　It's a good idea to bring a small present when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always nice, or you may bring a bottle of wine if you know that your friends drink it.

　　You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Don't get there early. If you're going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them. Try to be free at the dinner table. If you don't know how to use the fork and knife, just watch the other people, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, ask the person next to you.

　　If you like the food, say so. Of course, you'll thank them for the meal and for their kindness. It's also a good idea to send a thank you card the clay after.

Rose

1．Wang Lin wants to ________.

[　　]

A．make friends with Rose

B．know some social customs for a dinner party

C．make her friends happy

D．give her friends a surprise

2．If you are asked to a dinner party but not sure about what to bring as a present, it's good to bring ________.

[　　]

A．some fruits

B．a(chǎn) bottle of wine

C．some flowers

D．a(chǎn) knife and a fork

3．Which of the following is not proper(適當(dāng)?shù)? for joining in a dinner party?

[　　]

A．Get there 15 minutes earlier.

B．Make yourself at home.

C．Follow others to use the fork and knife.

D．Thank your friends for the meal.

4．From the letters we've learned that it's very ________ to know something about American social customs.

[　　]

A．difficult
B．friendly
C．enjoyable
D．helpful
答案：B;C;A;D
解析：

　　1．B（綜合分析判斷題．從Letter A第一段中第二句就可以看出，Wang Lin寫信的目的是想了解一些在美國有關(guān)宴會的社交習(xí)慣．）

　　2．C（考查能否準(zhǔn)確掌握文中所提示信息的題目．Rose回信的首句曾提到赴宴時帶上小禮品是個好主意．由Letter B第一段中Flowers are always nice，or you may bring a bottle of wine if you know that your friends drink it．可知，在美國赴宴時把花作為禮物總是好事．如果你知道朋友喝酒才可以帶酒，其言外之意就是如果你不知道朋友是否喝酒，對帶什么禮品沒有把握時，就最好帶上花．）

　　3．A（正誤判斷題．根據(jù)Rose在回信中所陳述的在美國赴宴時的社交習(xí)慣，如Try to be free at the dinner table．If you don't know how to use the fork and knife，just watch the other people，and follow them．和…you'll thank them for the meal and for their kindness．可以看出，B、C、D項符合社交習(xí)慣．根據(jù)Letter B中，Rose在回信第二段中所說的You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late．Don't get there early．可以判斷出，在美國提前15分鐘到達(dá)宴會地點是不適當(dāng)?shù)模?/P>

　　4．D（有關(guān)結(jié)論方面的問題．中西方由于文化背景不同，人們的生活習(xí)慣不同，思維模式不同導(dǎo)致了社交習(xí)慣的不同．通過閱讀詢問和回復(fù)有關(guān)美國社交習(xí)慣的兩封信，我們可以得出了解有關(guān)美國社交習(xí)慣的一些情況是很有益處的結(jié)論．）

little.
