一、阅读理解

• 1．Some British and American people like to invite friends for a meal at home．You should not be upset if your English friends don't invite you home．It doesn't mean they don't like you!
     Dinner parties usually start between 7 and 8 p．m．and end at about 11 p．m．Ask your hosts what time you should arrive．It's polite to bring flowers，chocolates or a bottle of wine as gifts．
