阅读理解

If you’re invited to your British or American friend’s home for a meal at home,you should learn some table manners about their countries.

Their 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 a gift.

Usually the evening starts with drinks and snacks(小吃). If you want to be more 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 side 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(甜点),followed by coffee. It’s polite to finish everything on your plate and to take more if you want.

If  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” all the time!
