Question

An American friend has invited you to visit his family. You’ve never been to an American’s home before, and you’re not sure what to do. Should you take a gift? How should you dress? What time should you arrive? What should you do when you get there? Glad you asked. When you’re the guest, you should just make yourself at home. That’s what hospitality(款待) is all about: making people feel at home when they’re not. 
The question of whether or not to bring a gift often makes guests squirm（難為情）. Giving your host a gift is not just a social manner in some cultures-it’s expected. But in American culture, a guest is not necessary to bring a present. Of course, some people do bring a small present to their host to show their thanks. The right gifts for the host might be flowers, candy, and you can bring toys if the family has small children. If you choose not to bring a gift, don’t worry. No one will even notice.

這是一閱讀理解題，目的是考查學(xué)生的閱讀理解能力。做這種題時大體瀏覽一下問題，帶著問題去讀，這樣會有的放矢。通讀短文，遇到陌生詞匯，在不影響理解的情況下可不去管它，如果影響了理解，可根據(jù)語言環(huán)境、構(gòu)詞法等去猜它的含義。在選擇答案時，可應(yīng)用排除法，這樣會提高正確率。1.可根據(jù)you’re not sure what to do做出正確選擇。2.可應(yīng)用排除法，ACD都不符合語言環(huán)境。3.可根據(jù)The right gifts for the host might be flowers, candy, and you can bring toys if the family has small children.確定答案。4.劃線一句的含義是“如果你選擇不帶禮物，別擔(dān)心，沒人會注意�！焙瓦x項C最接近。
