三、阅读单选（15小题，每小题2分，共30分）

When you hear British say “Drop in anytime” or “Come and see me soon” you should realize that it doesn’t mean you are welcome to come over to their house at anytime. It’s necessary to make a phone call before visiting someone, because British people think being on time is very important.

Never accept an invitation unless you really plan to go. You can refuse an invitation by saying, “Thank you for inviting me, but I’m sorry because I couldn’t come.” If you are unable to come after accepting the invitation, be sure to tell those who invite you in advance (提前) that you will not be there.

If you accept the invitation to a party or a dinner, maybe you should bring small gifts with you, such as bottles of drink, flowers and chocolate. It’s polite to do so, especially when you are invited for a meal. A thank-you note or a telephone call is also considered polite. Sometimes English people may take you out to have dinner in a restaurant. But it does not mean that he is going to pay the bill (账单) at the end of the meal. He might want a separate bill. That means each person pays his own bill.

Different countries have different customs. So if you want to get on well with friends from different countries, it’s important for you to learn about local customs.

Have you ever given gifts to your friends? Just like Chinese, Westerners give gifts on many vacations, such as on birthdays, at Christmas and some other holidays. Although gifts are always welcome, it is not necessary to exchange（交换）gifts at any time. People usually exchange gifts only among friends.

Usually when you are invited to dinner, you don’t need to bring gifts except on special or big occasions（场合）. For example, if your friend asks you to have dinner at his or her home on the weekend, you don’t have to bring a gift. But if you wish to bring something, the gifts should be small, simple and cheap. You might bring some sweets or some small toys for the children, or a book, some flowers, a bottle of wine for the host. If you want to make your gifts special, you can bring something from your hometown, like Chinese tea, Chinese paintings, Chinese paper cuttings or other things like that, or even you can cook a Chinese dish and bring it with you.

Westerners prefer to open gifts at once, and admire it. They would thank you and make some comments（评论）on the gift’s beauty so that you know they like your gift very much.

A．give gifts at any time and any places B．usually exchange gifts with their friends

I Enjoy It

This term, in order to develop the interest of the students, our school has different kinds of school-based courses. For example, there are traditional cultures, movie appreciation and DIY.

We can choose whatever we like. For me, I'm interested in making something in my free time, so I choose DIY. It is very interesting to make things according to my imagination. With the teacher's help, I can make beautiful cakes. Last week, I made a birthday cake for my mother. I sent my mother a gift for the first time. She was happy for my love, so was I.

DIY not only improves my ability to make things by myself, but also develops my creativity. I really enjoy it.
