In Canada and the United States, people enjoy entertaining(請(qǐng)客)at home. They often invite friends over for a meal, a party, or just for coffee and conversation.
Here are the kinds of things people say when they invite someone to their home:
" Would you like to come over for dinner on Saturday night? "
" Hey, we're having a party on Friday. Can you come'? "
To reply to an invitation, either say thank you and accept(接受), or say you're sorry and give an excuse(借口):
" Thanks, I'd love to. What time would you like me to come?" or " Oh, sorry. I've tickets for a movie." Sometimes, however, people use expressions(措辭)that sound like invitations, but which are not real invitations(邀請(qǐng)). For example:
" Please come over for a drink sometime? "
" Why not get together for a party sometime? "
"Why don't you come over and see us sometime soon?"
They are really just polite ways of ending a conversation. They are not real invitations because they don't tell time or date. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly. To reply to expressions like these, people just say: "Sure, that would be nice!" or "OK. Yes, thanks."
So next time when you hear what sounds like an invitation. Is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly?

解析試題分析：這篇文章介紹了在美國和加拿大，人們請(qǐng)客時(shí)候的一些禮節(jié)。文章還列舉了哪些語言是真正的邀請(qǐng)，哪些是出于禮貌和友好，只是象征性的邀請(qǐng)；還告訴我們針對(duì)不同的邀請(qǐng)應(yīng)該如何回應(yīng)。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章信息In Canada and the United States, people enjoy entertaining at home.可知，他們喜歡在家里請(qǐng)客。故選C。
【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章信息They are not real invitations because they don't tell time or date.可知，沒有具體時(shí)間和日期的邀請(qǐng)不是真正的邀請(qǐng)。故ABC項(xiàng)都是出于禮貌的，不是真正的邀請(qǐng)；只有D項(xiàng)是真正的邀請(qǐng)。故選D。
【小題3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章信息可知，"Let's get together for lunch some day"不是真正的邀請(qǐng)，to reply to expressions like these, people just say: "Sure, that would be nice!" or "OK. Yes, thanks." 故選D。
【小題4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章信息They just show that the person is trying to be friendly.可知，人們發(fā)出這樣的邀請(qǐng)只是為了表示友好。故選A。

Our new foreign students are going to arrive very soon, and here are some ways to communicate with them politely.
How close do you stand when you talk to a friend? You can stand close to people in the Middle East but don’t stand too close to North Americans! Give them more personal space.
Do you know How to touch people correctly? Chinese girls often walk arm in arm with their friends. South Americans sometimes hold your arm when they talk to you, so you can’t move away! But in Britain many people don’t like other people to touch them at all.
Do you look at people when you talk? In some places, it isn’t polite to look at people when you talk, but in other countries it isn’t polite to look somewhere else. In Britain and the US, people usually look at each other when they talk.

Hello, I’m Peter in the second grade. Now I have one thing to say: It’s not easy being a kid. Being a kid might look like fun, but sometimes it’s not fun at all.
Yesterday I was playing outside with my friend. We were having a good time. But suddenly, my mother said, “Peter, it’s time to come inside now. It’s getting dark.” When you’re an adult, no one can tell you what to do or when to do it.
When you are a kid, you have to get up early in the morning and go to school. At school, you have to study math, English, science and history. After school, you have to do your homework. When you are an adult, you do not have to go to school and you never have homework to do.
When you are a kid, the older kids sometimes pick on you. When I was walking home from school on Monday, Tom and Steve bothered me. Steve took my schoolbag and put it in a tree. It made me very mad. When you are an adult, no one can pick on you.
When you are a kid, you have to go to bed early. On school nights, my mom asks me to go to bed at 9:00 pm. But I do have parents who love me, which is really great. So I think I like being a kid, even though it’s not easy being a kid.
