First of all, arrive roughly on time (but not early). Being a few minutes late might give the cook more time to finish preparing the dinner, so it’s OK to be 10 or 15 minutes late but not 45 minutes late. Dinner might be overcooked by then. When you’re invited to someone’s home for a meal, it’s polite to bring a gift. Flowers or candy are always appropriate. If you have an attractive item made in your native country, your host and hostess will certainly enjoy receiving that as a gift.If you are served some food you don’t like or can’t eat, don’t make a fuss a bout it. If your host doesn’t say anything about what you aren’t eating, then you shouldn’t, either. Simply eat what you can and hope that no one notices what you’ve left. If you are questioned, you may have to admit you don’t eat meat (or whatever), but you can also say that you’ve enjoyed the other foods and have had “more than enough” to eat. Don’t make the cook feel obliged (被迫) to prepare something else for you. Be sure to praise the cook on the food you’ve enjoyed.Don’t leave immediately after dinner, but don’t overstay your welcome (做客时间过久)，either. When your friends seem to be getting tired and running out of conversation, take their behavior as a cue (暗示) to leave. The next day, call or write a thank-you note to say how much you enjoyed the evening.36. If you are served some food you don’t like, you should_____.A. just eat what you canB. force yourself to eat it upC. tell the host that you don’t like itD. ask the cook to prepare something else37.

For example, if I came home after eating lots of chocolate cakes at the neighbor’s house, she would look at me and say, “How many times do I have to tell you that you shouldn’t eat between meals?”I would look at her amazed. How could she see across the street and through the walls of my friend’s house, while she was cleaning the bathroom floor?“How did you know that?” I asked, wiping crumbs (碎屑) from my chin.“A mother always knows,” she said, “I can read your forehead.”And the further away from home I was, the more she seemed to know. I arrived at college for my freshman year, feeling lost and homesick. As I settled down on the dormitory bed for a good cry, my mother walked in the door.“You forgot your pillow (枕头),” she said and handed me the very one I had used the night before.I had done my own packing and had shut the door to my room when we left the house to drive to college.
