第二节 短文理解 1
阅读下面短文，从[A](Right)、[B](Wrong)、[C](Doesn’t Say)三个判断中选择一个正确选项。
Etiquette(礼节) is important at a Chinese dinner party. Usually, the host(主人) should politely ask the guests to be seated first before he sits down. If there is a speech, people stop eating and drinking to listen. Every time a dish is brought out, the host asks the guests to try it first. Guests would not start eating the dish until the host asks them to. While eating, people should stop often to talk for a while. Eating all the time without stopping is not polite, and could be laughed at. Usually, people do not finish a dish. A finished dish would suggest that there is not enough of the dish to eat, which may make the host embarrassed( 不好意思的), so people would not usually pick up the last piece off a plate. During a meal, the host asks the guests again and again to eat and drink more. Without this, some people may feel embarrassed about how much they eat. From time to time, people pick up food to give it to those sitting beside them. The host keeps the guests company all the way through the dinner. He would not finish until all the guests do so.

24 March
Dear Julie,
I’m sorry I haven’t written for a while, but I’ve been busy at work and have spent almost all my spare time looking for a flat(公寓). I saw a really nice place this morning--a third floor flat with two bedrooms. I have been tired of living in this hotel.
I met a very nice Japanese couple(夫妇) the other night and they’ve asked me to spend a weekend with them at their house in the country. It’ll be nice to get away from Tokyo for a few days. The only problem is that they don’t speak much English, and my Japanese is still very poor.
By the way, I can’t remember if I thanked you for the things you sent me. Believe me, they’ll be really useful when I get a flat and start doing a bit of cooking for myself.
I’m afraid I’ll have to finish now. Sorry it’s a short letter but I’ve planned to go out with some friends. I’ll write again at the end of the week. Until then, take care of yourself and give my love to Tim.
Love,
John
