问题详情:
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? 36 When you're the guest, you should just make yourself at home.
37 Giving your host a gift is not just a social nicety in some cultures---it's expected. But in American culture, a guest is not required to bring a present. Of course, some people do bring a small token of appreciation to their host. Appropriate gifts for general occasions might be flowers, candy or---if the family has small children---toys. 38 It won't disappoint your host.
American hospitality(热情) begins at home---especially when it involves food. Most Americans agree that good home cooking beats restaurant food any day. When invited for a meal, you might ask, "Can I bring anything?" Unless it's a potluck, where everyone brings a dish, the host will probably respond, "No, just yourself." For most informal dinners, you should wear comfortable, casual clothes. Plan to arrive on time, or else call to inform your hosts of the delay.
While you are in the dinner conversation, it's customary to admire the hostess on the wonderful meal. 39 When you've had plenty, you might offer to clear the table or wash the dishes. But since you're the guest, your hosts may not let you. Instead, they may invite everyone to move to the living room for dessert with tea or coffee. 40 A. Do you believe this? B. What should you do when you get there?
C. In fact you can choose not to bring a gift. D. Of course, the biggest admiration is to eat lots of food! E. Speaking over dinner is considered rude manners. F. After an hour or so of general chit-chat, it's probably time to leave.
G. The question of whether or not to bring a gift often makes guests upset.
