When you’re invited to have dinner at a foreigner’s home, please remember the followings.

At the table, when the hostess(女主人) picks up her napkin, you may pick up yours and put it on your legs.

If a servant(佣人) passes food around, he will pass the dish to you at your left hand so that you can easily serve yourself with your right hand. Never serve yourself while the dish is on your right. It is then the turn of your neighbour on the right.

Do not reach across the table to get something in front of someone. That is not polite. Ask him or her to pass it to you.

There are things in the middle of the table, such as bread, butter, and candies. You shouldn’t take any until the hostess tells the servant to pass them to you.

Do not leave your seat without saying anything. If you need to leave the table to go to the washroom or do something else, you should say “Excuse me for a moment, please. ”

根据短文内容，判断正(T)误(F)。

1.You should put your napkin on your legs before the hostess picks up hers.

2.The dish is passed to you on either side.

3.If the food is far from you, you shouldn’t stand up to serve yourself.

4.You may take any food at any time.

5.When you have to leave your seat, you need to say “Excuse me for a moment, please. ”

A college teacher invited two businessmen(商人) to dinner at his home. One of the two men never went to schoo1 and was worried that he couldn't answer other men's questions correctly. But his friend said, “Don't worry, Tom，just do what I do, and don't talk about anything if you don't understand it.”

Everything went on quite well, but by the end of the evening, Tom had had a lot of drink, and began to get careless.

One of the guests asked him if he liked Mark Twain, and Tom answered, "It's pleasant, but I like Scotch(苏格兰威士忌酒) better." All the guests in the room kept quiet for a moment, and soon they began to leave.

When the two men were out of the house, the friend said to Tom, "You certainly made yourself a fool because you told Scotch foolishly（愚蠢地）."

"What do you mean?" asked the other man."What was wrong with it?"

"We all know that Mark Twain isn't a kind of drink, "his friend answered, "It's a kind of music."

If an American friend invites you to his or her home for dinner, keep in mind these important rules.

First of all, arrive on time but not early. Americans expect promptness. It’s OK to be ten or fifteen minutes late but not forty-five minutes late.

Second, it is polite to bring a small gift. Flowers or candies are always good. If you take a special gift that is made in your own country, your friend will certainly enjoy accepting that.

Wearing beautiful clothes and a smile are good but not enough. Table manners are also very important. Don’t talk when you are eating food. Also, chew food with your mouth closed. When you want to get food that is a little far from you, do not stretch your hands to reach for it. Ask others to pass the food to you.

Don’t leave at once after dinner, but don’t stay at your friend’s house for too long, either. When your friend seems to be getting tired, tell him or her that you need to leave. The next day, call or write to say how much you enjoyed the evening.
