B. READING:
Read the passage carefully and make question with the words given, and after that answer the question.(2 marks)
If you are invited to someone’s house in America for dinner , you should bring a gift , such as a bunch of flowers or a box of chocolates . If you give your host a wrapped gift , he or she may open it in front of you. Opening a present in front of the gift-giver is considered polite . It shows that the host is excited about receiving the gift and want to show his or her appreciation to you immediately. Even if the host doesn’t like it , he or she will tell a “white lie” and say how much they like the gift to prevent the guest from feeling bad.
If your host asks you to arrive at a particular time, you should not arrive exactly on time or earlier than the expected time, because this is considered to be potentially inconvenient and therefore rude , as the host may not be ready.
