2、uld wait until the host asks, May I take your coat? If you are lucky enough to arrive to a formal dinner party in Paris, you should mind your manner.

3、tess will deal with finding a vase when she is too busy to do that. Though the French love wine, you must never bring a bottle of wine to a dinner party. Why?

4、 hostess will pass after dinner with coffee. Another thing you should remember: it is not polite to use the bathroom in a private house.

5、 1.

6、 the house dirtyB.it will bring bad luck to the hostC.you will catch a coldD.it will make the host nervous答案:D解析 細節(jié)題。從第1段第1、第2句可以知道，如果客人一進門就脫大衣意味著客人會待很長時間，這會讓主人感到很緊張。3.

7、題。見第4段最后一句：“You may, however, offer a box of chocolate which the hostess will pass after dinner with coffee.”一般來說，晚餐后會喝咖啡，所以你帶一盒巧克力作為禮物送給女主人比較貼心。4.

8、 too busy to find a vase.C.Because the host has no vase at home.D.Because flowers mean bad luck in France.答案:B解析 語義題。本題先要理解impolite的詞義，才能正確回答這個問題。第3段的意思是說，如果你帶了鮮花作為禮物，會讓主人在很忙的狀況下去找花瓶插花，這顯然是不太禮貌的行為。5. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.It is polite to use the bathroom in a private house.

9、B.In France people usually have coffee after a dinner.C.You should never help the hostess in the kitchen.D.French people like wine.答案:A解析 是非題。最后一段第一句說，你應記住一件事，那就是在私人住宅赴宴時使用洗手間是不禮貌的行為。選項A與句子意思相反。Task 2 Peter Fern was mad on mountains.
