【歐美文化】感受五花八門的美式派對
I was asked to have a dinner party at the biggest restaurant in my hometown - Richmond today. I was very busy, so I had no time to change for dinner. Then I drove there as soon as possible. But when I came in, no one saw me and gave me a seat. I got angry. Then I went back home, put on my best clothes. At about nine o'clock, I returned again.
This time, everyone stood up at once and said "hello" to me. And I was taken to the best table and the best food. I got much angrier. I took off my coat, put it on the food and said: "Please eat, my dear coat." They were very surprised and asked, "Why are you doing this?" I said, "________."

解析:這道題為常識題,因為作者故鄉(xiāng)的Richmond在美國,所以作者也是美國人,選擇C。
2. B
解析:But when I came in, no one saw me and gave me a seat. I got angry.這兩句告訴我們作者因為無人招待而生氣,故選擇B。
3. D
解析:This time, everyone stood up at once and said "hello" to me.這句說明很多人與作者打招呼,當(dāng)然不會沒有注意到他,故選擇D。
4. Don't judge man by clothes.
解析:作者在換衣服前后受到了截然不同的對待,此舉在諷刺其他人以貌取人,故意為不要通過衣服來評價一個人。
5. You gave the food to my coat, not to me.
解析:作者前后受到不一樣的待遇,以及結(jié)合后來作者的行為可知應(yīng)如此回答。
