　　In Canada and the United States, people enjoy entertaining at home. They
often invite friends to come over for a meal, a party, or just for coffee and a
conversation.
　　Here are the kinds of things people say  when they invite someone to their
home:
　　"Would you like to come over for dinner  this Saturday night?"
　　"Hey, we're having a party on Friday. Can you come?"
　　To reply to an invitation, either say thank you and accept, or say you're
sorry and give an excuse:
　　"Thanks, I'd love to. What time would you like me to come?" or "Oh, sorry.
I've tickets to a movie."
　　Sometimes, however, people use expressions that sound like invitations but
which are not real invitations. For  example :
　　"Please come over for a drink sometime."
　　"Why don't you come over and see us sometime soon?"
　　They are really just polite ways of ending a conversation. They are not real
invitations because they don't mention a  specific (確定的) time or date. They
just show that the person is trying to be friendly. To reply to expressions like
these, people just say "Sure, that would be great!" or "OK. / Yes, thanks."
　　So next time when you hear what sounds like an invitation, listen carefully.
Is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly?
1. Why do Canadians and Americans often invite friends for meals at home?
A. Because they can save time.
B. Because they can spend less money.
C. Because they enjoy entertaining at home.
D. Because they have modern and beautiful  houses.
2. Which of the following is a real  invitation?
A. If you're free, let's go for a drink sometime.
B. Please go to the cinema with me some day.
C. Would you like to have a cup of tea with us  sometime?
D. I've two tickets here. Can you go to the  concert with me tonight?
3. If people say "Let's get together forlunch some day", you just say "_____".
A. That would be nice.
B. How about this weekend?
C. Oh,  sorry. I'm very busy.
D. That's great. I'll be there on time.
4. People use "an unreal invitation" in  order to(為了) show that _____.
A. they're trying to be friendly
B. they're trying to be helpful
C. they're trying to make friends
D. they're trying to be useful
5. The passage is mainly about _____.
A. entertainment at home

　　Dear Sir or Madam，

　　Last Thursday，I traveled on the 8：00 a．m．train from Glasgow to London

King’s Cross and I was quite angry with the service of your company．

　　The train didn’t come on time and it was forty minutes late when it left Glasgow．

A man at the station said sorry to us，but he didn’t give us any reasons for the delay(誤點(diǎn))．We then had further delays on the way and had to wait another thirty minutes．As a result，I missed my plane from London to Frankfurt and had to wait for several hours.

　　What’s more，the service on the train was also very poor．The trip took more than five hours．Unluckily，we could buy nothing but some soft drinks on the train．Worst of all，something was wrong with the air conditioning(空調(diào)系統(tǒng)) and it got hotter and hotter in the train．Before we reached King’s Cross，the temperature was over 40℃．

　　Because of your poor service，I feel you should pay me compensation(賠償)．

　　I am looking forward to hearing from you．

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Yours faithfully，

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 David Robertson
