W: Hi, did you hear about my upcoming trip to New York?
M: I think I did hear something about it. You and Henry are attending some kind of function (大型聚会,典礼). right?
W: Yeah. It’s an anniversary celebration for one of the companies we do a lot of work with, you know, Walcon Electronics.
M: Right! Walcon is one of our biggest clients.
W: It’s Walcon’s 120th anniversary and they’re throwing a big party.
M: Well, you’ll have fun.
W: Yeah. But I’m a bit worried. I’ve never attended a function like this before. Look, here’s the invitation.
M: Oh! It’s a black-tie event. That means you have to wear an evening gown.
W: What? I don’t own an evening gown!
M: Not many people do. You can rent one, though.
W: Oh, wow! That means it’s going to be a very formal event, huh?
M: A black-tie event is about as formal as it gets. Men wear tuxedos (男士无尾礼服上衣) and ladies wear evening gowns.
W: What else should I expect?
M: Waiters will walk around serving drinks. Most of the guests will mainly stand around socializing with each other.
W: Have you ever been to a black-tie event?
M: Twice actually. And to be honest, it was a bit boring both times.
W: Aside from the dressing, is there anything else I need to wear or take with me?
M: I suggest keeping all other accessories (配饰) to a minimum.
W: I see. Any other tips or suggestions?
M: Keep your eyes open and just sort of do what everybody else does. And don’t get drunk or talk too loud or draw any attention to yourself!
W: OK, good points.
M: You and Henry are acting as representatives of the company, so you’re kind of like ambassadors.
W: Wow! Now I’m really stressed!
M: It’s not that hard. Just be a good conversationalist (健谈的人) and even more importantly, be a good listener. If someone makes a humorous remark, chuckle mildly, even if the comment isn’t very funny. And remember, always smile!
W: Can I rent the evening gown in New York?
M: Absolutely. Do some research before you go and find a good rental company. They will probably deliver it to your hotel. Make sure the dress fits well; otherwise, you can end up looking pretty silly.
W: How much should I expect to pay to rent an evening gown?
M: I’d say roughly $100. You could probably find some cheaper options, but you want to look good.
W: Thanks, Gary. I really appreciate your help.
M: Not at all. It should be an interesting experience for you.
W: I hope so.

答案
A
解析
由原文可知,男士告诫女士要睁大双眼,看别人做什么就做什么,但不要喝醉或大声讲话,不要把注意力吸引到自己的身上,另外,要做一个健谈的人,更重要的是,要做一个好的倾听者,如果有人讲了个笑话,即使不好笑,也要轻微地笑两声。因此答案为A。
