British people place considerable value on punctuality. If you agree to meet friends at three o’clock, you can bet that they’ll be there just after three. Since Britons are so time conscious, the pace of life may seem very rushed. In Britain, people make great effort to arrive on time. It is often considered impolite to arrive even a few minutes late. If you are unable to keep an appointment, it is expected that you call the person you are meeting.
If you are invited to someone’s house for dinner at half past seven, it is considered good manners to arrive ten to fifteen minutes "late". An invitation might state "7 : 30 to 8: 00", in which case you should arrive no later than 7: 50. However, if an invitation says "sharp", you must arrive in plenty of time.
"Drop in anytime" and "come see me soon" are idioms often used in social settings but seldom meant to be taken literally. It is wise to telephone before visiting someone at home. Although it is not necessarily expected that you give a gift to your host, it is considered polite to do so, especially if you have been invited for a meal. Flowers, chocolate, or a small gift are all appropriate. A thank-you note or telephone call after the visit is also considered polite and is an appropriate means to express your appreciation for the invitation.
选项
A、after 8: 15.
B、no later than 7: 30.
C、no later than 7: 50.
D、at 8: 00.
答案
C
解析
此题考查听细节的能力。注意第二段的主题句的最后一个单词late,然后作者又举了一个例子,正好和第一题吻合,所以此题仍旧是细节的相关考察。An invitation might state“7:30 to 8: 00”,in which case you should arrive no later than 7:50.在英国请别人来自己家的吃饭或者拜访的时候,最好的礼貌方式就是在开始时间推后十到二十分钟的时间拜访。如果主人说sharp必须准时,就应该在指定时间到场。
