There
are
two
types
of
party
attendees
(
参加者
):
Those
who
count
the minutes until they can go home, and those who
stay until the early hours of morning.
Regardless of which category you fall
into, though, you must have secretly wondered
about
the best time to head out the
door. __1__ Not only do you want to avoid being
impolite, but you
also don't want to
overstay your welcome. Thankfully, Thomas Blaikie
can help you out with this
delicate
matter.
According
to
Blaikie,
there is a golden time to
leave
the
gathering without appearing
rude.

__ If
it's a sit?down dinner party, but you have to
leave for something urgent, you should
remain until all courses have been
served. It's considered rude to leave before
dessert. __3__

drink in your hand can easily make you lose track
of the time. And
don't
worry
about
hurting
your
host
if
you
must
turn
down
an
offer.
After
all,
your
host
is
tired
out.
This
advice
depends
on
how
well
you
know
your
host,
of
course.
__5__

might
appreciate
it if you stayed
behind to help clean up. In that case, you'll need

F
考查上下文衔接。
本
段第一句谈到了这些建议要根据你对主人的了解程度来使用。

，故选
F
。

learned
how

the world in a new
way. __1__ With that
in mind, I'd like to share three reading

searchable book notes is important for returning

is no need to leave the task of reading
comprehension merely up to your memory.

__3__
When you go to the library, all of the
books will be divided into different categories.
In
the real world, of course, knowledge
is not separated into neatly defined boxes. __4__
For that
reason, I try to consider how
the book I'm reading is connected with all of the
ideas that are
already
inside
my
head.
Whenever
possible,
I
try
to
combine
the
lessons
I'm
learning
with
previous
ideas.

__5__ It forces me to review my notes

book again.

the
emotional

The “honeymoon

by different
cultural values and lifestyles. During this stage,
people have positive images of
their
new
cultural
surroundings.
They
tend
to
view
these
in
an
idealistic
way
and
ignore
problems.

This stage is usually quite short and quickly
replaced by the second stage called “the
frustration stage”．
During the “frustration
stage”，
newcomers begin to act
negatively. __3__ Visitors tend
to
exaggerate (
夸大
) problems in
the new culture. They may feel isolated
(
孤立的
) during this
stage. Depending on one's situation,
this stage can last days, months, or even years.
With the frustration stage ending, the
adjustment stage begins. This marks the time when
newcomers try their best to accept the
differences of the new culture and the challenges
of
everyday life.

stage”
