Dining Custom
Every land has its own dining custom, and the United States is no exception. Americans feel that the first rule of being a polite guest is to be on time. If a person is invited to dinner at 6: 30, the hostess expects him to be there at 6: 30 or not more than a few minutes after. Because she usually does her own cooking, she times the meal so that the coffee and meat will be at their best at the time she asks the guest to come. If he is late, the food will not be so good, and the hostess will be disappointed. When the guest can not come on time, he calls his host or hostess on the telephone, gives the reason, and tells at what time he thinks he can come.
As guests continue to arrive, the men in the group stand when a woman enters and remain standing until she found a chair. A man always rises when he is being introduced to a woman. A woman does not rise when she is being introduced either to a man or a woman unless the woman is much older.
When the guests sit down at a dinner table, it is customary for the men to help the ladies by pushing their chairs under them.
Even an American may be confused by the number of knives, forks, and spoons besides his plate when he sits down to a formal dinner. The rule is simple, however: use them in the order in which they lie, beginning from the outside. Or watch the hostess and do what she does. The small fork on the outside on the left is for salad, which is often served with the soup. The spoon on butter spreader, on a small bread-and-butter plate at the left. As the bread is passed, each quest puts his piece on the bread-and-butter plate.

答案及解析
1. 答案為B。文章第一段的第一句是說“每個國家都有自己的飲食風俗，美國也不例外。”
2. 答案為A。答案查找的相關線索詞：on time(準時) 和coffee and meat（咖啡和肉）。于是先在第一段的第二句中找到on time，并在該段的第四句發現coffee and meat，再看該句的語義：“因為女主人計算時間做飯，以便當客人在預期的時間里到達時可以享受到最可口的咖啡和飯菜”，所以該說法正確。
3. 答案為B。該問題說“當一個婦女被介紹給一個年長的男人時，她通常站起來。”答案查找的相關線索詞：woman(婦女)和an aged gentleman（一個年長的男人）。于是先在第二段的最后一句中找到woman和old( aged的近義詞）。而該句說的是“年長的人的婦女”這種情況，而不是年長的男人，所以該說法不正確。
4. 答案為C。該問題說“在餐桌上，按照習俗男人應為女人安排座位。”答案查找的相關線索詞：arrange chairs for ladies(為女人安排座位)或該短語的同義短語/句子。于是不難發現原文中并沒提到該動作，所以答案為C。
5. 答案為A。該問題說“在正式的美國宴席上，盤子旁邊的刀，叉子和調羹按一定的順序擺放。”。答案查找的相關線索詞：knives, forks and spoons(刀，叉子和調羹)。于是不難發現在第三段的第一句發現knives, forks and spoons，并在隨后的一句發現提到了順序。該句說“原則是按照它們擺放的順序使用。”，所以刀，叉子和調羹是有擺放順序的。
6. 答案為B。該問題說“在正式的美國宴席上，盤子旁邊的刀，叉子和調羹的使用順序是從坐到右。”。這道題與前一題相關，在前一題我們已發現了涉及刀，叉子和調羹擺放順序的句子，而該句說“從外到里”，所以應是從右到左，而不是從坐到右。
7. 答案為C。該問題說“在正式的美國宴席上，面包通常和色拉和湯一塊兒吃。”。答案查找的相關線索詞：bread 和soup。于是不難在原文的第三段的四句中發現“色拉和湯一塊兒吃”的說法，但并沒提到面包，所以答案為C。
