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 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 have tickets for a
movie."
Sometimes, however (但是), people use expressions that sound like invitations but which are not real
invitations. For example:
"Please come over for a drink sometime (某个时候)."
"Why not get together for a party 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 (提到) a specific (确定的) time or date. They just show that the person is trying
to be friendly. To reply the 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
the person is just being friendly?
B. Because they can spend less money.
C. Because they enjoy entertaining at home.
D. Because they have modern and beautiful houses.
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?
B. How about this weekend?
C. Oh, sorry, I'm very busy.
D. That's great. I'll be there on time.

C. they're trying to make friends with others
D. They haven't got ready (准备) for a party yet
B. real invitations or not
C. expressions of starting of a conversation
D. ways of ending a conversation

High in the mountains, and deep in the forest, lives a lake with many plants and animals in and around her. The plants and animals have enough food and clean water to keep them healthy. The wind carries pure air, and the rain comes down clear and clean.
But recently, Lucy Lake and her friends haven’t been feeling very well. All the plants and animals get together to talk about the problem. “Why are we sick?” “What can we do?” ask all of them. No one has any answers.
Just then two hikers appear. The animals tell them about their problems. “Can you help us?” they ask. “Yes,” one hiker says. “I think it’s because of acid rain.”
“Acid rain comes from chemicals(化学物质) in the air. The pollution comes from factories, cars and trucks.”
“So, although I don’t want to, I help the pollution travel through the air!” says the wind. “And I carry it to the land!” cries the rain.
“If you can help us think of some solutions(解决方法), we will send a message to tell people how to clean up our environment,” one hiker says.
With the help of the plants and animals, the two hikers make a list of ideas for saving Lucy Lake and her friends.
Time passes, and the forest and lake begin to feel a little better.
The next time the hikers climb up the mountains to Lucy Lake, they smile at what they find. “We’re glad things have started to change,” one hiker says. “And we’re glad you helped us make a difference,” says the other.
