【解析】现在，越来越多的人有机会去旅行、学习、工作甚至生活在国外。本文介绍了几点关于礼貌举止的一般规则。

【1】1. rules 有these修饰，用复数，general rules 一般规则。

【2】2. are invited ，invite跟主语you之间是被动关系，用一般现在时态的被动语态are invited

【3】3. it it作形式主语，代指不定式to bring a small gift. 当你被邀请到别人家里吃饭时，带一份小礼物是礼貌的。

【4】4. made made在此处作后置定语，修饰item，如果你带一份你自己国家制造的东西作为礼物，主人会很乐意接受的。

【5】5. .importance 介词of之后需用名词形式，本小题考查“be of + 抽象名词”结构。餐桌礼仪也很重要。

【6】6. unless 不要开口说话，除非（unless）你咽下了嘴里的食物。指的是不要满口食物时说话。

【7】7. closed 考查with复合结构，close和mouth之间为被动关系，所以用过去分词closed作宾补。咀嚼食物的时候要闭着嘴。

【8】8. for 考查固定搭配reach for sth. 伸手去拿某物。

【9】9. immediately 修饰动词用副词形式，立刻（immediately）离开。 饭后不要立刻离开，但也不要逗留太久。

【10】10. a 考查冠词。a note 一张便条。第二天打个电话或者写一张便条，说承蒙款待，表示感谢。
