--- I _______ he's at home.
B. think
C. see
D. know
As I was leaving to meet Lynne, my roommate told me that I'd better take some money, but I didn't listen to him. I thought that Lynne would pay because she had invited me.
I arrived at the restaurant exactly on time. I'd been told that Americans expect you to be on time. Lynne and I sat at a table in the corner of the restaurant and a waitress came and took our order.
The dinner was a great success. I talked a lot about Saudi Arabia and Lynne told me all about herself. After two hours the waitress finally came and asked if we wanted one check or two. Lynne said two. We went to the cashier (出纳员) and Lynne paid her check (帐单) . I was embarrassed (窘迫的) when the cashier gave me my bill. I had no money to pay for my meal. Then I had an idea. I pretended to look for something in my pockets and said, “Oh! I forgot my money! Can I call my roommate, please?” The cashier showed me where the phone was and I quickly called my roommate.
In a few minutes he arrived with some money. But he couldn't hide how he felt. He laughed all the way home. Now, I think it's funny too, but at the time I was terribly embarrassed. I thought that an invitation to have dinner didn't mean the same thing in the United States as in my country. I guess you have to understand that your customs are only your customs. When you visit a foreign country, you have to learn about their customs, too.

The Lost Ring
One day a man went home to his wife and said, "I have bought something for you."
"Oh, thank you" said his wife. "What have you bought?" "I've bought a gold ring. Here it is."
He held it out for his wife to see. Then he dropped it. "Oh dear" he said. "I have dropped it."
He began to look for it on the floor but it was dark inside the house and he could not see anything. He
went outside the house and began to look for the ring in the street. Just then a friend came along.
"What's the matter?" he asked.
"I have lost a ring." said the man. "Where did you lose it?"
"I lost it inside my house."
"You lost your ring inside your house but you are looking for it outside in the street. That seems very

"Ah," said the man, "but it is dark inside my house. I shall never find it there. But here in the street there
is more light and I can see more clearly.
