【解析】

试题分析：不同的文化在饮食上有不同的礼仪，当和西方人一起吃饭的时候，应该注意些什么呢？听说过When in Rome, do as the Romans do这句话吗？意思就是：入乡随俗。

【1】C细节理解题。根据短文中Dinner=7 p.m. or even later可知，在西方国家里，他们的晚饭时间是在晚上7点或者更晚的时候。故选C。

【2】C细节理解题。根据短文中At the start of a meal: the guest will be invited to serve himself (help yourself) or his plate will be filled by the host(can I serve you)可知，在开始吃饭的时候，主人会对客人说：随便吃。故选C。

【3】A细节理解题。根据短文中Refusing food中Given something you don’t like? I’m sorry I can’t eat this可知，如果主人给了你一些你不喜欢吃的东西，你就可以说：抱歉我不能吃这个。由此可知应选A。
