       In Canada and the United States,people enjoy entertaining (请客) at home. They often invite friends over for a meal ? a party ? or just for conversation.

       Here are the kinds of things people say when they invite someone to their home.

      “Would you like to come over for dinner this Saturday night?”

      “ Hey,we ’ re having a dinner 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 (托辞) ：“Thanks,I'd love to. What time would you like us to come?” or “Oh,sorry,I ’ ve got tickets for a film. ”

       Sometimes,however,people use expressions that sound like invitations but they are not real invitations,such as, “Please come over for a drink sometime. ” or “ Why don't you come over and see us sometime?”

       They are really polite ways of ending a conversation. They are not real invitations because they don’t mention a nice time or date. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly. To reply to expressions like this,people just say: “Sure,that would be great!” “OK. ’ or “Yes,thanks. ”

        Reading is a good habit,but the problem is,there ’ s too much to read these days,and too little time to read every word of it. There are hundreds of skills to help you read more in less time. Here are two skills that I think are especially good.

        Preview——if it's long and hard. Previewing is especially useful for getting a general idea of heavy reading like long magazine articles and business reports.

        Here ’ s how to preview.

        . Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs carefully.

        . Then read only the first sentence of the other paragraphs.

        Previewing doesn ’t give you all the details. It keeps you from spending time on things you don , t really want—or need—to read.

        Skim—if it ’ s short and simple. Skimming is a good way to get a general idea of light reading——like popular magazines or the sports and entertainment of your daily paper.

       Here ’ s how to skim.

       . Get your eyes to move fast. Sweep them across each line.

       . Pick up only a few key words in each line.

        Everybody skims differently. You and I may not pick up the same words when we skim the same piece,but we ’ 11 get a similar idea of what it ’ s all about.

() 1. How many skills are recommended in this passage?

   A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.

   A. Read the last two paragraphs carefully.

   B. Get our eyes to move fast.

   C. Sweep our eyes across each line.

      Work hours are different from one country to another. In France,people spend about 1 ,646 hours a year at work. In Japan,however? people work about 2 ,159 hours a year. That means a Japanese worker works 513 more hours a year than a French worker.
