Question

Peter didn’t know why he didn’t have many friends. The reason was he was always taking, never giving.

One day Peter told Bill, “I’d like to give a party on Saturday, I’d like you to come and bring Martha, too.” “Thanks, Peter. We’d be happy to come.” “Perhaps you’d like to bring your violin. You and Martha sing well together. I’m sure everyone will want you to sing for us.” That was how Peter began to plan his party. Next he asked another friend, Betty, to bring a cake. “You make the best cake in the world, Betty, and I like to eat your cake better than have one from the bakery.” Peter invited a few other friends to come to his party. He didn’t forget to ask something from each one of them. He even asked Jim and Mary Jackson to let him give the party at their house! They agreed. The party was a big success.

However, as the guests(客人) were leaving, they said “Thank you ” to Bill and Martha

for the music, Betty for the cake, the Jacksons for the use of the house and to others for their hard work. To Peter they just said, “ Thanks for the invitation.”

试题分析：本文介绍了自私的皮特要举办一个聚会，他让Bill拿小提琴，让Martha唱歌，让Betty带蛋糕，让Jim and Mary提供房子，就这样，举办了一场成功的晚会。但是最后大家离开时，感谢Bill和Martha的音乐、Betty的蛋糕、Jackson家的房子，只是感谢Peter的邀请。

1.He even asked Jim and Mary Jackson to let him give the party at their house! They agreed.，可知他的聚会是在朋友Jim 和Mary的家里举办的，故选C。

2.Perhaps you’d like to bring your violin. You and Martha sing well together. 可知是Bill和Martha唱歌好，而不是Mary Jackson,故选B。
