【解析】
本文主要讲了如何成为一个受欢迎的客人,作者从衣看,礼物,问候,食物,称呼及离开六个方面做出了建议。
【1】句意:读我们的六个做好客人的技巧。
tip“技巧”可数名词,由空前的six,可知用tip的复数形式tips,故答案为tips。
【2】句意:如果你处于正式场合,穿得漂亮些。
smart“漂亮的”形容词,根据句意此处dress意为“穿”动词,所以用smart的副词修饰 smartly修饰动词dress,故答案为smartly。
【3】句意:如果你要呆很短的时间,就带一份小礼物,根据下文“Don't arrive empty-handed.” 不要空手而来,可知空处意思为“带来”,由首字母提示可知用bring“带来”,根据句意,本句为祈使句,所以用动词原形,故答案为bring。
【4】句意:做客时间较长就带一份较大的礼物。
根据上文“a small gift … for a short period of time” 如果你要呆很短的时间,就带一份小礼物,可知“longer periods.”做客时间较长就带一件较大的礼物,所以用形容词big的比较级bigger,故答案为bigger。
【5】句意:问候——握手还是亲吻?
根据打招呼的常识和首字母h提示,可知意思为握手“shake hands”,故答案为hands。
【6】食物——当被提供食物时总是接受。
此处为省略句,完整的状语从句应为when it is offered,it指代食物,故答案为offered。
【7】句意:尽量吃所有的东西,说它的味道很好,不管它看起来很糟糕还是很好吃。
根据句意,无论食物怎样都要尽量吃,还要说好吃,品尝taste,主语it为第三人称单数,所以taste用单数形式tastes,故答案为tastes。
【8】句意:大多数人对他们的烹饪感到骄傲,即使他们不这样。
由proud自豪,骄傲,可知此处句意为“对…感到骄傲”,所以用be proud of“对…感到骄傲”,故答案为of。
【9】句意:始终使用头衔(博士,教授和主席)称呼他人,直到别人告诉你不要这样。
主语the person为单数名词,所以谓语动词tell也用单数形式tells,故答案为tells。
【10】句意:离开——作为一个好客人最重要的建议是知道什么时候说再见。
根据句意和提示词,可知此处意思为“什么时候说再见”,用疑问词+动词不定式:when to say,故答案为to say。
【题目】根据短文内容,完成图表中所缺信息。
Christmas is one of the happiest times of the year. It’s time we spend with family members, giving gifts to each other and eating plenty of delicious food. However, at the same time it can also be a nervous time. You have to spend much time and money planing and buying presents for everyone. You need to clean the rooms or even clear some of them out and put up the Christmas tree, the decorations and the balloons. And you have to communicate with your friends and relatives whom you perhaps wouldn’t usually spend so much time with. So what can we do to deal with these things to enjoy the happy season to the fullest?
Usually, you have to face the busy shops to do your Christmas shopping during this holiday. That can make you stressed out. To stay calm (冷静的) during this holiday, you can start your shopping early. In other words, you can buy presents for people before Christmas comes so that you can save yourself some money. What’s more, you can buy your presents on the Internet, which means that you can find anything you can think of, and you can do it in your living room. It’s much cheaper, so you can save money.
Did you once drink more than usual, eat cakes you didn’t want or do something else which leave you feeling tired? Remember that it’s your right to enjoy Christmas the way you want to and that you should take no notice of those who tell you that you’re not being Christmassy.
Finally, you’d better have low expectations (期望). If your expectations are high, you will make yourself upset. Don’t let yourself be pressured (迫使) into making the Christmas perfect. So, just be satisfied to have a pleasant evening with your family and let what happens happen.
