So if your American or English friend asks you to dinner, he usually invites you a week ahead. But if you really have no time and can’t go to the dinner, you can ring him to say sorry. The dinner is usually served at home, sometimes at a restaurant. You should get there on time, and don’t forget to put on your fine clothes. It is also a good idea to take some little presents to your friend, such as flowers, chocolates and so on. When you are at dinner, you should also observe (遵守) some other customs. Here I’ll give you some dos and don’ts about them in the following: ●Don’t leave bones on the table or the floor. (You should put them on your plate with fingers.) ●Don’t use your bowl to drink soup, but use your spoon to help you instead. ●Don’t talk with much food in your mouth. ●Don’t ask others to have more wine. (This is quite different from that in China.) ●After dinner, use your napkin(餐巾) to clean your mouth and hands. ●Make sure small pieces of food are not left on your face. Then after dinner, you can stay there a little time. And your friend will be pleased if you leave in half an hour or so. Next day, you had better ring him up to thank him for the good dinner. 60.

D Every day millions of letters go from one country to another.Letters mailed in Italy are received in Japan.Letters mailed in Canada are received in Africa.On the letters are many different kinds of stamps，bought in different countries. The Universal Postal Union helps each letter get to the right place as quickly as possible.It sets up rules about the size and weight of letters，postcards，and small packages(包裹).It has rules that all countries must follow about international postal rates(费用). One hundred years ago，international mail did not move so smoothly.One country did not always accept another country’s letters.Letters from some countries were too large to fit into the mailboxes of other countries.Letters travelled by many different routes(路线).Some were lost along the way. Sometimes the person who sent the letter could pay only part of the postage.The person receiving the letter had to pay the rest. The United States was the first to suggest that all countries work together to settle the questions of international mail.In 1974，men from twenty-four countries met in Switzerland to form the Universal Postal Union.Today，more than 120 nations belong to this union.From its office in Switzerland，the union helps the mail to move safely and quickly around the world. 67.From the story we can infer that .
