19、nvite people of different statuses to the same dinner party. Americans will often invite people to their homes. While in some societies the home is considered too private, unworthy, or embarrassingly small to serve as an appropriate forum for business entertaining. In some countries there is a “ hel
20、p yourself “ approach to entertaining done in the home. This approach does not work well when entertaining people whose culture teaches them to wait to be asked three times before accepting an offer of food. In one instance, a Chinese guest went an entire evening without eating though he was quite h
21、ungry because he was too embarrassed to take food after only being asked to do so once. In another case, an American woman executive was being entertained at tea in London. After having the tea served, the American woman helped herself to cream and sugar rather than waiting to be served. The English
22、 woman was embarrassed by the implication that she was not serving quickly enough.As a general rule, a small gift from your home country is appreciated.

28、e one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult.

29、e be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the childthings that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known.

36、ay the official language of the United States and most of Canada is English. However, French almost became the official language because of a war.The French and Indian War was fought between 1754 and 1763.

37、The Indians fought on the side of the French.France and England were trying to gain control of North America. France held Canada, and England held part of what is now the United States. However, France tried to expand its land by moving southward into New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Virginia. When

43、derstorms, try Miami, Florida. If you want average temperatures and rainfall, St. Louis, Missouri, is the spot. Or if you re a cold weather fan, head to Fairbanks, Alaska.

44、 a place over many years is called climate, and in no two places in (he world is it exactly the same.

46、getting overly cold.Climate changes over long periods of time. Some scientists think, for example, that the earth s climate changed at the time of the dinosaurs.

47、ts, for example, are cool, dark spots that form on the sun. Sunspots may decrease precipitation on the earth and cause unusually dry periods. Changes in the atmosphere may change climate too.
