In Britain, people often invite friends for a meal, a party or just coffee. People who know each
other very well—close friends, family or neighbours—visit each other’s house without an invitation
（邀请）in need. When people invite someone to their homes, they often say, “Would you like to come
for dinner on Saturday?”Answers are: “Thanks. We’d love to. What time?”or “I’m sorry. We’d
love to, but we have tickets for the concert.” However, it is not po lite to say, “No, we wouldn’t!”
Sometimes, the British use expressions（表达）that sound like invitations. For example, “You must
come over for a drink sometime.”or “Let’s go out for a meal one of these days.” These are usually
just polite ways o f ending a talk. They are not real invitations because they don’t mention（提到）
an exact（确切的） time or day. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly and the answers
are: “Yes, that would be nice.”or “OK, yes, thanks.”
So next time you hear what sounds like an invitation, listen carefully. Is it a real invitation
or is the person just being friendly?
( ) 51.It’s always necessary（必要）for ______ to visit each other’s house with an invitation.
A. close friends
B. family members
C. neighbours
D. new friends
( ) 52. It is not polite to answer the real invitation by saying “_________” .
A. Sorry, we’d love to, but we have tickets for the concert.

D. No, we w ouldn’t!
( ) 53. If the British just want to end a talk politely, they may say, “_________”.
A. Would you like to come for dinner on Saturday?
B. Let’s go out for a meal one of these days.
C. Let’s go out for a meal on Saturday.
D. Shall we go for a drink this afternoon?
( ) 54. The British often use “_______” to answer the in vitations that are not real.
A. Yes, what time?
B. No, that’s not a real invitation.
C. OK, yes, thanks.
D. No, you just want to be friendly.
