Answer 1

分析 Akuapem 族人居住在加纳东部．那里总是阳光明媚．当地的居民友善而好客．现在让我们看一看Akuapem族人如何接待客人．
    客人总是受到Akuapem 家庭成员的热情款待．客人被请进屋子后，他首先会被安排落座，递上饮用水，因为主人觉得客人必定经历了长途旅行而且需要喝水解渴．假如有一群到访者，主人会从右至左的问候客人．另外，主人只用右手握手，因为Akuapem族人觉得左手不洁．
接下来，客人会被问到旅途是否愉快以及到访的原因．谈话正进行的时候，妻子和孩子们，特别是女孩子们，会去为访客准备食物．客人可以选择他喜爱的食物．餐闭，主客继续聊天．这时的谈话通常很短暂，因为客人准备告别了．
       客人走时通常会被要求带上些食物．家中的一个孩子会陪伴他到达最近的驿站．孩子会陪伴客人直到他安全离开才会回家．
       不论他是亲密的伙伴还是陌生人，Akuapem居民总会这样友善的接待客人．

解答 50．答案：A．词义猜测题．根据he is offered a seat and water at the very beginning，和visitor must have come from a very long journey and need water．可知游客一定来自很远的路途，非常需要水，所以此处的主人一开始就提供他们座位和水，是因为他们想着这一点，故此处asumes表示想着、记着，故选A．
51．答案：D．细节理解题．根据 When the visitor is leaving，he is often given some food．可知当游客离开时，他们会让游客带着一些食物．故选D．
52．答案：B．推理判断题．根据Whether he is a close friend or just a stranger，this is always how friendly Akuapem people receive a visitor．可知无论是亲密的朋友还是陌生人，Akuapem的人们总是友好的接待游客，故推断Akuapem的人是友好的．故选B．
