Answer 1

答案：1．A;2．C;3．C;
解析：

(1)	第二段提到了赶赴晚宴的注意事项“Ask your hosts what time you should arrive．It’s polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a gift”：向宴客的主人询问到达的时间、给主人带些小礼品。
(2)	“You’ll probably start the meal with soup or something small, then you’ll have meat or fish with vegetables, and then dessert, followed by coffee．”一句表明晚宴的顺序是soup or something small, meat or fish with vegetables, dessert和coffee。
(3)	“Call your hosts the next day,or write them a short thank-you letter．”(第二天给主人一个电话或写一封感谢信)可以表达自己对晚宴的喜爱。
