问题     When you are invited to attend a party in the west, the first important thing you need to know is arriving late.
    It is a great embarrassment(尴尬) to arrive at a party early or even on time. Therefore, unless you are the host of the party, you never want to be the first person present at a party. Why? Because people are afraid that others may think that they have no life or nothing better to do than waiting for a party to start. Many people try to show an image(形象) of business which, whether true or not, has something to do with success. So by arriving late, you are saying, "I live a full life and it’s really exciting. "
    Therefore, an 8 o’clock party usually doesn’ t really start until maybe 9 o’clock as everyone wants to be thought of as a busy and important person with lots of things to do. In other words, a party is one of those rare occasions (极少数场合) where your punctuality can actually hurt you. It’s quite a strange thing, isn’t it? Anyhow, remember, be late!
What can we learn from the passage?
选项 A、Only the host can be the first person at the party.
B、People all have a lot of things to do.
C、You need to be late on every occasion.
答案A
解析 推理题。采用排除法逐一看选项。选项A说只有主人能第一个到达聚会，根据短文第二段第二句及生活常识可知是正确的。B选项说人们都有很多事情去做，不正确，人们只是想通过迟到证明他们有很多事情要做。C说每个场合都需要迟到，错误，因为文章只提到聚会是极少数迟到反而礼貌的场合。
