    Every land has its own dining custom, and the United States is no exception. Americans feel that the first rule of being a polite guest is to be on time. If a person is invited to dinner at 6:30, the hostess expects him to be there at 6 : 30 or not more than a few minutes after. Because she usually does her own cooking, she times the meal so that the coffee and meat will be at their best at the time she asks the guest to come. If he is late, the food will not be so good, and the hostess will be disappointed. When the guest can not come on time, he calls his host or hostess on the telephone, gives the reason, and tells at what time he thinks he can come.
    As guests continue to arrive, the men in the group stand when a woman enters and remain standing until she found a chair. A man always rises when he is being introduced to a woman. A woman does not rise when she is being introduced either to a man or a woman unless the woman is much older.
    When the guests sit down at a dinner table, it is customary for the men to help the ladies by pushing their chairs under them.
    Even an American may be confused by the number of knives, forks, and spoons besides his plate when he sits down to a formal dinner. The rule is simple, however: use them in the order in which they lie, beginning from the outside. Or watch the hostess and do what she does. The small fork on the outside on the left is for salad, which is often served with the soup. The spoon on butter spreader, on a small bread-and-butter plate at the left. As the bread is passed, each guest puts his piece on the bread-and-butter plate.  
At formal American dinner, the knives, forks, and spoons besides the plate are placed in a certain order.
选项 A、Right
B、Wrong
C、Not mentioned
答案A
解析 该问题说“在正式的美国宴席上，盘子旁边的刀、叉子和调羹按一定的顺序摆放”。答案查找的相关线索词：knives，forks and spoons(刀、叉子和调羹)。于是不难发现在第3段的第1句发现knives，forks and spoons，并在随后的一句发现提到了顺序。该句说“原则是按照它们摆放的顺序使用”，所以，刀、叉子和调羹是有摆放顺序的。
