    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 cannot 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 has 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.
The right order to use the knives, forks and spoons at a formal dinner is from the left to the right.
选项 A、Right
B、Wrong
C、Not mentioned
答案B
解析 题干大意：在正式的美国宴席上，盘子旁边的刀、叉子和调羹的使用顺序是从左到右。这道题与前一题相关，在前一题我们已发现了涉及刀、叉子和调羹摆放顺序的句子，而该句说：从外到里，所以不是从左到右。故答案选B。
