    In Britain, people often invite friends for a meal, a party or just coffee. People who know each other very well close{#blank#}1{#/blank#}, family or neighbors visit each other's houses without an invitation (邀请), but usually an invitation is needed．{#blank#}2{#/blank#}people invite someone to their homes, they often say: “Would you like{#blank#}3{#/blank#}for dinner on Saturday?” Answers are: “Thanks. We'd love to. What time?” or “I'm sorry. We'd love to but we have tickets{#blank#}4{#/blank#}the concert.” However,{#blank#}5{#/blank#}is not polite to say “No, we wouldn't!”

    Sometimes, the British use expressions (表达) that sound like invitations but which are not invitations. For example: “You must come over for{#blank#}6{#/blank#}drink sometime.” or “Let's go out for a meal one of these days.” These are usually just polite{#blank#}7{#/blank#}of ending a talk. They are not real invitations{#blank#}8{#/blank#}they don't mention an exact time or day. They just show that the person is{#blank#}9{#/blank#}to be friendly and the answers are: “Yes, that would be nice.” or “OK, yes, thanks.”

    So next time you hear what sounds like an invitation, listen{#blank#}10{#/blank#}. Is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly?

    Once there was a man in the town. He had two {#blank#}1{#/blank#}: a dog and a donkey (驴). The dog watched the house. The donkey {#blank#}2{#/blank#} things here and there.

    One night, a thief (小偷) {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the house. The man was sleeping. The donkey saw the thief and {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. The man got up and looked around. But the thief ran away, so he didn't see anything. His {#blank#}5{#/blank#} were all in the house. The man thought the donkey was too noisy (吵闹的). He was not {#blank#}6{#/blank#} and beat (打) the donkey badly.

    It was the dog's work to watch the house, not the donkey's.
