B: Because she thinks listening to music is not good for my study.

A: {#blank#}3{#/blank#} I also love music. It makes me relaxed and helps me study better.

B: Right. Music brings me much, too. But how can I solve my problem Can you give me some advice.

A. That's a good idea.

We often say, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do. " So what should we know about eating {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(一起) in Rome? If you receive an {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(请柬) to dinner at a home, it's proper to take a small gift, such as flowers and wine. Also, remember to arrive 15 to 30 minutes {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(迟；晚). And please feel free to ask for a tour when you arrive, because {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(意大利人) are proud of their homes and love to give tours. 

When being {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(介绍) to others, you should shake hands with everyone. {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(女士) should extend(伸出) their hands first to men. Family or friends may greet each other with a kiss on both cheeks. It's quite {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(相似的) to that in the US. 

When the table is prepared, a fork is placed on the left side of the plate and a {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(餐刀) on the right side. The fork and the {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(匙) at the top of the plate are provided for dessert. Wait until everyone is seated and {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(端上) before beginning the meal. Eat with a napkin(餐巾) on your lap(大腿部). Don't use your hands for eating and never place your elbows on the table.
