Random ramblings from a guy who is too busy to have a Web site. On the bright side, you won't find any ads, pop-ups, hype, or any attempts to sell you anything at all. Furthermore, you won't find any pages divided into a hundred little boxes. And the text is so large, you don't need an electron microscope to read it. A refreshing break from reality. Anyway, here's what I have so far as I gradually resurrect my poor neglected Web site.

Being new to computers, or even just being a “casual user”, isn’t always fun. It's as though everybody on the planet assumes you already know all the buzzwords, and already possess all the skills necessary to use a computer. Which is a really big assumption, when you consider that nobody was ever born knowing how to use a computer. The links below provide some quick mini-tutorials on all the skills and buzzwords that everyone else seems to assume you already know. Click on any link (underlined text) for a quick mini-lesson.

Americans often plan social gatherings（社交聚會）on short notice, so don’t be surprised if you get invited to someone’s home or to see a movie or baseball game without much warning. If the time is convenient (方便) for you, surely accept their invitation. But if you’re busy, don’t be afraid to decline the invitation, perhaps suggesting a time that would be better. Your host won’t be shamed.
Invitations are usually sent in person or over the telephone. The main exception(例外) is for some formal occasions, in which case a written invitation will be mailed. You would normally receive a written invitation to a wedding(婚禮).
For a casual(不正式的)dinner invitation, don’t arrive more than 5 minutes early, because your host may still be preparing for your visit. Arriving more than 10 minutes late is considered rude if very few people were invited. If many people were invited, it’s OK to arrive a little late, even as much as half an hour late. For example, it’s OK to arrive late for a party, for a potluck (家常便飯) dinner or for a social gathering inviting a large group of people.
If you’re invited for dinner, it’s proper to bring the host a bottle of wine, a gift basket of fruit, a box of candy (糖果), or a bouquet(束)of flowers. Don’t bring roses, as men often give roses to women on a date (約會).
If you wish to thank the host for his or her hospitality (好客), it’s right to call or send a brief (簡單的) written thank-you note the next day.
【小題1】The passage is to tell us ________.
| A．how to accept Americans’ invitations. |
| B．something about American social visits. |
| C．something about American business visits. |
| D．how to make a living in America. |
| A．accept | B．receive | C．refuse | D．follow |
| A．7:15p.m. | B．7:35p.m. | C．7:45p.m. | D．7:55p.m. |
| A．by mail | B．by fax | C．by e-mail | D．over the telephone |
| A．if you’re invited to a family as a guest, you can stay as long as you please. |
| B．if you’re invited for a party, you must always be on time. |
| C．if you’re invited for dinner, you’d better bring some presents. |
| D．you must make a call to show your thanks after you get home from the dinner. |
