Get a vase so that you can put the flowers in water.    Never leave a guest unattended (没人照顾的), especially when there is only one of them! If there is more than one, they can talk to each other.    If the party is at home, a good idea is to have a toilet(洗手间) sign(指示牌) for people that don't know your house.    If the party is somewhere else, like a restaurant, try not to be too loud, because not everyone in the restaurant is at your party.31.The text tells us _______.A. how to choose a giftB. how to be a polite guestC. how to make friends at a partyD. how to have a dinner party32.When your guests arrive, you should take their _______ for them.A. coats B. gifts C. shoes D. flowers33.If you go to a dinner party, you can take _______ as a gift according to the text.A. clothes B. vegetables C. chocolate D. fruit34.What does the underlined word "vase" mean in Chinese?A.水壶 B.花瓶 C.礼盒 D.保温瓶35.Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?A.

They have large brains and live in family groups. The largest is the blue whale. It grows to be about 100 feet long and weighs about 200 tons!    Do you know how whales get their names? Most whales are often named after how they look. The humpback whale (驼背鲸) is named after its humped back.    Whales use sounds to sing and hunt.

He only hoped that somebody would soon pass by and help him.    Just at that moment a man riding a horse came up to him. But the farmer was very disappointed (失望) when he saw who he was. He was a great man living nearby. The farmer had hoped to ask another farmer or a poor man like him for help.    But to his surprise, the great man got off his horse as soon as he came near. He said to the farmer, "I see you need help. How good it is that I'm here just at the right time!" Then he took one end of the bag, and the farmer took the other. They together carried and put it on the horse.    "Sir," asked the farmer, "how can I pay you?"    "It's quite easy." the great man answered with a smile.
