Going to party can be fun and enjoyable. If you are invited to a party, do call your host up early to inform him or her of whether you are going. If you want to bring someone who has not been invited along with you, you should ask for permission first. Remember to dress appropriately for the party. You will stick out like a sore thumb if you are dressed formally whereas everyone else is in T-shirt and jeans. If you are not sure what to wear, do ask your host.

During the party you may perhaps like to help your host by offering to serve drinks or wash the dishes. Your host would certainly appreciate these efforts. If you happen to be in a party you do not know anyone, do not try to monopolize the host's attention. This is inconsiderate since your host has many people to attend to and can not spend all his or her time with you. Instead, learn to mingle with others at the party. You could try breaking the ice by introducing yourself to someone who is friendly-looking.

Before you leave the party, remember to thank your host first. If you have the time, you could even offer to help your host clean up the place

Đi dự tiệc có thể rất vui và thú vị. Nếu bạn được mời tham dự một bữa tiệc, hãy gọi chủ nhà của bạn dậy sớm để thông báo cho họ biết bạn có tham dự hay không. Nếu bạn muốn dẫn một ai đó chưa được mời đi cùng, bạn nên xin phép trước. Hãy nhớ ăn mặc phù hợp cho bữa tiệc. Bạn sẽ nhô ra như ngón tay cái đau nếu bạn ăn mặc lịch sự trong khi những người khác mặc áo phông và quần jean. Nếu bạn không chắc nên mặc gì, hãy hỏi chủ nhà.

Trong bữa tiệc, bạn có thể muốn giúp đỡ chủ nhà bằng cách đề nghị phục vụ đồ uống hoặc rửa bát. Chủ nhà của bạn chắc chắn sẽ đánh giá cao những nỗ lực này. Nếu bạn tình cờ tham gia một bữa tiệc mà bạn không biết ai, đừng cố gắng độc chiếm sự chú ý của chủ nhà. Điều này là không cân nhắc vì máy chủ của bạn có nhiều người tham dự và không thể dành toàn bộ thời gian của họ cho bạn. Thay vào đó, hãy học cách hòa nhập với những người khác trong bữa tiệc. Bạn có thể thử phá băng bằng cách giới thiệu bản thân với một người có vẻ ngoài thân thiện.

Trước khi rời bữa tiệc, hãy nhớ cảm ơn chủ nhà trước. Nếu có thời gian, bạn thậm chí có thể đề nghị giúp chủ nhà dọn dẹp nơi này

1. Bạn sẽ làm gì nếu được mời dự tiệc?

2. Bạn nên làm gì trong bữa tiệc để giúp đỡ chủ nhà?

3. Bạn có thể làm gì nếu bạn không biết ai trong bữa tiệc?

4. Khách có nên rời bữa tiệc mà không nói lời cảm ơn với chủ nhà?

Although it’s impossible to ignore their popularity, it seems to me that many reality shows send an unfortunate message encouraging a cult of instant celebrity. Many are built around blatant self-promotion and are based on humiliating others for the entertainment of viewers. These programmes suggest that anyone can become famous simply by “being themselves” on TV, without working hard or displaying any talent. Children who watch these shows may come to believe that they don’t need to study conscientiously at school, or train hard for a job. As one commentator points out, “We tell kids that what matters is being a celebrity and we wonder why some behave as they do. It seems to me that this addiction to celebrity culture is creating a dumbed-down generation.” In pretending to imitate real life, reality shows promote the belief that we should aspire to be the reality stars we watch on televisions.

One of the reasons so many people enjoy reality shows is that they feature real people operating without scripts. The fact that characters have been selected to encourage disagreements or tension and then cynically manipulated does not take away from the reality of the programmers; in fact it adds to it. The unusual settings of shows like Big Brother do not reduce the educational value of observing how the contestants cope with their situation. In fact, without such shows, most people would have little concept of how a group of strangers would be able to survive, co-operate and develop in such environments. As Time Magazine describes it, “They provoke and offend, but at least they are trying to do something besides helping you get to sleep.” This insight therefore into the human condition is invaluable, and it is little surprise that so many viewers are eager to watch these programmes.

Far from discouraging hard work and education, reality TV programmes help to create a society in which we have shared experiences and a strong sense of community. Despite the fact that they do not reflect reality, they provide an important social glue. In the past, there were only a few television channels, and everybody watched the same programmes. This sense of a shared experience helped to bind people together, giving them common things to talk about at work the next day: so-called “water cooler moments’. Reality programmes play that role in contemporary society with viewership being almost a cultural imperative, an experience shared simultaneously with friends and family. The criticism that reality TV shows may corrupt viewers is not sustainable. Just as it is possible empathize with real-life criminals without going on to commit crimes ourselves, there is no reason why viewers should be persuaded to emulate the morality of reality TV programmes.

Question 36: Which of the following best serves as the title of the passage?
A. How are reality TV programmes produced?

Question 37: The word “their” in paragraph 1 refers to___________?
A. Reality shows B. Reality stars C. Viewers D. Characters

A. Because the real people appear in the shows.
B. Because there are no unusual settings in the shows.
C. Because people have to be in real situation.
D. Because there is no script for real people to perform.
Question 39: The phrase “cope with” is closest in meaning to_________?
A. fit       B. manage      C. stop     D. make
Question 40: According to paragraph 3, what reality TV programmes bring people nowadays more than in the past?
A. That everybody watches the same programmes.
B. That everybody experiences the morality of TV programmes.
C. That everybody has a sense of shared experiences.
D. That everybody talks to each other about work after watching TV programmes.
