In Canada and the United States, people enjoy entertaining at home. They often invite friends to come over for a meal, a party, or just for coffee and a conversation. 　　Here are the kinds of things people say  when they invite someone to their home: 　　"Would you like to come over for dinner  this Saturday night?" 　　"Hey, we're having a party on Friday. Can you come?" 　　To reply to an invitation, either say thank you and accept, or say you're sorry and give an excuse: 　　"Thanks, I'd love to. What time would you like me to come?" or "Oh, sorry. I've tickets to a movie." 　　Sometimes, however, people use expressions that sound like invitations but which are not real invitations. For  example : 　　"Please come over for a drink sometime." 　　"Why don't you come over and see us sometime soon?" 　　They are really just polite ways of ending a conversation. They are not real invitations because they don't mention a  specific (确定的) time or date. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly. To reply to expressions like these, people just say "Sure, that would be great!" or "OK. / Yes, thanks." 　　So next time when you hear what sounds like an invitation, listen carefully. Is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly?

据专家权威分析，试题“阅读理解。In Canada and the United States, people enjoy ente..”主要考查你对  历史文化类阅读  等考点的理解。关于这些考点的“档案”如下：

历史文化类阅读

考点名称：历史文化类阅读

• 历史文化类阅读：
  本类题型常用的方式是夹叙夹议。叙述的目的是为了议，所以要把握其议才是主要方面。
  阅读这类文章，先弄清其引入的话题，再弄清里面人物对其不同的看法，然后理解作者本身对话题的观点看法或思考。

• 初中英语阅读理解的解题技巧：
  一、要注意养成良好的阅读心理，阅读时要去掉杂念，心绪要安定，精神要专一，要形成一种惬意的顺向心理。
  切不可一遇到几个生词难句，就心烦意乱，失去自控能力。心理学家告诉我们，任何恐慌，过分紧张的情绪都会形成一种消极因素妨碍大脑的正常思维功能。
  因此，遇到困难一定要从容不迫，心无旁骛。这样才能对所读的文章印象清晰，理解深刻。
  
  二、要提高视读的速度，考阅读理解，从另一个方面来说，考的是考试速度。因此做阅读理解时，要注意培养自己快速阅读的习惯。
  切不可在个别难懂的词句上磨蹭，只要全篇理解了，个别难懂的词句可以根据上下文和构词法去猜测，去推断。
  
  三、对文章的评价分析，一定要坚持“词不离句，句不离篇”，要理解文章作者的原意，而不能按你自己的意愿去想当然。
  切记：一想当然，就会出错。
