In Britain you may often hear "Drop in any time" or "Come to see me soon", but you can't really do that. People just say those things to make you feel welcome. It is better to telephone before visiting someone at home. If you receive a written invitation to an event that says "RSVP", you should reply to let the person who sent the invitation know whether or not you plan to go.
You should never accept an invitation unless you really plan to go. You may refuse by saying, "Thank you for inviting me, but I will not be able to come. "If, after accepting, you are unable to go, be sure to tell those who are expecting you as soon as possible that you will not be there. Although it is not necessarily expected that you give a gift to your host, it is considered polite to do so, especially if you have been invited for a meal. Flowers, chocolate, or a small gift are all appropriate(合适的). A thank-you note or telephone call after the visit is also considered polite and is an appropriate way to express your appreciation for the invitation.

Do you often work or study with your left hand or right hand? Very few of us can use (使用) both of our hands well. Most of us use our right hands well. Only about five people out of a hundred are left-handed. Newly-born babies (新生儿) can take things with either (任一) of their hands, but in about two years they like to use their right hands.
Scientists (科学家) spend years studying it. Scientists found that monkeys (猴子) like to use one hand more than the other—but it can be either of the hands. There are so many right-handed ones. Next time you visit the zoo, watch the monkeys carefully. You'll see that many of them would use their right hands and others would use their left hands. Scientists also found that when children are young, using left hands more often can help them learn things well. Now most people often use their right hands and many things are made for the right-handed people, and this makes life difficult for the left-handed ones. We need to think about some ways to help the left-handed ones.
( )12. Scientists found that monkeys _______.
A. like to live in the zoo B. like to use their left hands
C. use one hand more than the other D. are not cleverer than people
