    　　Dinner, for English people, is the richest meal of the day and is a very formal meal. Many people even wear special clothes for dinner, so if you are asked out to dinner you must find out whether you are expected to wear a dinner suit: for you would feel very upset if when you get there, you were the only person in ordinary clothes. Dinner is generally served at about half past seven. All the members of the family sit down together and eat on their best behavior. The head of the family sits at one end of the table; his wife sits at the other. If there is a guest, he generally sits in the place of honour, which is at the right of the lady of the house. If there are several guests, the most important is asked to sit there. During the meal conversation is carried on, you should try to get in conversation with the person on your right or left, but you should not try to talk to someone who is a long way from you.

    　　Complete silence is found only in laboratories called anechoic(无回声)rooms．The walls and ceilings, made of blocks of special sound-sucking materials, are more than three feet thick, while floor coverings are six-foot layers of feathers or cotton wool．Silence here can be as painful to the ears as the din(continuous loud noise)of a steelworks or a rocket blast-off, yet scientists get used to this and stay in these silent rooms for hours at a time, using microphones and electronic equipment to test the various materials being developed to make the world a less noisy place．

    　　Architects have used scientific discoveries to solve noise problem in a number of ways．Walls are hollowed(having empty space inside)and then filled with sound-sucking materials similar to cotton wool．Extra-thick carpets(毯子)cover the floors, and thick woolen curtains cover the windows．Air conditioning and heating channels are made less noisy by having the air passing through hundreds of tiny holes in baffles(屏蔽)made of sheets of soundsucking materials．

    　　Unfortunately, these techniques and others often work too well in some buildings．Noise-proof rooms become almost anechoic and people living in them are disturbed by the lack of sound．One way of handling this problem is to use what they call “sound perfume”－artificial(similarly produced, made by man)noise is piped to rooms through small loudspeakers．
