根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多途选项。

    1   If you agree to meet friends at three o'clock, you can bet that they'll be there just after three.Since Britons(英国人)are so time conscious, the pace of life may seem very rushed.In Britain, people make great effort to arrive on time.  2   If you are unable to keep an appointment, it is expected that you call the person you are meeting.

  "Drop in anytime" and ''come see me soon" are idioms often used in social settings but seldom meant to be taken literally.It is wise to telephone before visiting someone at home.If you receive a written invitation to an event that says "RSVP", you should respond to let the person who sent the invitation know whether or not you plan to attend.  3   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 attend, be sure to tell those expecting you as far in advance as possible that you will not be there.

  When you accept a dinner invitation, tell your host if you have any dietary restrictions.

    4   The evening meal is the main meal of the day in most parts of Britain.Food may be served in one of several ways:"family style", by passing the serving plates from one to another around the dining table; "buffet style", with guests serving themselves at the buffet; and "serving style," with the host filling each plate and passing it to each person.  5   Food is eaten with a knife and fork and dessert with a spoon and fork.

Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They will soil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing. The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets that are acceptable in the domestic setting.
  One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to train its obedience. Obedience training doesn’t solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do.
Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request of “come here, sit,” it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the pack(群)by using extreme measure. You can teach your dog its subordinate(从属的)role by teaching it to show submission to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you to
pleasantly accept that you are in charge.
  Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.
51. Behavior problems of dogs are believed to _______.
A. be just part of their nature
  B. worsen in modern society
  C. occur when they go wild
  D. present a threat to the community
52. The primary purpose of obedience training is to _______.
  A. teach the dog to perform clever tricks
  B. make the dog aware of its owner’s authority
  C. provide the dog with outlets for its wild behavior
  D. enable the dog to regain its normal behavior
53. Effective communication between a dog and its owner is _______.
  A. essential to solving the dog’s behavior problems
  B. the foundation for dogs to perform tasks
  C. a good way to teach the dog new tricks
  D. an extreme measure in obedience training
54. Why do pet dogs love performing tricks for their masters?
  A. To avoid being punished.
  B. To show their affection for their masters.
  C. To win leadership of the dog pack.
  D. To show their willingness to obey.
55. When a dog has received effective obedience training, its owner _______.
  A. can give the dog more rewards
  B. will enjoy a better family life
  C. can give the dog more freedom
  D. will have more confidence in himself
