    　　In the United States, people like inviting their friends to their home for a meal, a party, or often just for coffee and conversation. Americans think it friendlier than to take them to a restaurant. Here are what Americans often say when they invite someone to their home.

    　　“Would you like to come for dinner on Friday night?”

    　　“We are going to have a party on Friday night. Would you like to come?”

    　　Replies are “Thanks, I'd love to. What time?” or “I'm sorry. I'd love to, but I'm going to play tennis with John.” By the way, if the invitation is made with “Will you come?” or “Would you like to come?” It is not polite to say “No, I won't.” or “No, I wouldn't.”

    　　Sometimes Americans use some expressions that sound like invitations, but they are not real ones. For example, “Please come over f~ a cup of coffee sometime.”

    　　“Let's go out for a dinner one of these days.” “Why don't you come and see us sometime soon?”

    　　These are usually just polite ways of ending a conversation. They are not real invitations because they don't tell you a specific day or time. These expressions only mean the man is trying to be friendly and the answers to the expressions are “OK, yes, thank you.” or “Yes, that would be great.”

    　　So next time you hear what sounds like an invitation, listen carefully. Is it a real invitation or is the man just being friendly?

    　　Many years before the United States was founded(建立), Americans had already invented barbecues．But the first barbecues, in fact, were the invention of the Taino Indians of Haiti, who dried their meat on raised frames(架子)of sticks over fires．Spanish explorers spelled the Taino word as barbacoa, and as time passed, English settlers along the Atlantic coat had their own barbecues．

    　　One summer day in 1773, Benjamin Lynde, a citizen of Massachusetts, wrote in his diary,“Fair and hot ; Browne; hack overset．”That is, on a bright and hot day he went to the Brownes to attend a barbecue, and his carriage(马车)fell over．It shows that the barbecue had its social occasion by that time．Large animals would be roasted whole on frames over hot fires, and neighbours would be invited to dinner．

    　　In later centuries, as settlers moved to the west, the barbecue went along with it, reaching an especially large size in Texas, where a pit(坑)for fuels(燃料)such as tree branches might be over ten feet deep．Today, the barbecue grills(烧烤架)which are fueled by charcoal(木炭)or electricity are likely to be small and easy to move, and can cook only parts of an animal at a time, but people still have barbecues out of doors and always invite their neighbours or friends over．

    (1)

    Who invented the barbecues first in history?

    [　　]

    A．

    B．

    Taino Indians．

    C．
