  9. After that, Mari Yoko was alienated from Lily, for they are no longer that intimate as before. Lily feels very strange, and cannot figure out where is wrong.

  10. Choices A. Because the gift that Lily brought was too cheap, thus failing to show enough respect to Mari Yoko’s family. B. Because Lily didn’t insist on cooking for them for their refusal was just being polite, not true to their heart.

  11. C. Because Lily shouldn’t have insisted on Mari showing her around for Japanese attach great importance to their privacy. D. Lily shouldn’t have let Mari sent to the bus stop for she should have gone home on herself.

  12. Answer The reasonable answer should be C. Japanese are not used to show their guests around their home, it’s not polite to request the host to show you around.

  13. Critical Analysis Lily knocked the door to call the family. ——Wrong! Lily gave the host her present after sitting down. ——Wrong! Lily prepared a present for the family and packed it delicately. ——Right!
