既然他對我們如此粗魯，我覺得我們不得不懲罰他一下。(feel like)

The other day，my friend Jane was invited to a 40th birthday party．The printed on the invitation was 7：30 pm．Jane went off with her husband。Expecting a merry evening of wine，food，and song．

　 By 9：45，everybody was having great fun，but no food had appeared．Jane David were restless．0ther guests began whispering that they，too，were starving.But no one wanted to leave．just in case some food was about to appear．By 11：there was still no food．And everyone was completely off their heads . Jane and D left hungry and angry．

　 Their experience suggests that the words on the printed invitations need to be

made clearer． Everyone reads and understands the invitations differently．Most of

us would agree that 6：30——8：30 pm means drinks only，go out to dinner afterwards

8：00 pm or 8：30 pm means possible dinner，but 9：30 pm and any time thereafter

means no food，eat beforehand，and roll up late．

　 But this is not always the case．If asked to a students’party at 6：30 pm， normal for guests not to appear before midnight，if at all，and no one cares．Being

the first to arrive——looking eager——is social death．When my mother is asked to a party for 6：30，she likes to be there，if not on time，then no later than seven．

age group(1ate thirties)falls somewhere between the two，but because we still think

we’re young，we’re probably closer to student-time than grown—up time．

　 The accepted custom at present is confusing(混亂的)，sometimes annoying

and it often means you may go home hungry，but it does lend every party that precious

element of surprise．

There were many beautiful buildings in ancient Rome, but the living conditions for ordinary people were bad. Most of their homes were so poorly made that they fell down or were fire hazards (=danger) with their steep, narrow wooden stairways. Most people were packed into apartment buildings that rose shakily (=unsafely) six to twelve floors above the ground. The apartments were rooms about three metres square, and each building housed about five hundred people.

These tall buildings faced each other across streets only three metres wide, so no sunlight reached the ground. Even so, apartments were costly, though cheaper places could be had outside Rome. But people wanted to be near their work and entertainment. So the streets became crowded and it was hard to move quickly. At night, the streets were filled with noise as food and supplies were brought into the city on wagons and carts.
