Travelled abroad, you should follow the customs of the country where you are visiting. When you invited, it is good manners to refuse or accept an invitation, either by writing or by telephoning. If you go to the party, it is polite to reach on time. It is good manners to shake hand with your host. You can take a present if you like, possibly a bottle of wine, a box of chocolates and some flowers. However, it was not bad manners to take nothing. It is not polite to stay too late before the other guests have gone. Also, it is suggested to write or telephone a day or two late to thank your host.

Answer

1.Travelled→Travelling

2.where→which或that或去掉

3.invited前加are

4.an→the

5.reach→arrive

6.hand→hands

7.and→or

8.was→is

9.before→after

10.late→later

【解析】

试题分析：

1.Travelled→Travelling 考察分词做状语，动词travel和主语you之间是主动关系，所以Travelled→Travelling。

2.where→which或that或去掉 考察定语从句，关系词指代先行词country在定语从句中做宾语，所以where→which或that或去掉。

3.invited前加are 考察动词被动语态，所以invited前加are。

4.an→the 考察冠词，拒绝或接收邀请，应用the表特指。

5.reach→arrive 考察动词，按时到达，用不及物动词arrive，所以reach→arrive。

6.hand→hands 考察名词单复数， shake hands握手。所以hand→hands。

7.and→or 考察连词，选择关系用or,所以and→or。

8.was→is 考察时态的一致性，本句应该用一般现在时，所以was→is。

9.before→after 考察时间状语从句连词，本句句意：在其他客人离开之后，呆太晚是不礼貌的，所以before→after。

10.
