       Letter 1 Dear Ann,
　　I am going to give a dinner party next month. I want my guests to enjoy themselves and to feel comfortable. What is the secret of giving a successful party?
Letter 2 Dear Mary，
　　Cook something that would let you spend time with your guests，If a guest offers to help you in the kitchen，accept the offer. It often makes people feel more comfortable when they can help.
　　Before serving dinner，while your guests make small talks in the living room，offer them drinks. Some guests may like wine，but make sure to provide soft drinks for people who don’t.
　　At the dinner table，let your guests serve themselves. Offer them a second serving after they finish, but don’t ask more than once. Most guests will take more if they want.
　　Perhaps the most important rule of all is to be natural. Treat your guests as you want them to treat you when you’re in their home—that is，act naturally toward them，and don’t try too hard to be polite. Have a good time in a pleasant atmosphere.

　　When all the people had assembled, the King, surrounded by his court, _(1)_ a signal. Then a door beneath him opened, and the accused man stepped out into the arena. Directly opposite him were two doors, exactly _(2)_ and side by side. It was the duty and the privilege of the person on trial to walk directly to these _(3)_ and open one of them. He _(4)_ open either door that he liked; he was subject to no guidance or influence but that of impartial and incorruptible chance.

 If he opened the one and got a hungry tiger, the fiercest and most cruel one that could be found, which _(5)_ sprang upon him and tore him into pieces, it was a punishment for his guilt. But, if the accused person opened the other door, out of which came a _(6)_ lady, and to this lady he was immediately married, it was a reward of his innocence. This was the _(7)_ method of administering justice. Its perfect fairness is obvious.

The criminal could _(8)_ know out of which door would come the lady. He opened either one that he liked, without having the slightest _(9)_ whether, in the next instant, he was to be devoured or married. So the accused person was instantly _(10)_ if guilty, and, if innocent, he was rewarded on the spot.
