【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[听力原文]
   A dinner party is often a pleasurable time for everyone but the host, so the important point to keep in mind is that "planning" is a key part of a successful dinner party.
   All too often, hosts make the mistake of over-exerting themselves, leaving little time to enjoy the evening themselves. The following information can help you make it an enjoyable night for both yourself and your guests.
   Firstly, make a guest list so you'll know how many people to cook for. Let your guests know the time and the date of the dinner well in advance and be sure to remind them shortly before the party. Make a checklist of ingredients and drinks that you'll need and try to buy them a couple of days before the party. Get the house in order the day before the dinner party. If you leave your house cleaning till the day off, you might find yourself more stressed than you need to be. Keeping the menu simple doesn't mean it has to be boring. The night will also be a lot easier for you if you prepare dishes that can be laid out at the centre of the table, allowing guests to serve themselves. You can provide some music and the type of music will depend on the type of guests. You might not think of it, but the night will run a lot smoother with background music for the evening.
   Q: Who does the speaker address to?
晚宴对于除了主人之外的每个人来说往往都意味着愉悦的时光，所以(对于主人来说)重要的一点是要铭记“规划”是办好一次晚宴的关键。
   主人总是会犯为筹备晚宴而付出过多努力的错误，给自己留下享受晚宴的时间很少。以下信息能帮你为自己和客人同时带来一个美好的夜晚。
   首先，列一个客人清单，这样你就会了解你要准备多少人的饭菜了。让你的客人提前知道晚宴的时间和日期，并且要确保在晚宴前不久提醒他们。列一个你需要的原料和饮品清单，并努力在晚宴举办前几天把它们买全。晚宴举办前一天收拾一下屋子。如果晚宴当天再收拾屋子的话，你可能会发觉自己的压力比实际所需要的压力更大。让菜单简简单单并不意味着让菜单变得单调乏味。如果你准备的食物可以摆放在饭桌中间，让客人们自己选择食物，那么晚宴的时光也将会更加惬意。你可以播放一些音乐，音乐的类型取决于客人的类型。你可能想不到，晚宴伴随着夜间背景音乐会进展得更加顺利。
   快速浏览各题选项，根据其中的关键词guests、hosts、dinner party、ingredients and drinks、on the party day推测，本文的内容很可能与晚宴有关，具体细节需要讲一步分析各个选项。
