【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.
