完形填空。
When I first came to the USA, I made friends with a neighbor who used to live only two blocks away from my street．We used to visit each other and go out together sometimes．This friend taught me a lot about American 1 , but in some cases I had to learn the 2 way, because we didn't have enough time together for me to learn all about American culture from him．
One day this same friend invited me to a party．It wasn't a(n) 3 party, only some kind of informal get-together．Since it was 4 time, we had a cookout． 5 most of his American friends and relatives were known to me, but there were others I had never met before．
It was the most 6 party for me when I noticed that everybody was wearing jeans and simple T-shirts for the day, 7 I arrived in proper dress with my shoes and my hair all fixed for a fancy party．It was hard to explain my embarrassment to the other 8 ．When one of them turned around and said,“What nice clothes!What's the occasion?”I felt my 9 burning hot．I didn't 10 at all．If she knew how 11 I already felt, she wouldn't have said that to me．
Maybe she didn't 12 to make me feel uncomfortable, but my reaction had to do with the way I already felt．
Many times I thought of going home and 13 but I knew they would 14 ．It would be even 15 for me because I knew they would quickly think that I felt out of 16 ．So I wanted to pretend that I was 17 ．
I have already realized their 18 are different from mine．They care less about formality(形式) 19 it is a special occasion, like 20 or a very formal invitation．
