B. Read the passage carefully, then decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false

(F).

When you go to the party in Atlantica, don't bring a gift. If you do so, our hosts will believe that

you think they are poor.

Never arrive on time in Atlantica. Come one or two hours late because your hosts will not be on

time themselves. In Atlantica, all schedules (even airline schedules) run on 'elastic time'.

At dinner time, eat only what the hosts serve you. If you ask for something special, the host try to

get what you want, even if they have to go out to the store that evening. And never look at the other

guests while you eat. Instead, look down at your food. Use a spoon for all food, even hard foods like

fried meat.
