If someone is late，the food may be spoiled(变味)，and   22  may the host or hostess’ spirits．If you have to be  23  ， call and tell them to start   24  you．

It’s even worse to be early! The host or hostess will probably not be   25  ．If you are early，drive or walk around the block a few times，or just sit in your car until the right time．
