1. invited 2. kissing 3. a 4. from 5. quietly 6. fifth 7. excited 8. greater 9. myself 10. teaching

1. 句中时间状语Yesterday表示过去，谓语动词要用一般过去时，invite的过去式为invited。
2. 介词by后要接动名词形式，所以kiss变为kissing。
3. 此处泛指一张圆形餐桌，round以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a。
4. 固定搭配be different from表示“与……不同”，填介词from。
5. 此处修饰动词ate，需要用副词形式，quiet的副词是quietly。
6. 此处表示“我的第五次尝试”，要把基数词five变为序数词fifth。
7. 此处修饰人的感受，要用以-ed结尾的形容词，exciting修饰事物，修饰人用excited。
8. 句中出现than表示比较，形容词great要变为比较级greater。
9. 固定搭配enjoy oneself表示“玩得开心”，主语是I，对应的反身代词是myself。
10. 介词for后要接动名词形式，teach变为teaching。

三、Jorge 在旅行中也感受到了食物在不同文化间的传播。读一读他的经历，选择正确的选项回答问题。
An experience in China showed me how food can cross cultures. A Chinese friend took my family to a restaurant in Beijing to show me a famous dish. He told me it was something unique and we didn't eat it before.
Then I found it was ban mian. It was delicious, but I thought I tried it before. Is this not just pasta(意大利面) with Chinese style?
Italian explorer(探险家) Marco Polo brought back pasta
from China in the 13th century. Then it came to the UK and it kept changing.
Over the meal, I also looked back at my family's history. My father's family is Italian. My grandma told me that throwing the pasta on the wall can help to see if it's cooked. If it sticks(粘住), then it's ready to eat. But if it falls, then it still needs time to cook. Do Chinese do the same thing as Italians?
