BI hated dinner parties .But I decided to give them another shot because Im in London. And my friend Mallery invited me . And because dinner parties in London are very different from those in New York, Im having a dinner party means : Im booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you cant afford and well be sharing the cheque evenly , no matter what you eat. Worse, in Manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives .Theyll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who dont drink, end up paying even more . But if try to use the same trick , the hostess will shout; Where are you going ? And its not like I can say I have somewhere to go : everyone knows I have nowhere to go.But in London, dinner parties are in peoples homes . Not only that, the guests are an interesting mix .The last time I went to one , the guests were from France , India ,Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations . In New York ,the mix is less striking . Its like a gathering at Bloomingdales , a well-known department store.For New Yorkers, talking ,talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in New Yorkers. But at Mallerys , when I side that I had been to Myanmar recently, people knew where it was , In New Yorkers people would think it was a usual club.第60题：What does the word “shot” in Paragraph I probably mean?A.
