阅读下面短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个恰当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。

Every culture is riddled with unwritten rules, such as ones on punctuality (守时). I’m British. Soon after moving to Switzerland, I ____11____(throw) a house-warming party and was greatly surprised when all 30 guests showed up ____12____(exact) on time. Years later, having moved to France. I turned up at the appointed hour for a dinner, only to find that no other guest____13____(arrive) and my hostess was still in her sleeping suit.

答案解析：

11. threw

解析：根据句子中的"Years later"可知，这里描述的是过去发生的事情，所以应该使用过去时态。主语"I"是第一人称单数，所以动词应该用过去时的"threw"。

12. exactly

解析：这里需要一个副词来修饰动词"showed up"，表示客人们到达的时间非常准时。"Exact"是形容词，其副词形式是"exactly"。

13. had arrived

解析：根据句子结构，这里需要用到过去完成时态，因为"find"是过去的动作，而"arrive"是发生在"find"之前的动作。所以应该使用"had arrived"。
