Css 菜单列表-文本区域的背景色不为'；悬停时不要改变

我的列表菜单有问题

鼠标悬停时，

背景色

会改变，但只要在框区域，

文本区域

背景不会改变

我想找到一种方法来实现这一点：

这是我的密码：

<div class="services">
                <ul>
                    <li class="general"><a href="" title="" >General</a></li>
                    <li><a href="" title="" >Marketing and Brand Strategy</a></li>
                    <li><a href="" title="" >Events and Launches at Exhibitions</a></li>    
                        <li><a href="" title="" >PR / Press releases,</a></li>
                    <li><a href="" title="" >Distribution and sales</a></li>
                    <li><a href="" title="" >Media and social media</a></li?
                </ul>
            </div>

CSS:

.services ul { display: block; padding: 0; margin: 0; }
    .services ul li{ list-style-type: none; background: #ffffff; line-height: 47px; border-top: 1px solid white; font-size: 12pt; width:350px  }
    .services ul li:hover{ list-style-type: none; background: #efefef; line-height: 47px; border-top: 1px solid white; font-size: 12pt; }
    .services ul ul:hover >a{ list-style-type: none; background: #efefef; line-height: 47px; border-top: 1px solid white; font-size: 12pt;  }
    .services ul li a{ width:100%; color: black; padding: 0 12px; font-family: 'Lora', serif; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; }
    .services ul li a:hover{ width:100%; color: black; padding: 0 12px; font-family: 'Lora', serif; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none;background-color:#efefef; }

删除标记的“背景色”属性。我的意思是从css的最后两行中删除它。它会起作用的

    .services ul { display: block; padding: 0; margin: 0; }
    .services ul li{ list-style-type: none; background: #ffffff; line-height: 47px; border-top: 1px solid white; font-size: 12pt; width:350px  }
    .services ul li:hover{ list-style-type: none; background: #efefef; line-height: 47px; border-top: 1px solid white; font-size: 12pt; }
    .services ul ul:hover >a{ list-style-type: none; background: #efefef; line-height: 47px; border-top: 1px solid white; font-size: 12pt;  }
    .services ul li a{ width:100%; color: black; padding: 0 12px; font-family: 'Lora', serif; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none;}
    .services ul li a:hover{ width:100%; color: black; padding: 0 12px; font-family: 'Lora', serif; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; }

抱歉，jsut有一件事，如果我想让背景颜色变灰，当它被选中时，我该如何管理它？@user3439889 OK。。当你选择背景色时，你希望背景色变成灰色是什么意思？？？
    .services ul { display: block; padding: 0; margin: 0; }
    .services ul li{ list-style-type: none; background: #ffffff; line-height: 47px; border-top: 1px solid white; font-size: 12pt; width:350px  }
    .services ul li:hover{ list-style-type: none; background: #efefef; line-height: 47px; border-top: 1px solid white; font-size: 12pt; }
    .services ul ul:hover >a{ list-style-type: none; background: #efefef; line-height: 47px; border-top: 1px solid white; font-size: 12pt;  }
    .services ul li a{ width:100%; color: black; padding: 0 12px; font-family: 'Lora', serif; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none;}
    .services ul li a:hover{ width:100%; color: black; padding: 0 12px; font-family: 'Lora', serif; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; }
