In the US, people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don’t know. This means a hostess may not seat a small group until a small table is available, even if a large one is. If you are sitting at a table with people you don’t know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without asking if it will disturb them.

At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water before you order. You may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill.

Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing time for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.

Serving in restaurants is often large; too large for many people. If you can’t finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a “doggie bag”. It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows you’re taking the food for yourself.

Supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal. Some people have “Sunday dinner”. This is an especially big noon meal.

Tips are not usually added to the check. They are not included in the price of the meal, either. A tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave. In some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change.

1.Which statement is true?

A. American people like sitting with people they don’t know.

B. A hostess always seats a small group at a large table.

C. American people never sit with people they don’t know.

D. American people will not light a cigarette if the people who sit at the same table mind their smoking.

2.What is served before you order?

A. bread            B. butter           C. coffee       D. cold water

3.What do American people always do when servings are too large for them?

A. They take the food home with a doggie bag for their dogs.

B. They leave the food on the table and go away.

C. They take the food home with a doggie bag and enjoy the food later.

D. They ask the waitress or waiter to keep the food for them.

4.Sunday dinner is_______.

A. a dinner in the evening          B. A big noon meal

C. a big lunch on Sunday            D. A supper on Sunday

One silly question I simply can’t stand is “How do you feel?” Usually the question is asked of a man in action—a man on the go, walking along the streets, or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? He’ll probably say, “Fine, I’m all right,” but you have put a bug  in his ear—maybe now he’s not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, or his walk, that he overlooked(忽略) that morning. It starts worrying him a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else “How do you feel?” Every question has its time and place. It’s perfectly acceptable, for instance, to ask “How do you feel?” if you’re visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to take a train, or sitting at his desk working, it’s silly to ask him that silly question. When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays, was in his eighties, someone asked him. “How do you feel?” Shaw put him in his place. “When you reach my age”, he said, “either you feel all right or you’re dead.”

1.According to the writer, greetings such as “How do you feel?” _______.

A. show one’s consideration for others    

B. are a good way to make friends

C. are proper to ask a man in action           

D. generally make one feel uneasy

A. a man working at his desk   

B. a person having lost a close friend

C. a stranger who looks somewhat worried

D. a friend who is ill

3.George Bernard Shaw’s reply in the passage shows his _______.

A. cheerfulness                                B. cleverness   

C. ability                                    D. politeness

4.“You’ve put a bug in his ear” means that you’ve _______.

A. made him laugh                           

B. shown concern for him

C. made fun of him                       

D. given him some kind of warning
