Passage Two

In the U.S., 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 first 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 times for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.

Servings in restaurants are 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 are taking 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. There the waiter or waitress brings you your change.

46. Which of the following statements is true?

A. American people like sitting with people they don?t know. B. Hostess always seat a small group at a large table

C. American people never sit with people they don?t know

A. Tips are not usually included in the total check.

Passage 1

Editor:

These days there has been a lot of talk about cutting a day off the six-day work week. I find one more excuse for taking this system.

It says that under today?s conditions, when our work efficiency is still very low and the work-load quite heavy, we cannot follow the example of technologically advanced western countries in practicing the five-day work week. Their conclusion is: The time is not ripe for such a system.

I really don?t see much point in this argument. They say the efficiency of the majority of our workers has been very low, but do they know what has caused today?s low efficiency? It?s old time requirement that no matter how soon you can get your work done, you must still stick to your post and never leave.

If we do not start a new system that is more exciting now, there are few chances that the low efficiency in our work can be changed.

41. Many people think that a five-day work week system would not work in a country like _______.

A. Japan B. China C. Italy D. Russia 42. It is _______ that caused today?s low efficiency according to the author.

A. the heavy work-load B. the Chinese people?s laziness C. the old time requirement D. the rule that we have to stick to our post
