题目列表(包括答案和解析)
An important question
about eating out is who pays for the meal. If a friendof yours asks you to have
lunch with him, you may say something like this, "I'm afraid it'll have to be someplace cheap, as I have
very little money." The other person may say, "OK, I'll meet you at McDonald's."
This means that the two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also say,
"Oh, no. I want to take you to lunch at Smith's," or "I want you to try the Chinese dumplings there. They're great." This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards this person, you
can go with him and you needn't pay for the meal. You may just say, "Thank you. That would be very
nice."
American customs (1) about who pays for dates (2) are much the same as in other parts of the world.
In the old days, American women wanted men to pay for all the meals. But, today, a university (3) girl or
a woman in business world will usually pay her way during the day. If a man asks her for a dance outside
the working hours, it means "Come, as my guest(4)." So as you can see, it is a polite thing to make the
question clear at the very beginning.
If you can speak English, you know a lot of English words. You can read, speak and understand. But there is another kind of language you need to know—the language of the body.
All over the world, people “talk” with their hands, with their heads and with their eyes. When Japanese people meet, they bow (鞠躬;弯腰). When Indians meet, they put their hands together. What do American and British people do?
Americans are more informal than the British. They like to be friendly. They use first names, they ask questions and they talk easily about themselves. When they sit down, they like to relax in their chairs and make themselves comfortable.
British people are more reserved (矜持的,保守的). They take more time to make friends. They like to know you before they ask you something of your home.
When British and American people meet someone for the first time, they shake hands. They do not usually shake hands with people they know well. Women sometimes kiss their women friends, and men kiss women friends. When a man meets a man friend, he just smiles, and says “Hello”. Men do not kiss each other or hold hands. Even fathers and sons do not often kiss each other.
