Reading comprehension(阅读理解)

　　My friend Alice decided to be a nurse when she was four years old. She always wanted to play as “doctor and nurse” with her playmates. When she left school last year she still wanted to be a real nurse. One day she saw an advertisement(广告) in the newspaper:

　　DO YOU WANT TO HELP PEOPLE?

　　STUDY NURSING

　　SEND THIS FORM TO US FOR MORE INFORMATION

　　Alice filled in the form with her name and address. She cut it out and posted it at once.

　　Last September she started her study in a big hospital in Newcastle. She had to work very hard. She went to classes every day and studied late into the night. The really important day came : her first day in a ward(病房). At last she was really helping sick people, not just sitting in classes or learning from books.

　　At first, student nurses do lots of small jobs in the ward. They help to serve meals, or wash the patients. They also keep the ward tidy and make the beds. They cannot give injections(注射) or help the doctors. One of Alice's first jobs was in a ward of old people. She was told to clean all the patients' false(假的) teeth. She collected all the teeth and took them to the bathroom. Instead of cleaning each set of teeth one by one she put them all into one big bowl.

　　“It'll be quicker this way,” she said to herself. “Then I can give back everyone's teeth in a few minutes.”

　　Give back everyone's teeth! Alice stood in the middle of the ward with her big bowl of teeth. She had no idea which teeth belonged to which old man! You can imagine the confusion(混乱) the next half hour when each patient had to find his own teeth.

　　In Venezuela, there are some special rules of etiquette that people usually follow when they are dining. You need to keep in mind the following things:

　　·None of the guests should talk with just one person. The conversation should be with everybody. In addition, it should be related to topics interesting for both men and women.

　　·In a formal dinner, the guest is never served more than once. The only thing that can be served more than once is the dessert, the liquor , and the wind.

　　·It is not polite to refuse a plate. If you don’t want something, just eat a small portion.

　　It’s important to_______________________

　　·The first plate (the appetizer开胃小吃)should always be served on a separate plate.

　　·The silverware should be placed in the same order that it will be used: the first one much farther away from the plate and the last one much nearer the plate. The forks or the desserspoons can be placed on the table when the dessert is served.

　　·The wine and water glasses are placed in front of the plate to the right of each guest. The water glass is on the left side. When we serve the coffee and liquors, we should bring the bottles and the glasses on a tray.

　　·Finally, as a sign of good taste, we usually offer the guests a little humid towel with water and lemon so they can clean their hands, even if they never get their fingers dirty during the meal. This should be done after the dessert is finished.

　　By following these little rules, you will be successful at your dinner, as a guest or as a hostess.
