         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.

    Notes:  (1) custom n. 风俗 (2) date n. 约会 (3) university n. 大学 (4) guest n. 客人

    The Origin of April Fools' Day

    　　April Fools' Day is a custom (风俗习惯) of playing jokes and tricks(恶作剧) on each other in some European countries and North America on April 1st. It is said to have begun in France in the middle of the 16th century.

    　　Before that time, one calendar (日历) was used throughout Europe. Under this calendar, people celebrated (庆祝) April 1st as the beginning of a new year. In 1564, King Charles Ⅸ of France declared (宣布) that each new year was to begin on January 1st according to a new calendar. Most people accepted it, but there were some people who didn't like the idea of the change and refused to accept the New Year's Day on January 1st. Soon people played jokes and tricks on them and called them “April Fools” (四月愚人) because they continued to regard April 1st as their New Year's Day. From then on, April Fools' Day came into being.
