       In the US, people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don't know. 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 (自来水) before you order. You may find bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill(续杯).
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 (一份) 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.

A、American people like sitting with people they don't know. B、You may find bread and coffee is free. C、American people never sit with people they don't know. D、American people won't light a cigarette if the people who sit at the same table mind their smoking.
(2)、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.
(3)、What can you learn about “tips” according to the passage?

A、Customers often add tips to their check. B、Tips are supposed to be left on the table when customers leave. C、People don't need to pay tips. D、The price of the meal usually includes the tip.

阅读下面语言材料,根据要求作答。根据短文内容,判断文后句子的正确(T)与错误(F)
"How are you?" is a nice question. It's a friendly way that people in the U.S.A greet each other. But "How are you?" is also a very unusual question. It's a question that often doesn't need an answer. The person who asks" How are you?" hopes to hear the answer "Fine", even if the person's friend isn't fine. The reason is that "How are you?" isn't really a question and "Fine" isn't really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying "Hello" or "Hi".
Sometimes, people also don't say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone Asks "Do you agree?", the other person might think, "No, I disagree. I think you're Wrong..."But it isn't very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say "I'm not sure." It's a nicer way to say that you don't agree with someone.
People also don't say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person say "I've to go now." Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse: "Someone's at the door.""Something is burning on the stove." The excuses might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn't want to talk any more, but it isn't polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn't hurt the other person.
Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people don't say exactly that they are thinking. It's an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it's part of the game of language.

Having a blood y nose can make some people nervous, but in most cases, nosebleeds(流鼻血) are easy to stop and not so serious. Around three out of five people will have a bloodynose in their lifetime. Nosebleeds mostly happen among children from 2 to 10 years old and among adults aged 50 to 80.

◆What causes a bloody nose?

Most nosebleeds are caused by picking the nose and dry air. Blowing your nose too often when you have a cold can also lead to nosebleeds. All of these break the tiny vessels(血管) inside the nose, causing them to bleed. Causes of more serious nosebleeds include a head injury, a genetic disease, or, in some cases, a tumor.

◆How to stop a bloody nose right away?

You may know how to stop a blood y nose right away, but it's important to do it properly and safely.

Always sit up straight when your nose is bleeding, and never lie on your back. One of the biggest mistakes in first aid is that you should lean(倾斜) back with a bloody nose, but the best thing to do is leaning forward. The blood needs to go somewhere, and if the person leans back or lies down, it will most likely go down his throat, possibly causing choking(窒息). And try not to put something into your nose.

Pinching(捏住) the nose properly stops or slows the bleeding. Hold the nose for at least five minutes. Do not let go to check for bleeding until at least the first five minutes are up. If you can, keep pinching for longer.

After five minutes, see if the bleeding has stopped. If not, pinch again, but keep it up for 10 minutes this time. Remember: Don't let go to check for bleeding until the 10 minutes are up. If bleeding doesn't stop after that time, pinch it for another 10 minutes if necessary.

Remember that if you can't stop the nosebleed with these ways, see a doctor immediately.

◆What not to do after a bloody nose?

After a light nosebleed, do not lie down until 20 minutes later, but at least 30minutes or even an hour later after a bad nosebleed. Don't lift heavy things or pick your nose for a day. You should not blow your nose for at least two days.
