Eating Habits

    An important question about eating out is who pays for the meal. If a friend of yours asks you to have lunch with him, you may say something like this, "I'm afraid it'll have to be some place 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 Johnson's", or "I want you to try the steak (牛排) there. It's 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 (风俗) about who pays for dates (约会)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 (大学) girl or a woman in the business world will usually pay her way during the day. If a man asks her to dinner or a dance outside the working hours, it means "come as my guest (客人). "So as you can see, it is a polite thing to make the question clear at the very beginning(开始).

(1)、In the old days __________ often paid for all the meals.
A、women B、men C、university students D、businessmen
(2)、"To go Dutch" means to _________.
A、go to play outside B、eat out C、pay for oneself D、go to a cheaper eating-place
(3)、"McDonald's" here means        .
A、a tea house B、a gate C、an office D、an eating-place
(4)、If you feel friendly to the person,        .
A、you should pay for him B、you needn't pay for him C、you can accept his invitation D、you can't accept his invitation
(5)、We'd better know who will pay for the meal        .
A、at the beginning B、at the end    C、in the middle of the meal D、after drinking
举一反三
 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

Have you ever played with another dog around your dog or played with a different dog when you're taking a walk? Many dogs don't like it when they're not the center of their owners' attention. Whether it's a new baby or the cute little dog next door, there's a good point that your dog doesn't want to share your love with anyone else. Some people may think that jealousy is a human-only feeling. But it's not true.

A few years ago, researchers at the University of California, San Diego, found that dogs showed jealous actions when their owners showed love toward another dog.

For the study, researchers watched videos of interactions (互动) between 36 dogs and their owners in their homes. Researchers had the owners pay no attention to their dogs but play with a robotic dog, which was treated as a real dog. Owners talked to it sweetly and shared everything with it.

About 60% of the dogs were likely to touch or push their owners when they were interacting with the robotic dog. About one-third of the dogs tried to get between the owner and the robotic dog and some even barked at "the other dog".

"Our study suggests that dogs not only show jealous actions but also try to break up the relationship between the owner and a seeming competitor," said Professor Christine Harris, one of the researchers.

Therefore, your dog might act differently when he's trying to get your attention and maybe experiencing feelings of jealousy. For example, he may draw your attention by licking (舔) you, or he may suddenly run into the bathroom to get attention or even to show displeasure. So if you have more than one pet, be sure to give them the same attention so that any of them will, not feel forgotten.
