In the US, people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people the y don’t know. This means a hostess may not seat a small group until a small table is available, even if a large one is. 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 the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill.
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 in restaurants is often large, too large for many people. If you can’t finish your meal but would like to enj oy 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. A hostess always seats a small group at a large table.
C. American people never sit with people they don’t know.

A. Bread.
B. Butter.
C. Coffee.
D. Cold water.
58.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.

In earliest times, men considered lightning to be one of the great mysteries (神秘事物) of nature. Some ancient peoples believed that lightning and thunder were the weapons (武器) of the gods.
In reality, lightning is a flow of electricity formed high above the earth. A single flash of lightning 1.6 kilometres long has enough electricity to light one million light bulbs.
The American scientist and statesman, Benjamin Franklin, was the first to show the connection between electricity and lightning in 1752. In the same year he also built the first lightning rod (避雷针). This device protects buildings from being damaged by lightning.
Modern science has discovered that one stroke (闪击) of lightning has a voltage (电压) of more than 15 million volts (伏特). A flash of lightning between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers, and travel at a speed of 30 million meters per second.
Scientists judge that there are about 2,000 million flashes of lightning per year. Lightning hits the Empire State Building in New York City 30 to 48 times a year. In the United States alone it kills an average (平均数) of one person every day.
The safest place to be in case of an electrical storm is in a closed car. Outside, one should go to low ground and not get under trees. Also, one should stay out of water and away from metal fences. Inside a house, people should avoid opening doorways and windows and not touch wires or metal things.
With lightning, it is better to be safe than sorry!
67.People once thought lightning came from.
A. the sky
B. the gods
C. the earth
D. nature
68.According to the passage what do you think all buildings need?
A. Metal fences.
B. Electricity
C. lightning rods.
D. Machines
69.Which of the following is NOT true?
A. In the U.S about one person per day dies from lightning.
B. The Empire State Building frequently gets hit by lightning.
C. Swimming during a thunderstorm is a good idea.
D.A closed car is the best place to be during an electrical storm.
70.Lightning is probably to man.
A. useful
B. kind
C. useless
D. friendly

71 Many Americans make a promise that they will find a new or better job in the new year. And many businesses decide to fill empty positions this time of year. There are many ways to find a job. It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. 72 Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers. 73 Now, people in 450 cities around the world are using the Web to meet people or find a job. It is estimated that two million new job listings are offered each month. 74 It is because almost every one of them has the Career Exploration center for people to get help in finding a job.
Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example, there is a book called What Color is Your Parachhute? by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career since it was first published in 1970. 75 They can help people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests.

Dear Li Ming,
To my opinion, when you reach London, the first place you should have set out for is Big Ben, where can be heard all over the world on BBC. Big Ben takes its name from Sir Benjamin Hall in 1858, who was responsible for the making of the world-famous clock at that time. It only has a very big size, but is extreme accurate as well. Officials from Greenwich Observatory have the clock check twice a day. On BBC, you can hear a clock when it is striking because microphones are connected to the clock tower. Big Ben has hardly gone wrong up till now. Once, therefore, it failed to give the correct time. A painter who worked on the tower hung a pot of paints on one of the hands and slowed it down!
Yours,
Mary

Dear Editor,
I’m a senior middle school student. Now many students use mobile phones .
Yours sincerely
答案
In my opinion, the classroom is a place for students to gain knowledge. Therefore quietness is badly needed for us to learn our lessons. Those with mobile phones shouldn’t take mobile phones to the classroom. We are
supposed to concentrate on our studies. The school should make it a rule to forbid the students to use mobile phones in the classroom.
Yours sincerely
Li Hua。
