Passage 1

Very few people were coming to eat at the White Rose Restaurant, and its owner didn’t know what to do. The food in his restaurant was cheap and good, but nobody seemed to want to eat there.

Then he did something that changed all that, and in a few weeks his restaurant was always full of men and their lady friends. Whenever a gentleman came with a lady, a smiling waiter gave each of them a beautiful menu（菜谱）. The menus looked exactly the same on the outside, but there was an important difference inside. The menu that the waiter handed to the man gave the correct price for each dish and each

Passage 2

Mrs Jones’s telephone number was 3463, and the number of the cinema in her town was 3464, so people often made a mistake when they wanted the cinema.

One evening the telephone bell rang and Mrs Jones answered it. A tired man said, “At what time does your last film begin?”

“ I’m sorry,” said Mrs Jones, “but you have the wrong number. This is not the cinema.”

“Oh, it began twenty minutes ago,”said the man. “I’m sorry about that. Goodbye.”

Mrs Jones was very surprised, so she told her husband. Mr Jones laughed and said, “The man’s wife wanted to go to the cinema, but he was feeling tired, so he telephoned the cinema. His wife heard him, but she didn’t hear you. Now they will stay at home this evening, and the husband will be happy.

11. Why do people often telephone Mrs Jones when they want the cinema?
