Don"t circle your plate with your arms. If you do so, you will become the focus (焦点) of the table.
Everyone would wonder, "Is there anything wrong with the food?" This may give a wrong message that
you don"t like the food or something like that.
Don"t push the plate back when finished. Leave it where it was. Do you want to let the hostess (女主人)know that you"ve just done a labour?
Don"t lean (倚靠) back and say "I"m through" or "I"m full". Just put the fork and knife across the plate.
That"s all.
Don"t cut up everything before you start to eat. Cut only one or two bites (块) at a time. Never take
a huge mouthful of anything. Do you want to show how hungry you are? Don"t do that. It"s not so good.
It"s never good to reach across the table for anything. If the thing you want is not at hand, simply ask
the nearest person for help, like "Mrs. Smith, could you pass me the dish?"
B. the food isn"t good for you
C. there is something wrong with the food

B. stand up and leave the table
C. say "I"m full"
D. say "Thank you"

Washington D.C. is the capital of the United States. It"s the center of national government. It"s a busy, working city with a large population. But what is more, Washington is also a city of history and culture. It is
home to many famous and interesting public buildings and monuments, many of which are connected with
the federal government.
Washington was created in 1790, when Congress (the highest lawmaking body of the United States)
decided to place the nation"s new capital in the east of the country. It was built half way between the
northern and southern states of America. And of course it was named after George Washington, the first
President of the United States.
There are many tourist sights in Washington. Perhaps the most important tourist sight is the Capital
Building. This is the house of the Congress. Another world-famous building in Washington is the White
House. This is the home and office of the President of the United States. Most visitors are, however,
surprised by how small the White House actually is.
Washington is also a great cultural city. The Library of Congress contains one of the largest library
collections in the world. The Smithsonian Museum holds the nation"s largest collection of cultural
materials. And the John F. Kennedy Center is a famous center of art and culture. It has many great
musical and theatre performances throughout the year.

Today, when we think of Western tea culture, we often think of the English and
beautiful china tea cups.
Afternoon tea
People believe that an English lady, Anna, first introduced the idea of
afternoon tea. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the English ate two main meals each
day-breakfast and a heavy supper that would last for several hours in the
evening. As a result, people often got very hungry during the long wait between
these two meals. To solve this problem, Anna came up with the clever idea of
inviting some friends to join her for an afternoon meal between four and five
o"clock. This meal included cakes and sandwiches, and tea was served to wash
down the food. In order to make this afternoon meal important, fine china cups
and plates, and silver teapots, knives, forks and spoons were used.
Soon afternoon tea parties became popular. Today, afternoon tea parties continue
to play an important part in the social life in modern Britain.
Will you come for coffee?
Coffee also has an important role in British culture. People often use the
words "Will you come for coffee?" to mean "Would you like to come to my home
for a chat?" Usually several different drinks such as tea, hot chocolate or a soft
drink like orange juice will be served as well as coffee, and you will be asked
what you would like. However, you will not be offered wine at a "coffee" party.
Coffeehouse and the London Stock Exchange
