| As we all know British love queues, but there is no real line-up(队列) in a bar - and the bar workers do know whose turn it is. But there still are some rules. For example, don’t speak loudly, or snap your fingers. And whatever you do, please don’t ring the bell hanging behind the counter(柜台)-this is used by the boss to tell people it’s closing time. Remember if you look too pleased and happy, the bar workers will think they have served you. In a British bar always say "please" and try to remember the things that the British bar workers hate. For example, they don’t like people to keep others waiting when they can’t decide what to drink. They don"t like people standing against the bar when there are a lot of customers waiting for service. One tourist who spent six months interviewing 50 bosses and more than 1,000 customers said, "I can not understand how the British are able to buy themselves a drink. But they do, and if you follow these rules you should be able to do so, too." Talking of tips(小费), you should never offer the bar workers a cash gratuity(现金小费). The correct behavior is to invite them to drink something. If so, they will think that their work is worthy. A cash gratuity is unfriendly and impolite. |

| 4. What is the Chinese meaning of the underlined word "customers"? |
| A. 服务员 B. 顾客 C. 经理 D. 病人 |

| 阅读理解。 Some British and American people like to invite friends for a meal at home. You should not be upset(不安的) if your English friends don"t invite you home. It doesn"t mean they don"t like you. Dinner parties usually start between 7 and 8 pm and end at about 11. Ask your hosts (主人) what time you should arrive. It"s polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a gift. Usually the evening starts with drinks and snacks (小吃). If you want to be extra polite, say how much you like the room, or the pictures on the wall. But remember: it"s not polite to ask how much things cost. In many families, the husband sits at one of the table and the wife sits at the other end. They eat with their guests. You"ll probably start the meal with soup or something small, then you"ll have meat or fish with vegetables, and then dessert (甜点心), followed by coffee. It"s polite to finish everything on your plate and to take more if you want it. Did you enjoy the evening? Call your hosts the next day, or write them a short "thank you" letter.

| What is your favourite colour? Ask famous persons like Cat Blanchett, Scarlett Johansson, and Bono (singer for the band U2), and maybe they wil say “green”. That’s not because these artists particularly like the color green. Instead, they are interested in green fashion.

But today, green fashion is different. It is about looking good and caring about the Earth and other people. You can have interesting clothes and be green.

They are made from natural fabrics(面料) like cotton and wool. Workers who make the clothes are from countries like Nepal, Kenya, and Bangladesh.
