阅读短文,选择正确答案。     In the US, people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don"t know. If you are sitting at a table
with people you don"t know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without first asking if it will disturb them.
     At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap (水龙头) water 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 times for stores or restaurants, though they
usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.
     Servings [(食物的)份] in restaurants are often large, too large for many people. If you can"t finish your
meal but would like to enjoy 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. 1. In the US, people prefer to _____ rather than sit with people they don"t know. [     ]

阅读理解。    Tokyo may be one of those places that you love and hate at the same time. In Tokyo, there are always too
many people in the places where I want to go. There are also too many cars. Tokyo drivers often spend a long
time in the busy street, just like drivers in London, Paris and New York.
     Tokyo also has a lot of people on foot, and sometimes it is really difficult to walk in the street. The worst
time in the street is at 11:30 at night. That is because the nightclubs are closing at that time and everybody
wants to go home then. There are 35,000 nightclubs in Tokyo, and usually none of them is empty at night.
     During the day, most people go to work by train. Six million train tickets are sold every year in Tokyo. At
most stations, trains arrive every two or three minutes, but at certain hours it is not enough at all. Although
trains are always crowded, they are very good in many ways. They always leave and arrive on time. In London
trains, you may see everybody reading a newspaper. But in Tokyo trains, everybody seems to be sleepy, no
matter whether his journey is long or short. If you stand outside the station for five minutes, there will be three
fire engines(消防车) going past you. They are on the way to one of the fires that Tokyo has every day. Tokyo
has so many surprises that none of them can really surprise me now. 1. In London, Paris and New York, there are _____ in the street.
