cherish, till death do us part". Following the Vows, the couple exchange rings. Wearing the wedding ring on
the fourth finger of the left hand is an old custom.
After the ceremony there is often a party, called a "reception", which gives the wedding guests an
opportunity to congratulate the new couple.

Long ago, there was a kind of dinner called Dutch treat. At a Dutch treat, the invited guests were expected
to pay for their own share of the food and drink. Now, Dutch treat means when friends go out to have fun,
each person pays his or her own share.
There are many other expressions related with "Dutch" in American English. However, most of them were
first used in England in the 17th century. At that time, the British and the Dutch were war enemies. So when
British people talked about something wrong or bad, they would like to use the word"Dutch".
A common expression heard a few years ago was in Dutch. A friend may tell you,"You are in Dutch. The
teacher is angry with you. Be careful!" When a soldier took Dutch leave, he left the army without permission.
Dutch courage was the false courage produced by the effects of drinking wine.
There is one expression that did come from the Dutch. That is to talk like a Dutch uncle. The Dutch were
known for the strict and serious way they educated their children.
B. Each person should pay his or her own bill.
C. The food should be better next time.
D. People should go to another restaurant.
B. were mistaken for Dutch people
C. got along well with the Dutch people
D. used the word "Dutch" for something bad
B. he is lucky
C. he is in trouble
D. he is on vacation
B. would take a Dutch leave

are technical words. When there is a new invention of discovery, a new word may be coined (杜撰) after the
inventor or scientist.
It is interesting to observe how many common words have found their way into the language from the
names of people. Lord Sandwich, who lived from 1718-1792, used to sit at the gambling (赌博) table eating
bread with meat in between. As the Lord was the only one among his friends who ate bread in that way, his
friends began to call the bread "sandwich" for fun. Later on,the word became part of the English language.
The word "boycott" means to refuse to have anything to do with somebody or something. It comes from
a man called Captain Boycott. He was a land agent in 1880 and he collected rents and taxes for an English
landowner in Ireland. But the Captain was a very harsh (苛刻的) man. He treated his poor tenants (佃户) very
badly. His tenants decided not to speak to him at all. Eventually word got back to the landowner and the
Captain was removed (免除). The word "boycott" became popular and was used by everyone to mean the kind
of treatment that was received by Captain Boycott.
B. languages
C. English words
D. new discoveries
B. the friends of Lord Sandwich
C. inventors
D. scientists
B. the English landowner
C. the harsh land agent
D. to speak
about tea. People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, mainly because tea was very
expensive. It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from
Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to use it. They
thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt.
They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give
them to their children as sandwiches. Tea remained scarce and very expensive in England until the ships of
the East In-dia Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century. During the next
few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could af-ford to buy it. At the
same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea. Until then tea had been drunk
without milk in it, but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted
like when milk was added. She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. Because
she was such a great lady her friends thought they must copy everything she did, so they also drank their tea
with milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Brit-ons (British
people) drink tea without milk. At first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening. No one ever thought
of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess (公爵夫人) found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three
or four o"clock stopped her getting" a sinking feeling" as she called it. She invited her friends to have this new
meal with her and so, tea-time was born.

B. how tea became a popular drink in Britain
C. how the Britons got the habit of drinking tea
