听力原文： In my childhood home, dinner was enjoyed with hushed voices, and the topics open for discussion were very much restricted. We were not allowed to bring up anything that was potentially unappetizing; body functions, bugs, murder and mayhem in general were all strictly forbidden topics. If I had to leave the table to use the toilet, I had to verbally excuse myself without mentioning what it was that I was going to do. "May I be excused, please？ I need to wash my hands." I would say. My mother would say, "Sure." My father would often play a joke on us by saying, "Your hands don't look dirty to me!"
As for eating, we did it quietly. No eating noises were allowed. Everything must be done as quietly as possible. Therefore, we had to eat with our mouths closed. To make a "smacking" noise was, perhaps, the worst offense possible. While drinking soup or coffee or wine "slurping" was also forbidden. If any sound whatever was created by our intake of food or beverage, it constituted bad manners! With that in mind, it was, of course, unthinkable to speak with one's mouth full of food, so speaking only occurred before or after one had taken in food and swallowed it.
How one sits at the table is also prescribed. One is to sit up straight with the recessive hand in one's lap holding a napkin while the dominant hand holds the fork or spoon. The only time one is allowed to have both hands on the table is when one is using a knife to cut something, but as soon as the cutting is done, the recessive hand goes back to the lap. Also, elbows are not allowed on the table. Therefore, one props the arm against the edge of the table just below the elbow. One should never reach for any food on the table; one should ask someone sitting near it to give it to you. "Would you please pass the potatoes？ .... May I trouble you for the salt？" These are phrases that you are likely to hear on any given night of the week at a family dinner.
Which of the following seems an unlikely topic over dinner？
A．The weather is going to be stormy.
B．A child was abused to death by his stepfather.
C．Oscar ceremony.
D．Family reunion at Christmas.

W: Well, to tell the truth, I'm not really crazy about western movies.
M: Oh. Then, is there any particular movie that you'd like to see？ The Return of the Monster ？
W: No, I'm afraid not. I hate science fiction movies. Maybe we shouldn't see a movie. We could go ice skating.
M: I don't really enjoy going ice skating. How about going hiking？
W: Well, I've gone hiking several times in the past few weeks, and I'm pretty tired of it now.
M: Hmm. Why don't we just have dinner together somewhere？
W: That sounds like a good idea. Where would you like to go？
M: Well, one of my favorite places to eat is The Captain's Table.
W: The Captain's Table？ What kind of food do they serve there？
M: Seafood. But if you don't like seafood, we can go some place else.
W: No. On the contrary, I love seafood!
M: You do？ Great!
W: Then we're set. The Captain's Table for dinner on Saturday. What time？

第8题
Very often there is only one main course and salad, followed by your sweet. If you find the meal not enough, say "Oh, it's delicious!" and ask for some more of the chicken or steak or whatever you have just had. The hostess will be very glad that you appreciate her cooking and will give you an extra portion. But if you observe the Chinese way of being polite and say "No, thank you" when the hostess offers you more, you will most probably starve later, because Americans will never press food on you. Yet it is not polite to keep silent and not to talk with the person next to you. It would be considered good manners if you handle your silverware with care so that they don't make any noise. When coffee comes, drink it from your cup. The coffee spoon should rest on the saucer while you are drinking. And smoking, of course, is rarely seen at a dinner table. Well, when the meal is finished, the guests put their napkins on the table and stand up, the men again helping the ladies with their chairs.
After the dinner, the guests usually stay for an hour or two, then they would say, "Well, I'm afraid I must be going now." The host and hostess would of course urge everyone to stay longer. "What, already？ Won't you have another coffee？" The guests, for instance, would say, "I'd love to, but I have to be up early tomorrow morning. Thank you for a most enjoyable evening. Good-night."
And if you stay overnight or over the weekend, it will be courteous to send a thank-you note to the host or hostess the following day, very often with a small gift such as a box of chocolate or some flowers as a token of appreciation of their hospitality.
1.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage？
A.How to Prepare for a Meal.
B.Never Press Food on Your Guest.
C.Table Manners in the U.S.A.
D.How to Enjoy a Dinner.
2.The passage suggests that ______.
A.to make the hostess happy you should ask for more food even if you are full
B.you should keep silent at a dinner table in order to be polite
C.if you want to be friendly with the person next to you, you should press food on him
D.talking is necessary at a dinner table
3.At a dinner table, you do all of the following except ______.
A.making the least noise possible
B.picking up your soup bowl to drink away the last drop
C.handling your silverware with care
D.drinking the coffee from your cup
4.What does "courteous" in the last paragraph mean？
A.Friendly.
B.Generous.
C.Polite.
D.Noble.
5.The passage implies that ______.
A.different nations have different customs
B.Chinese customs are quite similar to American ones
C.both Chinese and Americans have soup before the main course
D.if you are polite, the hostess will press more food on you
第9题
Letter A
Dear Etty Kit,
My roommate's family wants me to have Thanksgiving dinner with them in their home. I accepted the invitation, and I'm excited about going, but I'm a little worried about it, too. The social customs in my country are very different from here, so I'm a little afraid of making mistakes.
Should I bring a gift, such as candy(糖果) or flowers？ Should I arrive on time or a little late？ At the dinner table, how can I know which fork or knife to use？ How can I let the family know that I'm thankful for their kindness？
Yours sincerely,
Confused
Letter B
Dear Confused,
It's a good idea to bring a small gift when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always nice, or you might bring a bottle of wine if you know that the family drinks it.
You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Don't get there early. If you are going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them.
Try to be free at the dinner table. If you don't know about choosing the correct fork, knife, or spoon ,just watch the other people ,and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, don't be shy about asking the person next to you. It's better to ask than to be quietly uncomfortable and nervous.
If you like the food, say so. Of course, you'll thank the host and hostess for the meal and for their kindness. It's also a good idea to send a card or thank-you note the day after.
Yours,
Etty Kit

第10题
As my wife greeted me one evening, her voice came through the door, "Guess what？"
I always take a deep【C1】______on this very leading question. "What？" I asked.
"I just won a sales contest at work and the【C2】______is dinner for two at the new fancy restaurant down by the river-front!"
She was so【C3】______. We knew the restaurant was extremely good. "See？ I told you there would be a【C4】______for me to wear my new spring outfit," she shyly reminded me.
"【C5】______can play at that game," I responded, "I will wear my gray suit, my Borsalino-imported straw hat and a new silk tie. We will be well【C6】______." It was early【C7】______and nearing dusk as the waiter took us to a table by a window, with a(n)【C8】______of the river. And the table was【C9】______set, with a smoke-gray table cloth and bright colored napkins.
A delicious meal【C10】______in such an atmosphere should be remembered a long time. As it【C11】______, this will probably never be forgotten.
As the shadows lengthened, the【C12】______rocking by the riverbank, I murmured, "Why not take a walk？"
Hand in hand, we walked by the stores. People smiled and nodded. "I【C13】______realized there were so many【C14】______people as we have seen this evening, dear," I observed.
"Probably your new straw hat or your【C15】______," she said.
After receiving many smiles, we【C16】______ourselves back at the restaurant, looking at ourselves in the【C17】______. It was then that I saw the【C18】______for all the smiles.
Caught in the fly of my trousers and【C19】______down for all to see was a bright red【C20】______from the restaurant!

第11题
Dear Sir,
I am writing 【C1】______ a strong complaint about the 【C2】______ treatment my guests, my colleague and I received when we visited your restaurant last Friday evening. On hooking a table for four by telephone on Tuesday we were 【C3】______ that there would be room for us despite the fact that you had only been 【C4】______ for a few weeks and were already booked.
We appreciate that there must be great 【C5】______ for restaurant meals at this time of the year in such a popular and 【C6】______ area but we were not expecting such an ill-mannered reception on the part of your head waiter.
Our Chinese friends are currently touring the "Shakespeare country" and were looking forward to a traditional English dinner in such a charming setting. But our hopes 【C7】______ an enjoyable evening out were instantly spoilt when your head waiter informed us that he had received no booking in our name and, so, no table was 【C8】______ for our party. My colleague and I protested at this and asked to speak to the manager, who, we were told, was unavailable. Your staff then offered us a table which we all had to share with another couple and no effort was made to 【C9】______ the unpleasantness we had experienced. We also had to wait some 【C10】______ time before the menu was brought to us.
I trust you will give this complaint your prompt attention as the whole embarrassing incident was a great. disappointment to our guests and sets a bad example of our English hospitality.
Yours sincerely,
Paul J. Weller
