     An important question about eating out is who pays for the meal. If a friend of yours asks you to have
lunch with him, you may say something like this, "I'm afraid it'll have to be someplace cheap, as I have
very little money." The other person may say,"OK, I'll meet you at McDonald's. "
     This means that the two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also say,
"Oh, no. I want to take you to lunch at Smith's," or "I want you to try the Chinese dumplings there. 
They're great." This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards this
person, you can go with him and you needn't pay for the meal. You may just say, "Thank you. That
would be very nice".
     American customs about who pays for dates (絢會) are much the same as them in other parts of the
world. In the old days, American women wanted men to pay for all the meals. But today, a university
girl or a woman in business world will usually pay her way during the day. If a man asks her for a dance
outside the working hours, it means "Come, as my guest". So as you can see, it is a polite thing to make
the question clear at the very beginning.
1. The passage tells us _          .
A. how to eat out
B. who pays for the meal
C. what to eat out
2. If you have little money, _          
A. you'Il have a cheap meal
B. you'll borrow some from others
C. you'll ask your friend to pay for your meal
3.  "Go Dutch" 'in this passage means             .
A. 丟飯館          
B. 各自付款      
C. 訂餐
4.  Sometimes your friend takes you to lunch.  It means _          .
A. he's going to lend some money to you
B. he's going to pay for your meal, too
C. he'll be angry with you
5.  In America, some girls and women              now.

    One day, a little boy selling magazines knocked at the man's door. The door slowly opened. "Uh, sir, would
you like to buy a magazine?" The old man just stared (盯著) at the boy. The boy saw lots of dog sculptures
(雕塑品)on the table. "Do you collect dogs?" the boy asked. "Yes, they are all my family." Hearing this, the
boy understood and felt sorry for him." I have a magazine here about dogs. It's perfect for you." The old man
was ready to close the door and said, "No, I don't need any magazines."
    The boy suddenly had an idea. He had a dog sculpture, which did not mean much to him. After a while, the
boy returned with a box. The old man shouted this time,"I told you no magazines!" "I bring you a gift." The
boy opened the box and handed him the sculpture. The man got surprised because no one had given him a gift.
From that day on, the old man started coming out of his house. He and the boy became friends. The boy even

      When I was 14, I was too nervous to talk to anyone. My classmates often laughed at me. I was sad,
but I could do nothing. Later, something happened. It changed my life. It was an English speech contest.
My mother asked me to take part in it. What a terrible idea! It meant that I had to speak before all the
teachers and students of my school.
      "Come on, boy, believe in yourself. You are sure to win." Then my mother and I talked about many
different topics. At last, I chose the subject "Believe in yourself". I tried my best to remember the whole
speech and practiced it over 100 times. With my mother's great love, I did well in the contest. I could hardly
believe my eyes when the news came that I had won the first place. I heard the cheers from the teachers
and students. Those classmates who looked down on me, now said "Congratulations!" to me. My mother
hugged me and cried excitedly.
