It means “holy evening”, and it comes every October 31, the evening before All Saints’ Day. However, it is not really a church holiday; it is a holiday for children mainly. Every autumn, when the vegetables are ready to eat, children pick large orange pumpkins. Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put a candle burning inside. It looks as if there were a person, looking out of the pumpkin! These lights are called jack-o’-lanterns, which means “Jack of the lantern”. The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Halloween. Some children paint their faces to look like monsters. Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house. Every time they come to a new house, they say, “Trick or treat! ” The grown-ups put a treat-money or candy in their bags.’ Not only children, most grown-ups also love Halloween and Halloween parties. Because on this day, they can disguise themselves as the personages or ghosts as their imaginations will lead them. This will bring them the satisfaction of being young. 66.

This means a hostess may not seat a small group until a small table is available, even if a large one is. If you are sitting at a table with people you don’t know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette first without asking if it will disturb them. At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap 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 time for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day. 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 in on the table when you leave. In some restaurant, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change. 70. Which statement is TRUE? A. American people like sitting with people they don’t know. B. A hostess always seats a small group at a large table. C. American people never sit with people they don’t know. D. American people would not light a cigarette if the people who sit at the same table mind their smoking. 71. What is served before you order? A. Bread. B. Butter. C. Coffee. D. Cold water. 72. What do American people always do when servings are too large for them? A. They take the food home with a doggie bag for their dogs. B. They leave the food on the table and go away. C. They take the food home with a doggie bag and enjoy the food later. D. They ask the waitress or the waiter to keep the food for them. 73. Sunday dinner is _____. A. a dinner in the evening B. a big noon meal C. a big lunch on Sunday. D. a supper on Sunday. C What’s your idea of a good time? What about dancing in a rainy field with one hundred and fifty thousand other people while a famous rock band plays on a stage so far away that the performance look like ants? It may sound strange but that is what many hundreds of young people in the UK do every summer. Why? Because summer is the time for outdoor festivals. Held on a farm, the Glastonbury Festival is the most well-known and popular in the UK. It began in 1970 and was attended, by one thousand five hundred people each paying an admission price of ￡1 --- the ticket included free milk from the farm. Since then the Glastonbury Festivals has gone from strength to strength ---in 2004 one hundred and fifty thousand fans attended, paying ￡112 for tickets to the three-day event. Tickets for the event sold out within three hours. Acts included veteran superstars, such as Paul McCartney and James Brown, as well as new talent, like Franz Ferdinand and Joss Stone. (责任编辑：admin) |
