Very few people were coming to eat at the White Rose Restaurant, and its owner did not know what to do. The food in his restaurant was cheap and good but nobody seemed to want to eat there.

  Then he did something that changed all that, and in a few weeks his restaurant was always full of men with their lady friends. Whenever a gentleman came in with a lady, a smiling waiter gave each of them a beautiful menu (菜單). The menus looked exactly the same on the outside, but there was an important difference inside. The menu that the waiter gave to the man gave the correct price for each dish and each bottle of wine while the menu that he gave to the lady gave a much higher price. So when the man calmly ordered dish after dish and wine after wine, the lady thought he was much more generous(大方的) than he really was.

True or False

1.The food in the White Rose Restaurant was poor and expensive at the first and became good and less expensive later.

2.The manager gave the man and the lady menus with different prices to attract(吸引) so many people.

3.According to this passage, when a man and a woman ate at the restaurant, the food was usually paid by the woman.

4.The White Rose Restaurant succeeded because women like their men friends to be generous.

5.People often came to eat at the restaurant were often husbands and wives.
