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 are much the same as 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. where to eat out

2.If you have little money, _____ .

A. you’ll have a cheap meal

閱讀表達

閱讀短文,完成下列各題。

The human brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms, but it can hold much more information than most computers. However, there is another difference between humans and computers. Computers don't forget information they are given, but humans often do. No one remembers everything, and luckily we don't usually have to. But everyone can improve their memory if they want to. Here are some suggestions about how to improve your memory.

◆Try to use new information immediately. For example, if you meet someone who says "Hi! I'm Carlos," don't just say "Hello." Repeat the person's name. Say "Hello, Carlos."

◆Break a big number into smaller parts. For example, it's difficult to memorize 109244153, but if you break it into three parts—109/244/153—it becomes easier.

◆Write out what you need to remember over and over again. This will help you keep it in mind longer, especially for memorizing formulas (公式) or facts.

◆Always review information. 2 If you bring what you've learned back to your mind, they become easier to remember. For example, before you go to sleep, it’s a good idea to review the new things you learned that day.

◆Discuss with a friend. It is always much easier to remember things through discussions. You can have a discussion about what's right and what's wrong, and it will lead to the right answer.

◆Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory. You can always do something to help improve your memory. And everyone's memory gets better if they use it often enough.

All of the suggestions are helpful. If you follow them, you are certain to improve your memory.

1.What’s the difference between humans and computers?

2. 將劃線句子譯成漢語。

3.在文中找出與Don’t tell yourself that you can’t remember anything very well. 意思相同或相近的句子。

4.How many suggestions are mentioned in the passage?

5. 自己寫出或在文中找出最能表達該短文主題的短語或句子。
