Bill Gates has a nice house on a hill by Lake Washington. Inside the house there are seven bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, six kitchens and six fireplaces. It even has a theatre, a library, an exercise room and a swimming pool. You can say the house is very big. However, it doesn’t look so big, because a large part of it is in the hills.
The house is famous for many reasons. One is its large size, and another is its amazing electronic systems (電子系統(tǒng)). Before a visitor goes into the house, he/she gets a chip (芯片) at the gate. The chip sends information about the visitor to the electronic systems in the house. When the visitor goes into the house, lights are on automatically (自動地). When the visitor goes into a room, the temperature (溫度) will change to make the visitor comfortable. When the visitor goes from one room to another, he/she can hear music.
Bill Gates began to build his house in 1990. It took him about 7 years to build it.

Do you like dogs? Do you know the following things about dogs?
The first pet dog
Dogs are meat-eating animals. They belonged to the family of wolves (狼) a long time ago. About 15,000 years ago, people started keeping wolves for hunting (狩獵). Over the time, the wolves began to look like dogs and they became people’s pets.
What a dog looks like
Dogs come in different sizes, colors and shapes, but they’re the same in some ways. All kinds of dogs have a set of forty-two strong teeth for eating. They have sharp claws (利爪) at the end of their feet for digging up soil (挖土) and holding onto the ground when they walk. They have very good eyesight. They also have high ability (能力) to hear and smell.
How a dog grows
A mother dog gives birth to one to twelve babies at a time. New-born baby dogs cannot see or hear until they are two weeks old. The mother dog gives the baby dogs milk. When they are four weeks old, they start eating soft food. When they’re eight weeks, the baby dogs have very strong legs and they can go for long walks.
How to read a dog’s feelings
Dogs act differently when they have different feelings. When a dog is angry, it opens its mouth and shows its teeth. When a dog is frightened, it lowers its ears and holds its tail (尾巴) between its legs. A happy dog always wags (搖擺) its tail.

In the US, people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don’t know. If you are sitting at a table with people you don’t know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without asking if it will disturb them.
At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water (自來水) before you order. You may find bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill（續(xù)杯）.
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.
Serving (一份) in restaurants is often large, too large for many people. 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 it on the table when you leave. In some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change.
小題1:Which of the following statements is true?
A．American people like sitting with people they don’t know.
B．You may find bread and coffee is free.
C．American people never sit with people they don’t know.
D．American people won’t light a cigarette if the people who sit at the same table mind their smoking.
小題2: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 waiter to keep the food for them.
小題3:What can you learn about “tips” according to the passage?
A．Customers often add tips to their check.
B．Tips are supposed to be left on the table when customers leave.
C．People don’t need to pay tips.
D．The price of the meal usually includes the tip.
