Part III  Reading Comprehension
Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

1.In the U S, people like waiting for a table than sitting with people they don"t know. This means a hostess may not seat a small group even if a large one is available. If you are sitting at a table with people you don"t know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without asking first 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 (免費(fèi)再加).
  Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and business times for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. In large cities, especially, stores may be open 24 hours a day.
  Servings (上的飯菜量) in restaurants are 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" (“狗食袋”，即打包袋兒). 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 cheek. They are not included in the price of the meal. A tip of about 15% is often expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave.

  Rowland Hill was a school teacher in England. He was the first to think of using stamps in 1850s. He thought it would be much easier for people to use stamps. People could go to the post office to buy stamps and put them on envelopes before they sent the letters. The post office could just put seals (郵戳). on the stamps so that people could not use the stamps again. In this way, the post office did not need to send post men to get postage. It only needed fewer postmen to send letters.
