Do
you like to eat out? Do you like to eat quickly?
Do you like inexpensive food?
Some
people
go
to
fast-food
restaurants
for
these
reasons.
In
the
past,
people
usually
went to
diners
(小餐馆)
for these
reasons. In fact, many people in the States still
go to
diners today for the same
reasons.
A man named Walter Scott had the first
“
diner
”
in 1872. It wasn
’
t a real
diner.
It was only a food cart. People
on the street walked up to the cart to buy food.
These
carts
served late-night workers who wanted a cup of
coffee and a late-night meal. The meal
was a
sandwich
or
boiled
eggs.
In
1887, Samuel Jones
built
the
first
diner
big
enough to allow the customers to come
inside. However, they did not sit down. Later,
people
built diners with counters and
stools, and people sat down while they ate.
Before long, many diners stayed open around the
clock. In other words, people were
able
to eat in diner at any time. Diners changed in
other ways, too. The original
menu
of sandwiches and coffee
became bigger. It included soup, favorite dishes,
and a breakfast
menu.
In
addition,
diners
soon
became
permanent
buildings.
They
were
no
longer
carts on
wheels.
Diners
today
look
similar
to
the
diners
of
the
early
1900s.
They
are
usually
buildings
with large
windows. Inside, the diners have shining counters
with
stools,
booths,
and tables and chairs.
People can eat all three meals in a modern diner.
Today,
many
people
eat
in
fast-food
restaurants
such
as
McDonald
’
s
and
Burger
King.
However, the diner remains an American
tradition, and thousands of people still enjoy
eating there. It was
popular a century ago, and it is still popular
today.
1. A man named Walter
Scott had the first
“
diner
p>
”
in 1872. Why is the word
“
diner
”
in
quotation marks(
引号
)
?
A) Because it is spelled differently
from
“
dinner
”
.
B)
Because the first diner was not what it is
now.
C) Because
diner was a new word.
D) Because it is a special kind of
restaurant
2. What meals did
the first diner serve?
A) Only breakfast.
B) Only lunch.
C) Only night-
meals.
D) All of
the above.
3. According to

two ways

five ways
4. Which of the
following is NOT true according to the
passage?
A)
Diners existed before a fast-food
restaurant.
B) The menu included more
food than sandwiches and coffee.
C) Burger King is a fast-
food restaurant.
D) Sandwiches became bigger.
5. The main idea of the passage is that
______________.
A) the diner is a traditional, popular
place to eat in the United States
B)
Samuel
Johns
built
the
first
diner
big
enough
to
allow
the
customers
to
come
inside
C) American diners serve
many types of food 24 hours a day to their
customers
D)
diners are different from fast-food restaurants in

In the United States, it
is not customary to telephone someone very early
in the
morning
.
If you telephone him early in the day, while he is
shaving or having breakfast,
the time of the call shows that the
matter is very important and requires immediate
attention
.
The
same meaning is attached to telephone calls
made
after
11:
00pm
.
If
someone
reeives
a
call
during
sleeping
hours,
he
assumes
it
ˊ
s
a
matter
of
life
or
death
.
The
time chosen for the call communicates
its importance
.
In
social
life,
time
plays a
very important part
.
In the U. S. A
.
guests tend to feel they are not highly
regarded if the invitation to a dinner
party
is
extended
only
three
or
four
days
before the party
date
.
But it is not true in
all countries
.
In other
areas of the world,
it may be
considered foolish to make an appointment too
far
in
ad-
vance
because
plans which are made for a date more
than a week away tend to be
forgotten
.
The meaning
of time differs in different
parts
of
the
world
.
Thus,
misunderstandings
arise
between
people from different cultures that treat time
differently
.
Promptness is
valued
high-ly in American life, for
example
.
If
people
are
not
prompt,
they
may
be
regarded
as impolite or not fully
responsible
.
In the U. S. no
one would think of keeping
a business
associate waiting for an hour, it would be too
impolite
.
A
person
who
is 5
minutes late, will say a few words of explanation,
though perhaps he will not complete
the
sentence
.

With the
steady increase in the amount of leisure time that
people enjoy today, the
importance of
businesses that deal with leisure products and
services is also steadily
increasing. Among them, tourist
industry is one of the biggest industries of this
kind.
Providing transportation and
accommodations for
tourists
—
and
guides,
brochures,
souvenirs
—
is one
of the
major
industries
in many countries.
Since
people
are now
having
longer
vacations
and
are
more
and
more
interested
in
seeing
other
parts
of
the
world, this business will no doubt
continue to grow.
Another industry obviously
devoted to leisure is entertainment. Movies, TV
shows,
concerts and plays are usually
intended for our leisure. The same can
be
said
of
most
books,
except textbooks. Professional sports make money
because people pay to watch them
in
their free time. This
list
could
be
greatly
extended.
But
even
among
these
industries, we have
mentioned only part of the picture. The people who
make the TV sets
and build
the
theatres
and
tourist
hotels
are
as
much a
part
of
the
leisure
industry
as the singers or the hotel
clerks.
1. What makes
leisure business important according to the
passage?
A)
People
’
s leisure time is
increasing.
B)
More people are interested in seeing other parts
of the world.
C)
Improved transportation and accommodation
conditions.
D)
Longer vacations are offered than
before.
2. According to the
passage, the reason that tourist industry will
continue to develop is
_____.
A) transportation is more
convenient
B)
accommodation is more comfortable
