四．阅读理解 (30%) A

Some British and American people like to invite friends for a meal at home. You should not be upset（不安的）if your English friends don’t invite you home. It doesn’t mean they don’t like you.

Dinner parties usually start between 7 and 8 p.m. and end at about 11. Ask your hosts what time you should arrive. It’s polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a gift.

Usually the evening starts with drinks and snacks. If you want to be very polite, say how much you like the room, or the pictures on the wall. But remember－it’s not polite to ask how much things cost.

In many families, the husband sits at one of the table and the wife sits at the other end. They eat with their guests.

You’ll probably start the meal with soup or something small, then you’ll have meat or fish with vegetables, and then dessert followed by coffee. It’s polite to finish everything on your plate and to take more if you want it.

Did you enjoy the evening? Call your hosts the next day, or write them a short “thank you”letter. British and American people like to say “thank you, thank, thank you”all the time!

In England, afternoon tea, taken between four and five, is the most informal（非正式）meal of the day. If you are a friend of the family, you may drop in for tea without an invitation or telling that you are coming. Very often it is not served at a table. The members of the family and visitors take tea in the sitting-room. Each person has a cup and saucer（托盘）, a spoon and a small plate for bread-and-butter and cake. By the way, do not help yourself to cake first; bread-and-butter first, then cake if there is any. Another piece of advice: Do not put more than one piece of bread or cake on your plate at the same time.

There was once a man called Mr. Flowers, and flowers were his only joy in life. He spent all his spare time in one of his four glass-houses and grew flowers of every color, with long and difficult names, for competitions（比赛）. He tried to grow a rose of a new color to win the silver cup（银杯）for the Rose of the Year.

Mr. Flowers’ glass-houses were very close to a middle school. Boys of around thirteen years of age were often tempted(吸引) to throw a stone or two at one of Mr. Flowers’ glass-house. So Mr. Flowers did his best to be in or close by his glass houses at the beginning and end of the school day.

But it was not always possible to be on watch at those times. Mr. Flowers had tried in many ways to protect his glass, but nothing had been useful. He had been to school to report to the headmaster; but this had not done any good. He had tried to drive away the boys that threw stones into his garden; but the boys could run faster than he could, and they laughed at him from far away. He had even picked up all the stones that he could find around his garden, so that the boys would have nothing to throw; but they soon found others.

At last Mr. Flowers had a good idea. He put up a large notice made of good, strong wood, some metres away from the glass-houses. On it he had written the words, DO NOT THROW STONE AT THIS NOTICE. After this, Mr. Flowers had no further trouble: the boys were much more tempted（吸引）to throw stones at the notice than at the glass-houses.

（ ）11. It was Mr. Flowers’ hope to_______.

A. build glass-houses in his spare time B. grow the rose of the Year in a silver cup

C. win a silver cup for growing a rose of a new color D. grow a rose with the longest name

C. where he could not be seen by the boys passing

D. in his spare time at the beginning and end of the school day
