    As we all know British love queues, but there is no real line-up(队列) in a bar - and the bar workers
do know whose turn it is. But there still are some rules. For example, don’t speak loudly, or snap your
fingers. And whatever you do, please don’t ring the bell hanging behind the counter(柜台)-this is used
by the boss to tell people it’s closing time. Remember if you look too pleased and happy, the bar workers
will think they have served you.
    In a British bar always say "please" and try to remember the things that the British bar workers hate.
For example, they don’t like people to keep others waiting when they can’t decide what to drink. They
don't
like people standing against the bar when there are a lot of customers waiting for service.
    One tourist who spent six months interviewing 50 bosses and more than 1,000 customers said, "I can
not understand how the British are able to buy themselves a drink. But they do, and if you follow these
rules you should be able to do so, too."
    Talking of tips(小费), you should never offer the bar workers a cash gratuity(现金小费). The correct behavior is to invite them to drink something. If so, they will think that their work is worthy. A cash gratuity is unfriendly and impolite.

1. The bell behind the counter is used for _________.

A. asking the waiters for help
B. attracting people
C. showing the price of the drinks
D. telling people the closing time

2. The bar workers will think _________ if you look very excited.

A. you have been served
B. you are very friendly
C. you need more drinks
D. you are very pleased with their drinks

3. If you want to thank the bar workers, what should you do?

A. Give them a cash gratuity.
B. Give them something to drink.
C. Invite them to your family.
D. Make friends with them.

4. What is the Chinese meaning of the underlined word "customers"?

A. 服务员
B. 顾客
C. 经理
D. 病人

5. What is the passage mainly about?

A. The difference between a British bar and a Chinese bar.
B. The workers in a British bar.
C. Manners in a British bar.
D. How to give tips.

a table with people you don't know, it's impolite to smoke without first asking if it will disturb (打扰) them.

an especially big noon meal.
    Tips are not usually added to the 'check (账单). They are not included in the price of the meal,

during the holiday to get part-time .jobs.  It is quite easy to find a part-time job at Christmas. Students
