    Visiting a pub is one of Britain’s oldest forms of entertainment. The idea for the first public houses was brought to Britain thousands of years ago by the conquering Roman army. The first pubs served only wine, but after the discovery of hops (啤酒花) in the fourteenth century, pubs began to serve mainly beer, as they do today.

    Today, there are 61,000 pubs in the United Kingdom. One of the oldest, Fighting Cocks in St. Albans, Herts, is located in a building that dates back to the 11th century. Modern pubs are often owned by English breweries （啤酒厂） and serve only their owner’s products. British pubs are required to have a license, which is difficult to obtain, and operate between 11 a.m. and 11 p.m. every day except Sunday, when they must close at 10:30 p.m.

    The drinking age in Britain is eighteen, but fourteen-year-olds may enter a pub unaccompanied if they order a meal. Children may enter a pub with their parents until 9 p.m., which lets families enjoy reasonably priced pub meals together, and allows pubs to continue in their traditional roles as community centers.

    Customs in British pubs differ from those in American bars. In Britain, you must go to the bar to order drinks and food and pay for your purchase immediately, and there is no table service. Bartenders are called “landlords” and “barmaids” and they do not expect frequent tipping. To tip a landlord or barmaid, it is customary to tell him to “buy himself one”. He or she may or may not take you up on your offer. At the end of a visit, a polite customer will return his glass to the bar.

    58. Which of the following is forbidden in Britain?

    A. Children under 14 entering a pub with their parents.

    B. Young men over 14 eating in a pub by themselves.

    C. Children of about 15 drinking in a pub with adults.

    D. Young men at or older than 18 drinking beer in a pub.

    59. What can we entertain ourselves with at Fighting Cocks today?

    A. 1000-year-old hops      B. Mainly beer.          C. Italian food.          D. Just wine.

    60. We can infer from the last paragraph that             .

    A. services in British pubs are better than those in American bars

    B. British pubs and American bars are completely different

    C. in American bars you can pay the bill after the meal

    D. you have to give extra money to tip in British pubs

    61. This passage is mainly written to            .

    A. give us some information about British pubs  

    B. compare the British pubs and American bars

    C. tell us something about the history of British pubs

    D. let us know some rules in British pubs

    I made a promise to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.
    The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical passage about husbands and their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.
    And it did. On arriving at the beach cottage, I kissed Evelyn meeting me at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.” “Oh, Tom, you noticed”, she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled. After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.
    So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed. I made a new promise to keep on remembering to choose love.?
    There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.
    “What’s the matter?” I asked her.
    “Tom,” she said in a voice filled with distress, “I don’t?”
    “What do you mean?”
    “Well…that checkup I had several weeks ago…our doctor…did he tell you something about me? Tom, you’ve been so good to me…am I dying?”
    It took a moment for it all to be understood. Then I burst out laughing.
    “No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms. “You’re not dying; I’m just starting to live.”
    【小题1】From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage ______.

    A．with his familyB．with EvelynC．alone D．with his children
    【小题2】During the two weeks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife because ______.
    A．he was determined to be a good husband
    B．he had made a lot of money in his Wall Street firm
    C．she looked lovely in her new clothes
    D．the doctor said his wife was seriously ill
    【小题3】The author says, “There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment.” What does “one thing” refer to?
    A．He praised her sweater, which puzzled her.
    B．She insisted on visiting a museum, which he hated.
    C．He knew something about her illness but didn’t tell her.
    D．He was so good to her that she thought she must be dying.
