    What makes Americans spend nearly half their food dollars on meals away from home? The answers lie in the way Americans live today. During the first few decades of the twentieth century, canned and other convenience foods freed the family cook from full-time duty at the kitchen range. Then, in the 1940s, work in the wartime defense plants took more women out of the home than ever before, setting the pattern of the working wife and mother. Today about half of the country’s married women are employed outside the home. But, unless family members pitch in with food preparation, women are not fully liberated from that housework. Instead, many have become, in a sense, prisoners of the completely cooked convenience meals. It’s easier to pick up a bucket of fried chicken on the way home from work or take the family out for pizzas or burgers than to start opening cans or heating up frozen dinners after a long , hard day. Also, the rising divorce rate means that there are more single working parents with children to feed. And many young adults and elderly people, as well as unmarried and divorced mature people, live alone rather than as part of a family unit and don’t want to bother cooking for one.

    Fast food is appealing because it is fast, it doesn’t require any dressing up, it offers a “fun” break in the daily outline, and the outlay of money seems small. It can be eaten in the car--- sometimes picked up at a drive-in window without even getting out---or on the run. Even if it is brought home to eat, there will never be any dirty dishes to wash because of the handy disposable (一次性的) wrappings. Children, especially, love fast food because it’s finger food, no struggling with knives and forks, no annoying instructions from adults about table manner.

    Americans enjoy fast food mainly because __________.

       A. it can be eaten in the car

       B. it is much more tasty than home-made food

       C. one only uses his fingers while eating it

       D. it is time-saving and convenient

    It can be inferred that children __________.

       A. want to have more freedom at table

       B. never wash dishes after each meal

       C. are good at using forks and knives while eating

       D. take eating time as a fun break

    Many Americans are eating out and not cooking at home partially because __________.

       A. they want to make a change after eating the same food for years at home

       B. the food made outside home tastes better than food cooked at home

       C. many of them live alone and don’t like taking trouble to cook

       D. American women refuse to cook at home due to women’s liberation movement

    According to the text, a drive-in window is a __________.

       A. car window from which you can see the driver

       B. window in the restaurant from which you get your takeout in the car

       C. place where you check the mechanic condition of your car

       D. place where you return the used plates after eating

    Le Invitation: The first duty of the guest is to respond to the invitation within 48 hours. And no, the guest may not ask to bring a guest because the hostess has chosen her own—and where they will be seated.

           Le Gift: Flowers sent in advance are the preferred gift. They may also be sent afterwards with a thank-you note. It is considered very bad form to arrive with a gift or flowers in hand, therefore forcing the hostess to deal with finding a vase when she is too busy to do that. Though the French love wine, you must never bring a bottle to a dinner party. Why, it’s as if you feared your hosts would not have enough wine on hand, and that’s an insult（凌辱）. You may, however, offer a box of chocolates which the hostess will pass after dinner with coffee.

           Le Arrival: If an invitation is for eight o’ clock, the considerate guest arrives at 8:15. Guests who arrive exactly on time or ---how terrible!---early, are mere thoughtless lout（乡巴佬）who are not giving the hostess those last minutes she needs to deal with details. The “correct” guest arrives between 15 to 20 minutes after the hour because dinner will be served exactly 30 minutes past the time on the invitation.

           Le Table Manner: Don’t eat your bread before main course or hostess will fear you are ruining your appetite for what’s to come. And don’t pick up and pass the salt when asked. That’s right. Don’t, it’s considered bad luck. And you must eat everything you take from the serving dish lest you insult the hostess’ food.  Also, the French abhor waste.

    1．In which country, when you go to a dinner party , you are expected to do as what are required in the text_________.

           A．America              B．England              C．France              D．Spanish

    2．You’d better not pick up and pass the salt when asked．Because _________.

           A．it’s considered impolite

           B．people believe it can bring bad fortune

           C．it will destroy the dinner.

           D．you should ask the hostess’ permission before you do it.

    3．The underlined word “abhor” in the last paragraph can be replaced by ______.

           A．hate                B．ignore             C．admire            D．advocate

    4．Which of the following is true?

           A．The “correct” guest arrives between 15 to 20 minutes before the time on the invitation.

           B．Flowers are the preferred gift.

           C．A box of chocolates or a bottle of wine are good gifts.

           D．It’s better for the guest not to bring another guest to attend the party.
