    B

    On one of her trips to New York several years ago, Eudora Welty decided to take a couple of New York friends out to dinner. They settled in at a comfortable East Side cafe and within minutes, another customer was approaching their table.

    ＂Hey, aren’t you from Mississippi?＂ the elegant, white-haired writer remembered being asked by the stranger. ＂I’m from Mississippi too.＂

    Without a second thought, the woman joined the Welty party. When her dinner partner showed up, she also pulled up a chair.

    ＂They began telling me all the news of Mississippi,＂ Welty said. ＂I didn’t know what my New York friends were thinking.＂

    Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarer than sunshine. By the time the group got up to leave, it was pouring outside. Welty’s new friends immediately sent a waiter to find a cab. Heading back downtown toward her hotel, her big-city friends were amazed at the turn of events that had changed their Big Apple dinner into a Mississippi.

    ＂My friends said: ‘Now we believe your stories,’＂ Welty added. ＂And I said: ‘Now you know. These are the people that make me write them.’＂

    Sitting on a sofa in her room, Welty, a slim figure in a simple gray dress, looked pleased with this explanation.

    ＂I don’t make them up,＂ she said of the characters in her fiction these last 50 or so years. ＂I don’t have to.＂

    Beauticians, bartenders, piano players and people with purple hats, Welty’s people come from afternoons spent visiting with old friends, from walks through the streets of her native Jackson, Miss., from conversations overheard on a bus. It annoys Welty that, at 78, her left ear has now given out. Sometimes, sitting on a bus or a train, she hears only a fragment(片段) of a particularly interesting story.

    1.What happened when Welty was with her friends at the cafe?

    A. Two strangers joined her.

    B. Her childhood friends came in.

    C. A heavy rain ruined the dinner.

    D. Some people held a party there.

    2. The underlined word ＂them＂ in Paragraph 6 refers to Welty’s.

    A. readers B. parties C. friends D. stories

    3.What can we learn about the characters in Welty’s fiction?

    A. They live in big cities.

    B. They are mostly women.

    C. They come from real life.

    D. They are pleasure seekers.

    Etiquette,or good manners,used to be the glue that held society together.1.Sadly,these days it has mostly gone by the wayside.This list is several best rules of etiquette that have now disappeared.

    Opening the Door

    In days gone by,a gentleman would always open doors for ladies.2.This has now almost entirely disappeared and it is not entirely the fault of the men.I have seen women laugh at men for opening a door for them.They seem to be confusing manners with chauvinism（大男子主义）.

    Writing Thank-You Notes

    In days gone by,whenever a person received a gift,they would write a thank-you note as soon as possible.3. Parents would sit children down after a birthday or Christmas and coach them in their first thank-you note.It is a shame that gift giving has now become a virtual obligation and the idea of a thank-you note would be laughed at.

    4.

    We seem to have completely lost the concept of correct timing when it comes to parties these days.5.After all,a party normally has a guest of honor-this is usually the oldest woman present.It was considered extremely rude in the past to leave a party before the guest of honor-and once the guest of honor left,it was a signal to all that they should begin their own preparations to leave.

    A.Arriving on Time.

    B.Leaving at the Right Time.

    C.People leave with various excuses.

    D.It enabled people to get on well with each other.

    E.This rule was true even if the giver was a relative.

    F.It could be the lady they were driving,or a stranger.

    G.We've thrown away the concept of a guest of honor at will.
