    If you order alcohol from Cuisine Courier, will be required. A. some cash B. a tip C. a credit card D. the license for drinking (C) For years, doctors have been recommending patients to skip the beef and order the salmon now and then. Yet Americans still consume seven times as much red meat as fish. Only about one in five eats the recommended two servings of seafood per week. Why don’t we take the plunge more often? By now, you've heard that seafood offers far-ranging health benefits, but you’ve also heard that some fish contain high levels of toxins, leaving you to wonder if all the white meat at your grocer's seafood counter is truly safe. So what is fish-miracle food or health threat? If you eat a modest amount of fish, you dramatically decrease your risk of dying from a heart attack. Findings from 30 large studies conducted around the world show that people who consume just one or two servings of fish per week lower their risk of a fatal heart attack by an average of 36 percent. But it's not just your heart that benefits when you dine on sea fare. Your brain does too. Fish lovers suffer fewer strokes, cutting their risk by 40 percent in some studies. And mounting evidence suggests that omega-3 fatty acids help the brain with its normal, day-to-day function. A 2007 study of nearly 12,000 pregnant women found that children born to mothers who ate more than 12 ounces of seafood per week during pregnancy scored six points higher on tests of IQ than kids born to mothers who had other foods on the menu. As for adults, a recent Swedish study found that young men who ate fish more than once a week scored nearly 11 percent higher on IQ tests than males who rarely ate seafood. And in later years, fish eaters appear to be less likely to develop dementia. And more advantages may be reported in years to come: Scientists are studying whether fish helps prevent or treat other disorders. 【查看更多】

    　　If you are ever lucky to be invited to a formal dinner party in Paris, remember that the French have their own way of doing things, and that even your finest manners may not be “correct” by French custom. For example, if you think showing up promptly at the time given on the invitation, armed with gifts of wine and roses, complimenting your hostess on her cooking, laughing heartily at the host's jokes and then leaping up to help the hostess will make you the perfect guest, think again.

    　　Here Madame Nora Chabal, the marketing director of the Ritz Hotel in paris, explained how it works.

    　　The first duty of the guest is to respond to the invitation within 48 hours. And, the guest may not ask to bring a guest because the hostess has chosen her own.

    　　Flowers sent in advance are the preferred gift. They may also be sent afterwards with a thank-you note. It is considered a very bad form to arrive with s gift of flowers in hand there by forcing the hostess to deal with finding a vase when she is too busy to do that. See, that's the logic! The type of flowers sent has a code of its own, too. One must never send chrysanthemums because they are considered too humble a flower for occasion. Carnations are considered bad luck, and calla lilies are too reminiscent（令人联想）of funerals（葬礼）. A bouquet of red roses is a declaration of romantic intent. Don't send those unless you mean it, and never to a married hostess. And 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 land, and that's an insult. You may, however, offer a box of chocolates which the hostess will pass after dinner with coffee.

    　　If an invitation is for eight o'clock, the considerate guest arrives at 8:15. Guests who arrive exactly on time or early are mere thoughtless ones who are not giving the hostess those last few minutes she needs to deal with details and

    crises, 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.

    (1) Which of the following statements is right according to the French custom?

    [　　]

    A．When you receive an invitation, reply to it within two days. You'd better send flowers in advance.

    B．Arrive exactly on time at the dinner party.

    C．Bring a bottle of good wine to the dinner party.

    D．Telephone to ask if you could bring a good friend to the party.

    (2) Which of the following is right about sending flowers?

    [　　]

    A．If someone is dead, send chrysanthemums or calla lilies.

    B．If someone is ill in hospital, send carnations.

    C．If you are invited to a dinner party, send red roses to the hostess.

    D．If you are in love with someone, send red roses.

    (3) If you are in love with someone, send red roses, what should you do?

    [　　]

    A．Bring a bouquet of flowers when you go to the party.

    B．Send a bouquet of flowers afterwards with a thank-you note.

    C．Bring a bottle of wine instead of a bouquet of flowers.

    D．The hostess will never mind of you send flower or not.

    (4) What is the passage mainly about?

    [　　]

    A．How to hold a dinner party.

    B．How to send flowers.

    C．Good manners at a French dinner party.

    D．Different countries have different manners.

    　　Now Rain has won awards with his music．His CDs have sold millions and he has acted in TV shows．Rain doesn't want to sing forever, though．He dreams of doing a different job．“When I stop singing, I'd like to design clothes．Being a designer is my childhood(童年)dream,” he said．
