An important question about eating out is who pays for the meal. If a friend of yours asks you to have lunch with him. You may say something like this, “I’m afraid it’ll have to be some place cheap, as I have very little money.” The other person may say, “OK, I’ll meet you at McDonald’s.” This means that two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also say, “Oh, no. I want to take you to lunch at Johnson’s”, or “I want you to try the steak(牛排) there. It’s great.” This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards this person, you can go with him and you needn’t pay for the meal. You may just say, “Thank you. That would be very nice.”
American customs about who pays for dates(約會) are much the same as in other parts of the world. In the old days, American women wanted men to pay for all the meals. But, today, a university girl or a woman in the business world will usually pay her own way during the day. If a man asks her to dinner or a dance outside the working hours, it means “come as my guest”. So as you can see, it is a polite thing to make the question clear at the very beginning.
In the old days _______ often paid for all the meals.
A. women B. men
C. university students D. businessmen
“To go Dutch” means to _______.
A. go to play outside B. eat out
C. pay for oneself D. go to a cheaper eating place
“McDonald’s” here means _______.
A. a tea house B. a gate
C. an office D. an eating place
If you feel friendly to the person, _______.
A. you should pay for him B. you needn’t pay for him
C. you can accept his invitation D. you can’t accept his invitation
We’d better know who will pay for the meal _______.
A. at the beginning B. at the end
C. in the middle of the meal D. after drinking

When I first got an email account ten years ago, I received communications only from family, friends, and colleagues. Now it seems that every time I check my e-mail, I have an endless series of advertisement and other correspondence that do not interest the at all. If we want e-mail to continue to be useful, we need special laws that make spamming(發(fā)送垃圾郵件) a crime.
If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam, the problem will certainly get much worse. Computer programs allow spammers to spend hundreds of millions of e-mails almost instantly. As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products, individual e-mail boxes are often flooded with spam e-mails. Would people continue to use e-mail if they had to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time?
This problem is troubling for individuals and companies as well. Many spam emails contain computer viruses that can shut down the entire network of a company. Companies rely on e-mail on for their employees to communicate with each other. Spam frequently causes failures in their local communications networks, and their employees are thus unable to communicate effectively. Such a situation results in a loss of productivity and requires companies to repeatedly repair their networks. These computer problems raise production costs of companies, which are, in the end, passed on to the consumer.
For these reasons, I believe that lawmakers need to legislate (立法) against spam. Spammers should be fined, and perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people. E-mail is a tool which helps people all over the world to communicate conveniently, but spam is destroying this convenience.
1.What does the underlined word “correspondence” in the Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.messages |
B.ideas |
C.connections |
D.programs |
2.According to the text, what is the major cause of the flooding spam?
A.Companies rely on e-mail for communications. |
B.More people in the world communicate by e-mail. |
C.Many computer viruses contain spam e-mail. |
D.More advertisers begin to promote sales through spam. |
3.According to Paragraph 3,who is the final victim of spam?
A.The business |
B.The advertiser |
C.The employee |
D.The consumer |
4.What is the purpose of the text?
A.To inform |
B.To educate |
C.To persuade |
D.To instruct |

Until recently, women in advertisements wore one of three things — an apron, an attractive dress or a frown. Although that is now changing, many women still feel angry about offending advertisements. “This ad degrades women.” they protested(抗議).Why does this sort of advertising exist? How can advertisers and ad agencies still produce, sometimes, after months of research, advertising that offends the consumer?
The ASA, the body which deals with complaints about print media, is carrying out research into how women feel about the way they are pictured in advertisements. Its conclusions are likely to be what the advertising industry already knows: although women are often annoyed by the ads, few feel strong enough to complain.
Women are not the only victims of poor and boring stereotypes(老套)— in many TV commercials men are seen either as useless, childish fools who are unable to perform the simplest household tasks, or as inconsiderate fellows, always on the lookout for an escape to the pub. But it is women who seem to suffer more from the industry’s inability to put people into an authentic present-day situation. Yet according to Emma Bennett, director of a London advertising agency, women are not aggressive or extremely angry about those stereotypes and sexist (歧視婦女)advertising. “They just find it annoying or tiresome.”
She says that it is not advertising’s use of the housewife role that bothers women, but the way in which it is handled. “The most important thing is the advertisement’s tone of voice. Women hate being insincerely praised or given desperately down-to-earth common-sense advice.”
In the end, the responsibility for good advertising must be shared between the advertiser, the advertising agency and the consumer. Advertising does not set trends but it reflects them. It is up to the consumer to tell advertisers where they fail, and the process of change will remain slow until people on the receiving end take the business seriously and make their –feelings known.
1.Despite recent changes in attitudes, some advertisements still fail to .
A.change women’s opinions of themselves |
B.show any understanding of consumers’ feelings |
C.persuade the public to buy certain products |
D.meet the needs of the advertising industry |
2.According to the writer, the commonest fault of present-day advertising is to .
A.condemn the role of the housewife |
B.ignore protests about advertisements |
C.present a misleading image of women |
D.picture the activities of men wrongly |
3.Emma Bennett suggests that advertisement ought to .
A.give further emphasis to practical advice |
B.change their style rather than their content |
C.use male images instead of female ones |
D.sing higher praise for women than before |
4.We can learn from the passage that advertising industry should .
A.take its job more eagerly |
B.do more pioneering work |
C.take notice of the public opinion |
D.concentrate on the products advertised |
