Many people feel out of place when dining simply because they don’t know how to follow table manners，especially if they have been invited to a nice place. Admittedly，it is difficult to learn every point of etiquette (礼仪) at a glance, but here are a few general pointers. 1.

Observe your host.

Follow their lead. 2.If you are the host，don’t panic. Ensure you read up on etiquette before taking on the role of hosting and operate within the rules so that you are easy to follow.

Wait for host to invite you to the table.

She may assign you to a seat. Stand behind the chair as the other guests get seated. 3.After you sit, pull your chair in to the table，without dragging it over the floor with a horrible noise.

Be polite.

Consider every action before you do it. 4.You must consciously stop from embarrassing yourself and your host. Take small bites； do not talk with food in your mouth； and do not place elbows on the table.

How to pass items.

When someone says，“Please pass the. . . (what you would like passed to you)，” reach for it only if you are the closest one to it. Take the item and place it next to your neighbor. 5. Don’t help yourself along the way, before the person who asked for it gets the chance. Wait politely until they have served themselves. Then ask for the bowl to be passed back to you.

A. When the host sits, take your seat.

As anybody with children knows, dining out with kids is an entirely different experience from dining out with friends. If the restaurant offers crayons (蜡笔), puzzles or toys of some sort, it takes a lot of the stress out of dining out with kids. Here, in no particular order, are our pick of top restaurants for kids.

The Olive Garden

The Olive Garden is a family favorite, especially because of the kids menu, crayons, and activity books. My daughter believes this famous Italian food chain has the “best pizza ever” on its kids menu. The kids also get to indulge in the famous Olive Garden bread --- a favorite for kids of all ages.

The Silver Diner

The Silver Diner, which has locations in New Jersey, Maryland and Virginia, gets a nod for featuring one of the most fun kids meal containers --- a heavy-duty paper car --- as well as old-fashioned, table-side jukebox selectors (点唱机选择器).The menu wins too, both for its breadth (范围) of choices, and for the number of them that are healthy.

Legal Sea Foods

The kids menu for popular seafood chain Legal Sea Foods is extensive (详尽的) and features the most choices from the sea of any kids menu we’ve seen. The original Boston Harborside restaurant has a small children’s menu, but its other locations all have 12 kid’s choices, including a pricy (昂贵的) One Pound Lobster (or 1/2 pound), Wood-Grilled Fish of the Day, and Popcorn Shrimp selections.

Ground Round

This restaurant chain was a favorite of children growing up in the 1970s and early 1980s, as it served popcorn and peanuts before the meal instead of bread, and let kids throw the peanut shells on the floor. There were also cartoons and silent movies shown during dinner. Ground Round has changed with the times, but they still have delectable (美味的) offerings for kids.

1.What makes the Silver Diner different from the other restaurants for kids ?

A. Its great pizza and variety of activity books.

B. Its fun kids meal containers and jukebox selectors.

C. The popcorn and peanuts served before the meal.

D. The way its menus change with the times.

2.Which of the following restaurants might interest those who like eating lobster?

How far would you be willing to go to satisfy your need to know? Far enough to find out your possibility of dying from a terrible disease? These days that’s more than an academic question, as Tracy Smith reports in our Cover Story.

There are now more than a thousand genetic tests, for everything from baldness to breast cancer, and the list is growing. Question is, do you really want to know what might eventually kill you? For instance, Nobel Prize-winning scientist James Watson, one of the first people to map their entire genetic makeup, is said to have asked not to be told if he were at a higher risk for Alzheimer’（老年痴呆症）.

　　　 “If I tell you that you have an increased risk of getting a terrible disease, that could weigh on your mind and make you anxious, through which you see the rest of your life as you wait for that disease to hit you. It could really mess you up.” said Dr. Robert Green, a Harvard geneticist.

“Every ache and pain,” Smith suggested, could be understood as “the beginning of the end.” “That’s right. If you ever worried you were at risk for Alzheimer’s disease, then every time you can’t find your car in the parking lot, you think the disease has started.”

Dr. Green has been thinking about this issue for years. He led a study of people who wanted to know if they were at a higher genetic risk for Alzheimer’s. It was thought that people who got bad news would, for lack of a better medical term, freak out. But Green and his team found that there was “no significant difference” between how people handled good news and possibly the worst news of their lives. In fact, most people think they can handle it. People who ask for the information usually can handle the information, good or bad, said Green.

1.The first paragraph is meant to__________.

A. ask some questions

B. introduce the topic

C. satisfy readers’ curiosity

D. describe an academic fact

2.Which of the following is true of James Watson？

A. He is strongly in favor of the present genetic tests.

B. He is more likely to suffer from Alzheimer’s disease.

C. He believes genetic mapping can help cure any disease.

D. He doesn’t want to know his chance of getting a disease.

3.According to Paragraphs 3 and 4, if a person is at a higher genetic risk, it is__________.

A. advisable not to let him know

B. impossible to hide his disease

C. better to inform him immediately

D. necessary to remove his anxiety

4.The underlined part “freak out” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to“_________”.

A. break down　　　　　　　 B. drop out

C. leave off　　　　　　 D. turn away

5.The study led by Dr. Green indicates that people__________.

prefer to hear good news

B. tend to find out the truth

C. can accept some bad news

D. have the right to be informed
