Dear Jim,

I’d like to invite you for dinner in a Chinese restaurant in Los Angeles. I can imagine how surprising you are! In fact, I am there visiting my uncle, who happened to be working in the city at present.

The Chinese restaurant naming New Panda Buffet provides genuine Chinese food, where many diners have given 5-star reviews. It is located at 5120 Rodeo Rd, Los Angeles. Could you come at 6 p.m. on Friday ?

By the way, I will present you with a go set then. I really appreciate that you have done to help me with my English during the past two years. But you, I would not have made such a great progress in English.

Looking forward to you early reply!

Yours,

Li Hua

You're at dinner with your friends on Sunday and the waiter comes up to you and says, “Is this going to be on one check or?”

“Separate!” you all said, barely taking a breath to pause from your conversation.

And why would you? It's pretty usual to pay for your own meal, or to go Dutch.

But it wasn't always the custom to split the check when going out with friends. In fact, in early English society, it was seen as selfish to invite someone out to eat and not pay for their meal. The origins of the phrase "going Dutch" are a little complicated, but Steven Pincus, a historian from the University of Chicago who focuses on early modern Europe, helped us track the complex history of this idiom.

We have to take it back all the way to the 1600s. During the Anglo-Dutch Wars, there were multiple conflicts between the English and the Dutch over trade and naval power. That led to a rise in idioms from the English regarding their enemy, the Dutch: phrases like "Dutch courage," the false courage brought on by alcohol; or "Dutch reckoning," which is a ridiculously high bill on which you've likely been cheated. This was because the English saw the Dutch not only as a trading enemy,but also as a people with questionable morals. The English "claimed that the Dutch had been completely corrupted by their commitment to capitalism." (Funny how tides change, isn't it?)of course, as time changes, so does our sense of self. After all, who wants to pay for their friends' meals all the time? Maybe sometimes it's all right to do like the Dutch do.

1.What did people once do in English history if they dined out with friends?

A.They split the check. B.The inviter paid for the meal.

C.They paid for their meals in turn. D.one of the guests paid for the meal.

2.What does the author say about the idioms containing the word "Dutch”？

A.They show respect to the Dutch. B.They do harm to English language.

C.They are associated with money. D.They mean something dishonorable.

3.The purpose of the text is to explain

A.the English table manners B.the England and Dutch relationship

C.the origin of some English phrases D.the change in English history
