A

Be sure to book a table if the restaurant you choose is an expensive or a popular one. You will feel embarrassed to show up without booking and having to wait for a table, leaving very bad impression on your friend, especially your girl friend. Also, be sure to check to see if you need to be properly dressed and tell your friend ahead of time what to wear.

When your food arrives, proper dining manners make you eat at a right pace so that you have time to talk. A good measure of how fast you should eat is to count 10 seconds between each mouthful and it’s bad manners if you eat too fast and then spend the rest of the time watching your friend eat.

Don’t make noise when having soup and chewing, or chew with your mouth open. Your napkin (餐巾) should be placed on your lap at all times. Don’t put it in any other place. If you have to get up, place it neatly on your seat.

When eating, put your fork straight in your mouth. Don’t place your fork in the side of your mouth as it increases the chances of dropping your food, which could be very embarrassing. If you get food stuck in your mouth, don’t pick it out with your fingers or fork at the table. Excuse yourself and go to the restroom and get it out with a toothpick.

When dining, keep your eyes on your friend at all times and try to smile between mouthfuls. Sometimes, you should make an effort to show some interest and ask questions like, “How do you like the beef?” If she needs, you are the one who is supposed to flag down the waiter by a gentle wave of the hand until someone notices you.

A．you book a table beforehand

LONDON(Reuters)- British Government anti-smoking posters featuring men and women with fish hooks（钓鱼钩）through their mouths attracted one of the highest numbers of complaints the advertising standards watchdog has ever received. Nearly 800 complaints were made about a series of posters, TV, newspaper and Internet ads which many felt were offensive and distressing, particularly to children.

It was the highest number of complaints received by the Advertising Standards Authority（ASA）since a KFC ad in June 2005 which featured people singing with their mouths full, which reached the highest ever number with 1,671.

“The average smoker needs over five thousand cigarettes a year. Get unhooked,” the posters reaD． The Department of Health had commissioned（授权）the anti-smoking ads in an attempt to shock smokers into breaking the habit.

The government said it was believed people would not be seriously offended by the ads, particularly because they aimed to protect people from the damaging effects of smoking. It had taken measures to ensure the posters would not be placed near schools. Nevertheless, 152 people said the posters had upset their children. The ASA upheld（支持）those complaints, saying the posters could easily be seen by children. It did not, however, consider the ads went against its decency code（得体原则）.

In a series of TV ads, run by the government, along the “hooked” theme, men and women were shown being dragged along the floor with a hook inside their cheeks. The ASA received 103 received 103 complaints from people saying these ads upset children. The Department of Health had improved the images by ensuring that the hooks were not shown to pierce（穿透）people’s skin, and around children’s programmers, the ads had been cleared by the Broadcast Advertising Clearance Center. 65．The passage mainly talks about .

Last Sept.11 was an important day too. After unknown gunmen attacked aid workers from the Nobel Prize-winning Medicines sans Frontiers at a roadblock on that day, most of the international aid groups helping Darfur’s 6 million people stopped using the roads. On Dec.18, unknown gunmen attacked the southern town of GereidA．More than 70 aid workers then pulled out of the refugee (难民) camp there—Darfur’s largest, with 130,000 people—leaving only 10 Red Cross employees behinD． Yet at the time no one said what had really caused the sudden pullbacks.

Damaging has become surprisingly common in Darfur, where 200,000 Africans have been killed and a third of the population have been sent fleeing into camps in three years of war. But the attacks on international aid workers suggested a dramatic and dangerous start—to attack on purpose those helping to keep Darfur’s millions of refugee alive. A dozen people from foreign NGOs (non-governmental organizations) have been killed in just the past six months, more than previous years. There are about 14,000 aid workers in Darfur now, the majority of them Sudanese, working for foreign NGOs and U.N. agencies and delivering $1 billion a year in aid. Just a few more terrible attacks could throw that into jeopardy. Last week 14 U.N. offices working in Darfur made a clear warning that “the humanitarian (人道主义) organization cannot possibly make certain the survival of the population in Darfur if aid workers don’t feel safe.”

69．What made Sept. 11 an important day according to the passage?

A．Two World Trade Center buildings were destroyed in the USA. B．International aid groups stopped their help to Darfur. C．A fight happened between the international aid workers and some unknown gunmen

in Darfur.

D． International aid workers were attacked in Darfur. 70．Which of the following shows a picture of Darfur?

A．Darfur has been in war since the last Sept. 11.

B．Many people in Darfur are homeless because of the war.

C．Darfur will not get help from organizations including the UN. D．International aid groups have never been attacked before.

71．The underlined word “jeopardy” in the last paragraph most probably means __________.

A．light B．practice C．danger D． effect
