Unit 15

　What do people eat?

Passage 1

　　阅读理解一

　　In the USA, there are many types of restaurants. Fast food restaurants are very famous. You can find McDonalds and Kentucky Fried Chicken in many countries around the world. You look at a menu above the counter, and say what youd like to eat. You pay the person who serves you. You take your food and sit down or take it away. Theres no need to leave a tip.

　　In a coffee shop you sit at the counter or at a table. You dont wait for the waitress to show youswheresto sit. She usually brings you coffee when you sit down. You tell her what youd like to eat and she brings it to you. You pay the cashier as you leave. A dinner is like a coffee shop but usually looks like a railway carriage.

　　In a family restaurant the atmosphere is casual, but the waitress shows youswheresto sit. Often the waitress tells you her name, but you dont need to tell her yours. If you dont eat everything, your waitress gives you a doggy bag to take your food home. You add an extra fifteen per cent to the bill as a tip.

　　In top class restaurants, you need a reservation and you need to arrive on time. The waiter shows youswheresto sit. If you have wine, he may ask you to taste it. You can only refuse it if it tastes bad, not if you dont like it. When you get your bill, check it and then add fifteen to twenty per cent to it as a tip for the waiter.

　Passage 2

　　阅读理解二

　　Good Food

　　My wife and I sometimes go to a nice restaurant to eat. My wifes mother lives with us and she stays with the children. This makes it very easy for us to go out for the evening.

　　Last week we went to the restaurant in a new hotel. We had a wonderful meal. First, we had soup and a salad. Then Helen, my wife, had lamb chops with peas and carrots, and I had a medium steak with mashed potatoes and plenty of gravy. For dessert, I had some ice cream and Helen had fresh fruit. We had several cups of coffee after we finished eating. The food was delicious, the portions were generous, and it wasnt too expensive.

　　Our children don't like to eat in restaurants because they have to sit and be quiet for a long time. They would rather go to their grandmothers farm. Their grandmother-my mother-pr-epares everything they like. She usually has fried chicken, corn, and hot biscuits with honey. She always serves plenty of chocolate icecream and cake for dessert.

　　I'm always surprised that my father doesn't weigh a lot more when I see how much he eats. But he works very hard on the farm from about 5 oclock in the morning until it gets dark in the evening.

　　When my parents visit us in the city, we usually take them to a restaurant. I know they enjoy it, but my father always eats something else after he gets home. The portions may be generous in the restaurant, but they are still not large enough for a hungry farmer.
