    As we all know British love queues, but there is no real line-up(队列) in a bar - and the bar workers
do know whose turn it is. But there still are some rules. For example, don’t speak loudly, or snap your
fingers. And whatever you do, please don’t ring the bell hanging behind the counter(柜台)-this is used
by the boss to tell people it’s closing time. Remember if you look too pleased and happy, the bar workers
will think they have served you.
    In a British bar always say "please" and try to remember the things that the British bar workers hate.
For example, they don’t like people to keep others waiting when they can’t decide what to drink. They
don't
like people standing against the bar when there are a lot of customers waiting for service.
    One tourist who spent six months interviewing 50 bosses and more than 1,000 customers said, "I can
not understand how the British are able to buy themselves a drink. But they do, and if you follow these
rules you should be able to do so, too."
    Talking of tips(小费), you should never offer the bar workers a cash gratuity(现金小费). The correct behavior is to invite them to drink something. If so, they will think that their work is worthy. A cash gratuity is unfriendly and impolite.
1. The bell behind the counter is used for _________.
A. asking the waiters for help
B. attracting people
C. showing the price of the drinks
D. telling people the closing time
2. The bar workers will think _________ if you look very excited.  
A. you have been served
B. you are very friendly  
C. you need more drinks
D. you are very pleased with their drinks
3. If you want to thank the bar workers, what should you do? 
A. Give them a cash gratuity.
B. Give them something to drink.
C. Invite them to your family.
D. Make friends with them.
4. What is the Chinese meaning of the underlined word "customers"? 
A. 服务员        
B. 顾客
C. 经理
D. 病人
5. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The difference between a British bar and a Chinese bar.
B. The workers in a British bar.
C. Manners in a British bar.
D. How to give tips.

 buildings and forts. You feel you are back in the old days. Of course, some of the buildings are now in
 ruins. The church of St. Paul has only the front wall with steps leading up to it. But it is still interesting to
 see.

     Have you ever studied abroad? Maybe it is an amazing experience, especially when you come to
Australia as an foreign high school student. You can have a lot of fun there, especially on holidays.
     There are many festivals in Australia. The most important one is Christmas. Each year, the summer
holidays at every high school last about two months from the beginning. of December to February, which
covers the Christmas time.  Since it is a long holiday, most foreign students in Australia love to fly back to
their home countries spend the time with their families and friends, but a few students still stay in Australia
during the holiday to get part-time .jobs.  It is quite easy to find a part-time job at Christmas. Students
often take part in another major social activity. They go to the beach to have fun in the sunshine. The
summer in Australia is from December to February, so going to the beach in December is very popular
among Australians.
     Easter in March is another important holiday in the year.  It actually combines "Good Friday" and
"Easter Monday". Almost every shop closes on Good Friday. And people usually go to see Easter Show.
     The Chinese New Year is not a public holiday in Australia, so every Chinese student still has to go to
school to study and do his or her normal duties.
