Janice is an American engineer working in Nanjing. She and her husband George, who is teaching English at a university, have been eager to get to know Chinese people better, so they were pleased when Liu, Janice’s young co-worker, invited them to her home for dinner.
When they arrived, Liu introduced them to her husband Yang and asked them to sit down at a table containing eight plates of various cold dishes. Half an hour later she came back and sat down and the three began to eat. Yang came in from time to time, putting hot dishes on the table. Most of the food was wonderful, though neither George nor Janice could eat the fatty pork, and there was much more than they could eat. They kept wishing Yang would sit down so they could talk to him. Finally he did sit down to eat a bit, but soon it was time to go home.
Janice and George felt slightly depressed by this experience, but returned the invitation two weeks later. They decided to make a nice American meal and felt lucky to find olives, crackers(脆饼), tomato juice, and even some cheese in the shop. They put these out as appetizers(开胃品). For the main course they prepared spaghetti and a salad.
When Liu and Yang arrived and began to have dinner, they took small tastes of the appetizers and seemed surprised when both George and Janice sat down with them. They ate only a little spaghetti and didn’t finish the salad on their plates. After a while, George cleared the table and served coffee and pastries(糕点). Yang and Liu each put four spoons of sugar into their coffee but didn’t drink much of it and ate only a bite or two of pastry.

阅读以下段落,从选项中挑出符合各段大意的选项,第三段段意已给出。注意其中有一项是多余的。
    1. I love bridges! Walking across a large river, a busy road or over a railway line is very exciting for me.
Sometimes, if the bridge is very high, I feel like I'm flying. If the bridge is very long, I think there may be a
problem arriving at the other side. If the bridge is very narrow, I think it may break! When I travel I like to
cross bridges. In the USA I crossed the Golden Gate, in Australia I crossed the Sydney Harbour Bridge and
when I was in Thailand I crossed the Friendship Bridge to Laos.
    2. Luckily I live in London and there are many bridges here. I live near Chelsea Bridge. So you can imagine
how excited I was to hear that there was a new bridge to celebrate the millennium (太平盛世). A new bridge
in London! The first new pedestrian bridge! A bridge just for people, so no cars, trains or pollution. 
     (Excitement about a new bridge) Every weekend I went to see the building of the bridge. It was great
to see it changing and growing. Then at last it was finished and it looked beautiful. It runs from St Paul's
Cathedral to Southwark, it is long and wide. 
     3. I was really happy that day the bridge opened. I went with my friend Janice and we waited with all the
other people who wanted to cross the bridge too. Everyone was very happy and talking about the bridge. The
mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, said:"It will be so good to actually walk across the river peacefully,
without cars and trains thundering by." 
     4. Then, at last, we walked across the bridge! We walked slowly and looked down at the river below. I
was very excited. Then I could feel the bridge move a little. It moved to the left and then it moved to the right.
Then it moved again to the left and to the right again. I wasn't excited now, I was a little afraid. The other
people stopped talking and looked at each other. The bridge was swinging to the left and right! I was very
happy to arrive at the other side of the river without a problem. 
     5. The next day the bridge was closed and it had a new name: not the Millennium Bridge but the Wobbly
(摇摆) Bridge! The architect said there was not a problem: the bridge is designed to move. So the bridge was
reopened again later. It is now my favorite bridge in London and I try and cross it as many times as possible.
A. The building of the new bridge
B. Moving bridge finally won my love
C. Opening of the new bridge
D. Special feeling about brdges
E. Everybody loved the bridge
F. Walking across the new bridge
