A
An important question about eating out is who pays for the meal．If a friend of yours asks you to have lunch with him, you may say something like this, “I’ m afraid it’ll have to be someplace cheap, as I have little money．” The other person may say, “Ok, I’ll meet you at MacDonald’s．”
This means that the two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself．He may also say, “Oh, no, I want to take you to lunch at Smith’s,” or “I want you to try the Chinese dumplings there．They are great．” This means the person wants to pay for both of you．If you feel friendly towards the person, you can go with him and you needn’t pay for the meal．You may just say, “Thank you．That would be very nice．”
American custom about who pays for dates (约会) are much the same as in other parts of the world．In the old days, American women wanted men to pay for all the meals．But, today, a university girl or a woman in business world will usually pay her way during the day．If a man asks her for a dance outside the working hours, it means “Come, as my guest．” So as you can see, it is a polite thing to make the question clear at the very beginning．
36．The passage tells us________．
A．how to eat out B．where to eat out
C．what to eat out D．who pays for the meal
37．If you have little money, ________．
A．you’ll have a cheap meal

I often dreamed about Pisa when I was a boy．I read about the famous building called the Leaning Tower of Pisa．But when I read the word Pisa, I was thinking of pizza．I thought this tower was a place to buy pizza．It must be the best place to buy pizza in the world, I thought．
Many years later I finally saw the Leaning Tower．I knew then that it was Pisa and no pizza．But there was still something special about it for me．The tower got its name because it really does lean（倾斜) to one side．Some people want to try to fix it．They are afraid it may fall over and they don’t like it leans over the city．
I do not think it’s a good idea to try to fix it．The tower probably will not fall down．It is 600 years old．Why should anything happen to it now? And, if you ask me, I like what it looks like．To me it is a very human kind of leaning．Nothing is perfect, it seems to say．
And who cares? Why do people want things to be perfect? Imperfect things may be more interesting．Let's take the tower in Pisa．Why is it so famous? There are many other older, more beautiful towers in Italy．But Pisa tower is the most famous．People come from all over the world to see it．
41．This passage is about ________．
A．Italian pizza B．Italy’s problems
C．How the Leaning Tower of Pisa got its name
D．Why the writer likes Pisa

A．in Spain B．not very famous
C．not the same as pizza D．the same as pizza

C．thinks it’s the most beautiful tower in Italy
D．doesn’t like towers
45．The writer likes the Leaning Tower of Pisa because ________．
