    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.

2. The bar workers will think _________ if you look very excited.

A. you have been served

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

C. 经理
D. 病人

5. What is the passage mainly about?

A. The difference between a British bar and a Chinese bar.

　　These simple ways can increase(增加)your popularity and win you more friends, so why not try them?

　　●PAYING ATTENTION TO OTHERS This will reduce any shyness you may have．You'll be more relaxed and therefore more natural and fun．And you will get more good-people will love the fact that you're paying attention to them while you don't have to worry about what people think of you．
