She had been swimming for nearly sixteen hours. Already she was the first woman to swim the English Channel in both directions. Now, at age 34, her goal was to become the first woman to swim from Catalina Island to the California coast. On that Fourth of July morning in 1952, the sea was like an ice bath and the fog was so dense she could hardly see her support boats. Alongside Florence in one of the boats, her mother and her trainer offered encouragement. They told her it wasn’t much farther. But all she could see was fog. They encouraged her not to stop swimming. She never had-until then. With only a half mile to go, she asked to be pulled out.Still warming her chilled body several hours later, she told a reporter, “Look, I am not excusing myself, but if I could have seen land I might have made it. It was not tiredness or even the cold water that beat her. It was the fog. She was unable to see her goal. Two months later, she tried again. This time, despite the same dense fog, she swam with her confidence and her goal clearly pictured in her mind. She knew that somewhere behind that fog was land and this time she made it! Florence Chadwick became the first woman to swim the Catalina Channel, eclipsing the men’s record by two hours!
In the U．S．, people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don’t know．If you are sitting at a table with people you don’t know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without first asking if it will disturb them．
At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap(水龙头)water before you order．You may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill．
Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing times for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars．Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day．
Servings[(食物的)份] in restaurants are often large, too large for many people．If you can’t finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a“doggie bag”．It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows you’re taking the food for yourself．
Supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal．Some people have“Sunday dinner”．This is an especially big noon meal．
Tips(小费)are not usually added to the check．They are not included in the price of the meal, either．A tip of about 15％is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave．In some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there．Then the waiter of waitress brings you your change．
