7.When I lived in Spain,some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car.Before they left,they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所).I suggested that they should stay at‘bed and breakfast'houses,because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family.My friends listened to my advice,but they came back with some funny stories."We didn't stay at bed and breakfast houses,"they said,"because we found that most families were away on holiday."I thought this was strange.Finally I understood what had happened.My friends spoke little English,and they thought‘VACANCIES'meant‘holidays',because the Spanish word for‘holidays"is‘vacations'.So they did not go to house where the sign outside said‘VACANCLES',which in English means there are free rooms.Then my friends went to house where the sign said‘NO VACANCLES',because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday.But they found that these houses were all full.As a result,they stayed at hotels!We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs.In Spanish,the word‘DIVERSION'means fun.In English,it means that workmen are repairing the road,and that you must take a different road.When my friends saw the word‘DIVERSION'on a road sign,they thought they were going to have fun.Instead,the road ended in a hole,a large English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages.Once in Paris.when someone offered me some more.coffee,I said‘Thank you'in French.I meant that I would like some more,However,to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away!Later I found out that‘Thank you'in French means‘No,thank you.'根据短文内容选择最佳答案,并在答题卷上按要求作答.

分析 文章大意:
我朋友住在西班牙,在去英国之前问我一些关于如何找到住宿地方的意见,我建议他们呆在"床和早餐"的房子里,因为这种住宿给了外国游客一个很好的机会和家人说英语.可事实上朋友却住在普通的旅馆,因为发生了一些事情.
在"床和早餐"的房子里,我的朋友们把"有空缺"理解成了"放假",所以没有进去.
在巴黎,谢谢是不用了的意思.当时我在巴黎说了声谢谢想要在要一杯咖啡,结果他们就把咖啡收走了.
