阅读短文,完成第II卷第三大题的1—5小题。

This week I tried two new restaurants—Michelle’s and Anton’s. They are both French restaurants.

Michelle’s is a small place with about twenty tables. The waiters and waitresses are very friendly, and the service is excellent. I ordered chicken with orange sauce along with rice and a salad. Then I had a chocolate cake and coffee. The chicken was delicious, but the cake was too dry. The meal cost about thirty dollars.

Anton’s is a much bigger restaurant, and it was very crowded on that night. I waited twenty minutes for a table.Anton’s is noisier than Michelle’s, and the waiter was very slow with my meal. I ordered soup and a steak (牛排)with fried potatoes and vegetables. The soup wasn’t very hot. The steak was OK, but the vegetables weren’t very good. For dessert, I had ice cream. The meal was really expensive—about forty-five dollars.

Now you know why I would go to Michelle’s again, but not to Anton’s.
