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 very little money. ” The other person may say, “OK, I'll meet you at McDonald'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’re 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 customs about who pays for dates 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.

(A) Winter is dangerous because it⁹s so difficult to know what is going to happen and accidents take place so easily. Fog can be waiting to meet you over the top of a hill. Ice might be hiding under the melting snow,waiting ahead to send you off the road. The car coming to you may suddenly slip (滑) across the road.

Rule Number One for driving on icy roads is to drive smoothly. Sudden movements can make a car very difficult to control. So every time you either start to stop your car,increase or reduce your speed,you must be as gentle and slow as possible. Suppose you are driving with a full cup of hot coffee on the seat next to you. Drive so that you wouldn’t spill (贼) it.

Rule Number Two is to pay attention to what might happen. The more ice there is,the further down the road you have to look. Test how long it takes to gently stop your car. Remember that you’v may be driving more quickly than you think. Generally,allow twice of your usual stopping distance when the road is wet,three times this distance on snow, and even more on ice. Try to stay in control of your car at all times and you will not get into trouble.
