There are 70,000 pubs in England and Wales have several thousand more in Scotland.
Every country has its drinking shop, but none has an institution quite like the British pub. The most important feature of a good pub (which modern buildings hardly ever achieve) is a feeling of something private. It must have nooks and crannies, corners and snugs, where conversations and assignations can take place without the whole world listening in.
Most pubs have at least two separate bars. The “public bar” which is for ordinary and women is the basic drinking shop. The “lounge bar” (or saloon bar) which is for traveling salesmen and “ladies” probably has a carpet on the floor and rather more comfortable decoration. There may be a difference of a few pence in the drink prices, although all pubs are required by law to put their price lists easily seen on display.
Pubs have been changing over the past few decades. More and more of them sell good, inexpensive food and are competing strongly with restaurants. Tea and coffee are often on offer and children are being made more welcome. The law says that no one under 14 may enter a pub, and between 14 and 18 they must be accompanied by an adult and may not buy or consume alcoholic drink. In reality some pubs, especially in country districts, welcome whole families. Some set aside special rooms for children and where there are gardens they are almost always welcome.
The most basic change, however, came about in the 1938 licensing laws which allowed pubs in England and Wales to open not just at lunch time and in the evening, but all day, from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. (Scottish laws already permitted all day opening.)
【小题1】 Which of the following can be the best title?

A.Pubs’ historyB.Pubs in Britain
C.Changes of pubsD.Features of a good pub
【小题2】 According to the British people, what kind of pub is a good one?
A.The one with all day opening time.
B.The one with good and inexpensive food.
C.The one with all kinds of people enjoying themselves.
D.The one with different parts where people can have a private conversation.
【小题3】In paragraph 4, we can learn that                        .
A.pubs allow people above 14 to enter alone
B.pubs never allow people under 18 to enter
C.pubs don’t sell more expensive food than restaurants
D.pubs often sell alcoholic drinks as well as tea and coffee
【小题4】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A.The law requires all the pubs have slightly different prices of drinks.
B.Ordinary people and women are often having fun in the “public pub”.
C.In some country pubs, children accompanied by their parents are always welcome.
D.Scottish laws allow pubs to open not just at lunch time and in the evening, but all day.

  The average person learns most of the 30,000~40,000 words whose meaning he or she recognizes by hearing them or getting familiar with them in the context or simply absorbing them without conscious effort.The best way to build a good vocabulary, therefore, is to read a great deal and to participate in a lot of good talks.There are relatively few words that we learn permanently by purposefully referring to dictionaries or keeping word lists.However, even those extra few are of value, and no one will make a mistake by working on developing a larger vocabulary.Here are some suggestions of how to do it.

  Read plenty of good books.When you come across a new word, or a new meaning of an old word, stop and see if you can understand it from its context.If you can’t, and if you can manage without interrupting the thought of the book too much, look it up in a dictionary or ask somebody and then repeat its meaning to yourself a couple of times.If you are really conscientious, write the word and its meaning in a personal vocabulary list-preferably using it in a sentence, or you can keep a special vocabulary notebook.Go over the list from time to time.Further, try to use a new word in writing or conversation a few times over the next several days.

  Listen to good talks and be alert to new words you hear or to new meanings of words you already know.Then treat them just as you do the new words you read.

  Learn and be alert to the parts of words:prefixes, suffixes and roots.Knowing them enables you to make intelligent guesses about the meaning of words.

  If you are studying a foreign language, be alert to words in that language which relate to words in English.English has inherited or borrowed much of its vocabulary of 500,000~600,000 words from Latin, Greek, French, Spanish and German.
