二、阅读理解

1、 Some British and American people like to invite friends and colleagues for a meal at home.

You should not be upset (心烦意乱) if your English friends don't invite you home. It doesn't mean

they don't like you.

Dinner parties usually start between 7 and 8 p.m., and end at about 11. Ask your hosts what time

you should arrive. It's polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a present.

Do you want to be extra (特别地) polite? Say how much you like the room, or the pictures on the

wall. But remember - not to ask how much things cost.

You'll probably start the meal with soup, or something small as a "starter" (第一道菜), then

you'll have meat or fish with vegetables, and then a dessert (甜食), followed by coffee. It's polite to

finish everything on your plate and to take more if you want it. Some people eat bread with their meal,

but not everyone does.

Before they take out their cigarettes after the meal, most people usually ask, "Do you mind if I

smoke here?"

Did you enjoy the evening? Call your hosts the next day, or write them a short "thank you" letter.

Perhaps it seems funny to you, but British and American people say, "thank you, thank you, and thank

you." all the time.

extra polite.

2、The French Revolution broke out in 1789. At the time France was in a crisis. The government

was badly run and people's lives were miserable. King Louis XIV tried to control the national

parliament and raise more taxes. But his effort failed. He ordered his troops to Versailles. The people

thought that Louis intended to put down the Revolution by force. On July 14, 1789, they stormed and

took the Bastille, where political prisoners were kept. Ever since that day, July 14 has been the French

National Day. Louis tried to flee the country in 1792, to get support from Austria and Prussia.

However, he was caught and put in prison. In September 1792, the monarchy was abolished. In the

same year, Louis was executed. A few months later his wife, Marie, also had her head cut off. The

Revolution of France had frightened the other kings of Europe. Armies from Austria and Prussia

began to march against France. The French raised republican armies to defend the nation. The

Revolution went through a period of terror. Thousands of people lost their lives. In the end, power

passed to Napoleon Bonaparte.
