Ⅰ. 阅读理解

Mr. Bean is an internationally recognized comedy character

on TV and in films. He constantly gets into awkward and absurd

situations，which greatly amuses audiences regardless of their nationalities or culture. The humour is always made clear through a series of simple

and funny acts that rely purely on body language，which is universal.

One of my favourite shows is that Mr. Bean has a meal in a fancy restaurant.

After being seated at his table，Mr. Bean takes out a card，writes a few words on

it，seals (密封) it in an envelope and places it on the table. After a moment，he looks back at the envelope but this time he looks surprised，as if he did not

know it was there. He opens it to find a birthday card and delightedly puts it on

the table for everyone to see.

When he looks at the menu，an astonished look swiftly appears on his face. He

takes all the money out of his wallet，counts it and puts it in a saucer (茶托)．He

then looks from the menu to the money with concern until he finds one thing that

makes him smile. Then he orders a dish called “steak tartare”．When the dish arrives，he is shocked to discover that“steak tartare” is actually raw hamburger. He makes

an attempt to eat it，but it is clear from the look on his face that he finds the

taste truly disgusting．He cannot hide his feelings，except when the waiter asks

if everything is all right. When this happens，he smiles and nods，indicating that

everything is fine. When the waiter is not looking，however，he busies himself hiding

the raw meat anywhere he can reach－the sugar bowl，the tiny flower vase，inside

a bun (小圆面包) and under a plate. He becomes so desperate in the end that he even

hides some inside the purse of a woman sitting near him and throws some down the

trousers of the restaurant's violinist!

I like to watch Mr. Bean on TV，but I wouldn't like to meet someone like him

in real life and I certainly wouldn't like to have dinner with him!
