In the US, people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don’t know. If you are sitting at a table with people you don’t know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without asking if it will disturb them.
At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water (自來水) before you order. You may find bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill（續(xù)杯）.
Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing time for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.
Serving (一份) in restaurants is often large, too large for many people. If you can’t finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a “doggie bag”. It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows you’re taking the food for yourself.
Supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal. Some people have “Sunday dinner”. This is an especially big noon meal.
Tips are not usually added to the check. They are not included in the price of the meal, either. A tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave. In some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change.
小題1:Which of the following statements is true?
A．American people like sitting with people they don’t know.
B．You may find bread and coffee is free.
C．American people never sit with people they don’t know.
D．American people won’t light a cigarette if the people who sit at the same table mind their smoking.
小題2:What do American people always do when servings are too large for them?
A．They take the food home with a “doggie bag” for their dogs.
B．They leave the food on the table and go away.
C．They take the food home with a “doggie bag” and enjoy the food later.
D．They ask the waitress or waiter to keep the food for them.
小題3:What can you learn about “tips” according to the passage?
A．Customers often add tips to their check.
B．Tips are supposed to be left on the table when customers leave.
C．People don’t need to pay tips.
D．The price of the meal usually includes the tip.

小題1:D
小題2:C
小題3:B

Most students think my reasons for this rule include negative experiences in the past when students made wrong use of technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. I’ve seldom had students make wrong use of technology in my classes; however, I have been e-mailed by students while they were in other teachers’ classrooms.
Some students think that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. As I noted above, I love technology and try to keep up with it.
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations. Interruptions (中斷) by technology often break students’ thoughts and make them depend too much on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep in themselves for ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between the course material and the class discussion.
I have been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations (評價) show student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize with deep conversation and difficult tasks, they learn at a deeper level – a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.
I am not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change, I will continue my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.
小題1:The writer’s rule for his History Matters class is ____.
A．discussing historical ideas deeply
B．studying and discussing the materials
C．leaving technology out of the classroom
D．making right use of technology in class
小題2:The word “negative” in Paragraph 3 means ____.
A．similarB．unforgettableC．specialD．unpleasant
小題3:What can we know from the passage?
A．Students make right use of technology in other teachers’ classes.
B．The classroom is one of the good places to have deep conversations.
C．The writer encourages students to agree with others after discussion.
D．Students are unhappy with the writer’s way of teaching history.
小題4:The writer wants to tell us that ____.
A．technology has different influences in different classes in college
B．technology makes it difficult to have true communication in class
C．history classes can help students to develop their deep thinking
D．it is time for him to give up his teaching method in history class
