“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost everything.

Gao Wenqi, 49, owner of a restaurant in Xi'an, Shanxi, started to offer a new service on April 13, 2013: suspended meals (待用快餐). Now many restaurants in China, such as in Henan,Chongqing and Yunnan, have joined the program.
You can pay 10 yuan for a meal, which should be sold at 16, and leave it at the restaurant. Then other people in need, such as the disabled（殘疾人）， the poor elderly or homeless children,can have it without paying.
This idea comes from the cafes (咖啡館) in Naples, Italy. It's a tradition that someone there pays in advance for an extra (額外的) cup or two. Then another coffee-drinker can take them for free.
“The program is meaningful. It offers help with dignity（尊嚴(yán)），” said Gao to Xinhua. However, people are worried that someone who is able to pay would also ask for the suspended meals, so there should be rules for this program.
【小題1】According to the passage, this program may possibly take place        .

A．in a restaurant B．a(chǎn)t a bus station C．in a school D．on a train
【小題2】The suspended meals are offered to     .
A．students B．workers C．people in need D．the rich
【小題3】The underlined phrase “in advance” in the third paragraph means “_        _” in Chinese.
A．滯后 B．預(yù)先 C．優(yōu)先 D．勝過
【小題4】It's said that the idea of “suspended meals” comes from      .
A．Italy B．the U.S. C．Canada D．China
【小題5】Which of the following is NOT true?
A．Someone who is unable to pay can ask for the suspended meals.
B．The program is meaningful and it offers help with dignity.
C．Gao Wenqi's restaurant joined the program on April 13， 2013.
D．All customers must pay an extra meal at the restaurant.
