Mallery invited me. And because dinner parties in London are very different from those back in New York.
There, "I’m having a dinner party" means: "I"m booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you can"t afford and
we"ll be sharing the checque evenly, no matter what you eat. " Worse, in Manhattan there is always someone
who leaves before the bill arrives. They"ll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me,
who don’t drink, end up paying even more. But if I try to use the same trick, the hostess will shout:"Where
are you going?" And it"s not like I can say I have somewhere to go: everyone know I have nowhere to go.
But in London, dinner parties are in people"s homes. Not only that, the guests are an interesting mix. The
last time I went to one, the guests were from France, India. Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at
the United Nations in New York. The mix is less striking. It"s like a gathering at Bloomingdale"s, a well-known
department store.
For New Yorkers, talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in New York. But
at Mallery"s, when I said that I had been to Myanmar recently, people knew where it was. In New York people
would think it was a usual new club.
B. Try
C. Style.
D. Goal
B. The restaurants are expensive.
C. The bill is not fairly shared.
D. People have to pay cash.
B. Full of tricks.
C. Less cosdy.
D. More interesting.
B. Self-centered.
C. Generous.
D. Conservative.

举一反三
And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He
is dead!
Of course he isn"t really dead. With any luck he isn"t even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high
windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars or even catch fire, are professionals. They do this
for a living. These men are called stuntmen (特技演员). That is to say, they perform tricks.
They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building.
However, they do not fall onto hard ground but onto empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (床垫).
Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through
windows, the glass is made of sugar!
But although their work depends on tricks of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training.
Often a stuntman"s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is "blown up" in a battle scene,
he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.
Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They sometimes get seriously
injured, and even killed. A Norwegian (挪威的) stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff a thousand
feet high. His parachute (降落伞) failed to open and he was killed.
In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women to
perform some dangerous actions. For nowadays there are stunt girls, too.
B. Parachutes must be of good quality.
C. The percentage of serious accidents is high.
D. The cliff was too high.
B. like to lead dangerous lives
C. often perform seemingly dangerous actions
D. often fight each other for their lives
B. selling their special (特别的) skills
C. jumping out of high windows
D. jumping from fast moving trains
B. he will be covered with a mattress
C. his life is in danger
D. his safety is generally all right
B. Exactness.
C. Speed.
D. Carefulness.
(商业广告) thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether
you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard (广告牌) glides (滑行) by outside the bus window.
"Buy Super Clean Toothpaste." "Drink Good Wet Root Beer." "Fill up with Pacific Gas." Only if you sleep,
which is equal to turning the television off, are you spared the unending cry of "You Need It! Buy It Now!"
The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you"ve traveled that way before.
Usually some things have changed new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver
has a style of driving and it"s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless
(鲁莽的) or daring, the ride can be as thrilling (惊险的) as a suspense (悬念) story. Will the driver pass the
truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left hand lane (车道)? After a while, of course, the
excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus
rides more interesting. But you"ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can
make you very thirsty between stops.
The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there"s a kind of
expectation and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now
you"ve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the arm rests even with
your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at no more ways to sit.
B. Films on television.
C. Advertisements (广告) on the billboards.
D. Gas stations.
B. To persuade you to take a long bus trip.
C. To explain how bus trips and television shows are different.
D. To describe the billboards along the road.
B. driving alone
C. a television set on the bus
D. no billboards along the road
B. they both have a beginning, a middle, and an end, with commercials in between
C. the drivers are always reckless on TV shows just as they are on buses
D. neither traveling nor watching TV are not exciting.
B. comfortable
C. tiring
D. boring
