Riches and Romance from Frante's Wine Harvest
September is harvest time. And with bunches of grapes swinging (搖擺) in the wind, the vineyards of southern France are getting ready to celebrate it.
The yearly wine festival is held in honour of Bacchus, the Roman god of wine. It's a fun time with parties, music, dancing, big meals and, of course, lots of wine.
French wine-making began more than 2,500 years ago. The world's oldest type of vine grows in France and always produces a good quality wine. Today France produces one-fifth of the world's wine, and some of the most famous varieties.
The top wine-producing areas are Bordeaux, Burgundy and the Loire Valley. Champagne, a drink used in celebrations, is named after the place where sparkling (有氣泡的) wine was first produced in 1700.
Wine is made from the juice of freshly picked grapes. It is the sugars that turn into alcohol.
Traditionally, people used to take off their shoes and crush the grapes with their bare feet to bring out the juice. Nowadays, this practice is usually carried out by machines.
Each wine producing region has its own character, based on its type of grapes and soil.
The taste of wine changes with time. Until 1850, all French champagne was sweet. Now, both wine and champagne taste slightly bitter.
The drink has always been linked with riches, romance and nobleness. Yet the French think of it in more ordinary terms.
They believe it makes daily living easier, less hurried and with fewer problems.
"All its links are with times when people are at their best; with relaxation, happiness, long slow meals and the free flow of ideas," wrote wine expert Hugh Johnson.
French people celebrate the grape harvest every September.

Dining Custom
Every land has its own dining custom, and the United States is no exception. Americans feel that the first role of being a polite guest is to be on time. Ifa person is invited to dinner at 6:30, the hostess expects him to be there at 6:30 or not more than a few minutes after. Because she usually does her own cooking, she times the meal so that the coffee and meat will be at their best at the time she asks the guest to come. If he is late, the food will not be so good, and the hostess will be disappointed.
When the guest can not come on time, he calls his host or hostess on the telephone, gives the reason,and tells at what time he thinks he can come.
As guests continue to arrive, the men in the group stand when a woman enters and remain standing until she found a chair. A man always rises when he is being introduced to a woman. A woman does not rise when she is being introduced either to a man or a woman unless the woman is much older.
When the guests sit down at a dinner table, it is customary for the men to help the ladies by pushing their chairs under them.
Even an American may be confused by the number of knives, forks, and spoons besides his plate when he sits down to a formal dinner. The rule is simple, however: use them in the order in which they lie, beginning from the outside, or watch the hostess and do what she does. The small fork on the outside on the left is for salad, which is often served with the soup. The spoon on butter spreader, on a small bread-and-butter plate at the left. As the bread is passed, each guest puts his piece on the bread-and-butter plate.

參考答案
1.B。題幹：作爲一個移民國家，美國並沒有屬於自己的飲食習慣。利用題幹關鍵詞可以定位到文章第一段的第一句話，可知每個國家都有自己的飲食風俗，美國也不例外，故選擇B。
2.A。題幹：女主人計算時間做飯，以便當客人在預期的時間裏到達時可以享受到最可口的咖啡和飯菜。答案查找的相關線索詞爲：on time(準時)和coffee and meat(咖啡和肉)。先在第一段的第二句中找到on time，並在該段的第四句發現coffee and meat，兩者信息相符，故選擇A。
3.B。題幹：當一個女士被介紹給一個年長的男士時，她通常站起來。相關線索詞爲woman(女士)和an agedgentleman(一個年長的.男士)。先在第二段的最後一句中找到woman和old(aged的近義詞)。而該句說的是“年長的女士”這種情況，而不是年長的男士，說法不正確，故選擇B。
4.C。題幹：按照習俗，在餐桌上男人應爲女人安排座位。相關線索詞arrange chairs for ladies(爲女士安排座位)或該短語的同義短語/句子。原文中沒提到該動作，故選C。
5.A。題幹：在美國的正式宴席上，盤子旁邊的刀、叉子和調羹按一定的順序擺放。答案查找的相關線索詞爲：knives，forks and spoons(刀、叉子和調羹)。相關信息在第三段的第一句，說“原則是按照它們擺放的順序使用”，所以刀、叉子和調羹是有擺放順序的。故選A。
6.B。題幹意思爲“在正式的美國宴席上，盤子旁邊的刀、叉子和調羹的使用順序是從左到右”。這道題與前一題相關，在前一題我們已發現了涉及刀、叉子和調羹擺放順序的句子，而該句說“從外到裏”，所以應是從右到左，而不是從左到右。故選B。
7.C。題幹：在正式的美國宴席上，麪包通常和色拉、湯一塊兒吃。答案查找的相關線索詞爲：bread和soup。在原文第三段的第四句中發現“色拉和湯一塊兒吃”的說法，但並沒提到麪包，故選C。
