24、Experts believe that there are more than 8 million restaurants in the world today. So it might surprise you to learn that restaurants, as we know them, have only existed for a few centuries. Before 1765, there were no restaurants. That is, there were no places that provided the restaurant experience. There was nowhere in which a waiter brought you food and drink that you picked from a menu. In fact, there were no menus anywhere.

There were eating places travellers could go to centuries before that. The countryside was full of inns that would serve food. And there were taverns where one could get drinks. The rich could also eat special meals prepared by private cooks. But none of them could be called a “restaurant”.

A man called Boulanger changed that. In 1765, he opened a place in Paris that sold soups. On his sign he used the word “restaurant” to describe what he was selling. At that time, soups were considered something that could help “restore” (恢复) your health—in French the word “restore” is “restaurer?”—so he called the soups “restaurants”. Soon, people started buying Boulanger’s soups even when they were not ill. And over time, people began to use the word “restaurant” to refer to a place selling soup rather than the soup itself. More “restaurants” opened in France, and people began to buy soups more often.

Later, restaurants in Paris began to serve other food besides soup. In the 1790s, menus started to appear. By the mid-1800s, there were many types of restaurants throughout the world. The United States offered coffee shops. Tea houses became popular throughout China. Paris created beautiful restaurants for the rich. The British began to copy the French, and the restaurant idea spread throughout the British Empire.

Today cities are filled with all types of restaurants. Diners have millions of options from which to choose.

【1】According to the first paragraph, what made restaurants different from earlier eating places?

A．Restaurants only served food.

B．Restaurants were more expensive.

C．Restaurants were mainly in cities.

D．Restaurants had a list of meal choices.

【2】Who did Boulanger expect to come and eat at his restaurant?

A．Rich people.

B．Sick people.

C．Travellers.

D．Workers.

【3】When it was first used, what did the word “restaurant” refer to?

A．A person.

B．A place.

C．Illness.

D．Soup.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A．How restaurants developed.

B．What made a good restaurant.

C．Who created the first restaurant

D．Why restaurants became popular.

25、Rules are everywhere. We have many rules in our daily life, because they are very important to us. We have to follow them. Here are two pieces of them.

【1】Where may this piece of Exit Seat Criteria appear?

A．On the ship.

28、任务型阅读

阅读下列短文，根据短文信息完成文后表格，每空一词。

Making a public speech is the thing that most people don’t want to do. The reason is that we are all afraid of making mistakes in front of others. The more important the speech is， the more frightened we will be. But forget it now. Public speaking is easy. It’s just a simple talking， Although I’m a shy man， I’ve been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years. Anybody who can talk can speak in public. Here are some of the lessons I have learned：

Keep your speech simple. Your audience can’t take all of your main ideas， and they can only remember one or two of them， not ten or twenty. So you should prepare one or two of your main ideas very well. But if you can’t express what you want to say， then your speech will not be paid attention to. And if you don’t have a clear idea of what you want to say， your audience won’t， either.

Organize your speech well. No matter how long or short your speech is， you have to organize your speech—how you are going to open or begin， what main points you want to make and how you’re going to close or end. A strong close is usually very important and critical(关键的)： the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember. If not， they will be confused.

Keep your speech not long. The standard length of a speech is usually 12 minutes. Most people can’t put their minds in one thing for too long time， which will make them tired and lose their interest. If you pay no attention to your audience’s reaction(反应)，the audience will get bored. Of course， your speech will fail.

Following these suggestions above， you can make a good speech in public， and you will be an excellent speaker， I think.
