Pubs are an important part of British life. Pubs, formally public houses, are common in towns and villages in England.People usually talk,eat, drink,meet their friends and relax there.You can order soft drinks like orange juice,cola or coffee ,but many people go to pubs to have an alcoholic drink.Many types of alcoholic drinks are available, but the most popular drink is beer.
Traditional English beer comes in a variety of local flavors and is called ‘draught’beer .All draught beer is served from a hand pump on the bar rather than in bottles or cans. Unlike American or other European beers, it is served cool but not cold.Nowadays,a lot of English people enjoy a European beers called lager(淡味啤酒).This is lighter, more refreshing(清新的) and is served cold. Beer is sold in pint or half-pint glasses (a pint is just over half a litre).When you order a drink, ask for a ‘pint’ or a ‘half’ of the beer you want to try.
There is no waiter service in an English pub.You go to the bar and place your order to the pub staff. They will pour your drinks and pass them to you. They will then tell you how much to pay.You have to pay your drinks there and then. After receiving your change,you can carry your drinks back to a table to enjoy. It is usual for friends to take turns buying drinks for each other.This is known as’buying a round’.
Pubs sell cheap food too.The choice of food ranges(涉及) from small bar snacks such as crisps and peanuts ,to three-course meals.A popular meal during the summer months is a ‘ploughman’s lunch ’.This is a dish of bread ,cheese or ham ,and salad which is served cold.You will often find a pub’s menu written on a blackboard .There may even be daily specials for you to try.
You must be at least 18 years old to buy alcohol(含酒精的饮料)in England. Children under 14 years old are not usually allowed inside a pub, but families with children can sit outside in the garden, known as the beer garden ,when the weather is warm .Parents are allowed to buy soft drinks for their children.

Many people like to travel(旅游)by plane, because it is fast. But I don' t like it because an airport(机场)is usually far from the city. You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off and it is often late. You can’t open the windows. You can’t choose the food. Planes are fast, but they still take hours to go out of the airport and into the city.
I like traveling by train. I think trains are safe. Railway stations are usually in cities. When you are late for a train, you can catch another one. You can walk around in the train and open the windows. You can see many interesting things on your way. I know it takes a little more time.
I also like cars. You can start your journey(旅程)when you want to, and you don’t need to get to a railway station or a bus stop. Also you can carry(携带)many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.Why do many people like to travel by plane?
A.Because it is safe |
B.Because it is fast. |
C.Because you can walk around in the plane |
D.Because it is cheap. |
Which is NOT the good thing about the train?
A.It is safe. |
B.It takes a little more time |
C.You can open the windows. |
D.You can walk around in the train. |
