“Let’s go Dutch, shall we?” Jim said after a dinner to his friends in a restaurant. What does Jim mean?
Long ago, there was a kind of dinner called Dutch treat (款待). At a Dutch treat, the invited guests were expected to pay for their own share of the food and drink. Now, Dutch treat means when friends go out to have fun, each person pays his or her own share.
There are many other expressions related with “Dutch” in American English. However, most of them were first used in England in the 17th century. At that time, the British and the Dutch were war enemies. So when British people talked about something wrong or bad, they would like to use the word “Dutch”.
A common expression heard a few years ago was in Dutch. A friend may tell you, “You are in Dutch. The teacher is angry with you. Be careful!” When a soldier took Dutch leave, he left the army without permission. Dutch courage was the false courage produced by the effects of drinking wine.
There is one expression that did come from the Dutch. That is to talk like a Dutch uncle. The Dutch were known for the strict and serious way they educated their children.
59. What did people mean by saying “Let’s go Dutch”?
A. The guests should leave first.
B. Each person should pay his or her own bill
C. The food should be better next time.
D. People should go to another restaurant.
60. According to the passage, the British in the 17th century ___________.
A. first used the word “Dutch” B. were mistaken for Dutch people
C. got along well with the Dutch people D. used the word “Dutch” for something bad
61. If your friend says that he is in Dutch, he most probably means that ___________.
A. he is happy B. he is lucky C. he is in trouble D. he is on vacation
62. If someone spoke to you in a very serious way, you may say that he ___________.
A. was like a Dutch uncle B. would take a Dutch leave
C. had Dutch courage D. had a Dutch treat

Most visitors come to the UK expecting the rain and weather for which the country is famous. However, when summer finally arrives, British people like nothing more than heading for the coast. Here are some of more famous places of interest that you could expect to visit on a trip to Britain. Black pool, in the northwest of England, is the most visited place in the UK. Each year around 6.5 to 7 million people come to enjoy the miles of sandy beaches, the 158m Black pool Tower and the 11km-long Golden Mile, where there are entertainments, pubs, ice rinks (溜冰場) and even a zoo. On the south coast of the country you can find Brighton. Until 1786, Brighton was a sleepy village. Then the future king, George IV, decided to build a house there, and now it has become a large, international centre. Apart from the beaches, Brighton is famous for its pier (碼頭). There are theatres, entertainments and restaurants there. Brighton is also fantastic for shopping. If you want to travel a little further, why not go to Corn-wall in the far southwest of the UK? South Cornwall offers miles of sandy beaches and beautiful scenery. The climate there is warmer than the rest of Britain, and you can even find palm trees. For a bit more excitement, go to North Cornwall. The scenery there is nicer, and the beaches are famous for their powerful waves. As a result, North Cornwall has become the home of British surfing. One word of warning though, if you are using the roads in the UK during holidays, you can expect long traffic jams on the motorways. It might be better to take the train.
1.Which is the best title for this passage?
A．Let’s Go to the Beach! B．How to Enjoy Your Holidays
C．Welcome to Britain! D．How to Travel in Britain
2.We may find this passage in a ______.
A．geography book B．storybook C．travel guide D．news magazine
3.If Andrew likes surfing, which is the best place for him to spend his holidays?
A．Black pool. B．Brighton. C．South Cornwall. D．North Cornwall.
4.Which is NOT the reason why Brighton is famous?
A．In Brighton you can satisfy your appetite for shopping.
B．In 1786, George IV decided to build a house there.
C．There is an interesting pier in Brighton.
D．You can enjoy yourself on the beautiful beaches.
5.From the passage we can infer that ______.
A．there are no beaches in the east and west of Britain
B．Black pool is the most famous place in the UK
C．the pier is more interesting than the beaches in Brighton
