问题     Amazingly for the British, who love queues, there is no formal line-up—the bar staff is skilled at knowing whose turn it is. You are permitted to try to attract attention, but there are rules about how to do this. Do not call out tap coins on the counter, snap your finger or wave like a drowning swimmer. Do not frown or sigh or roll your eyes. And whatever you do, do not ring the bell hanging behind the counter—this is used by the landlord to signal closing time. ①The key thing is to catch the bar worker’s eyes. You could also hold an empty glass or some money, but do not wave them about. Do adopt an expectant, hopeful, even slightly anxious facial expression. If you look too contented and pleasant, the bar staff may assume you are already being served.
     Always say "please" and try to remember some of the British bar staffs pet hates. They do not like people to keep others waiting while they are making up their minds. They don’t like people standing idly against the bar when there are a lot of customers wanting for service. And they do not like people who wait until the end of the order before asking for such drinks as Guinness stout which take considerably longer to pour than other drinks.②
     One Dutch tourist who spent six months visiting 800 of Britain’s 61,000 pubs and interviewing 50 bar bosses and workers and more than 1,000 customers said:“ I cannot understand how the British ever man- age to buy themselves a drink. ”③ But they do, and if you follow these tips you should be able to do so, too.
     Speaking of tips, you should never offer the bar staff a cash tip. The correct behavior is to offer them a drink~ Pubs pride themselves on their egalitarian atmosphere. A tip in cash would be a reminder of their service role, whereas the offer of a drink is a friendly gesture. [br] What can we learn from the passage?
选项 A、People usually stand in line in British bars.
B、It’s easy for foreigners to understand British bar culture.
C、Customers treat bar tenders as friends.
D、You are not allowed to make noise in British bars.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。选项A 与文中第一段首句“there is no formal line-up"相反；选项B 和文中第三段第一句的内容相反；选项D 并没有在原文中提到，为无关选项；根据文章后—段可知C 正确。
