What is your favorite color？ Ask famous persons like Cate Blanchett， Scarlett Johnson， and Bono （singer for the band U2）， and maybe they will say “green.” That’s not because these artists like the color green best.

Many years before the United States was founded[建立]， Americans had already invented barbecues.
But the first barbecues， in fact， were the invention of the Taino Indians of Haiti， who dried their meat on raised frames[架子]of sticks over fires. Spanish explorers spelled the Taino word as barbacoa， and as time passed， English settlers along the Atlantic coat had their own barbecues.
One summer day in 1773， Benjamin Lynde， a citizen of Massachusetts， wrote in his diary， “Fair and hot; Browne; hack overset.” That is， on a bright and hot day he went to the Brownes to attedn a barbecue， and his carriage[马车] fell over. It shows that the barbecue had its social occasion by that time. Large animals would be roasted whole on frames over hot fires， and neighbours would be invited to dinner.
In later centuries， as settlers moved to the west， the barbecue went along with it， reaching an especially large size in Texas， where a pit[坑] for fuels[燃料] such as tree branches might be over ten feet deep.
Today， the barbecue grills[燒烤架] which are fueled by charcoal[木炭] or electricity are likely to be small and easy to move， and can cook only parts of an animal at a time， but people still have barbecues out of doors and always invite their neighbours or friends over.
1. Who invented the barbecues first in history？ A. American people.
B. Taino Indians.
C. Spanish explorers.
D. English settlers.
2. The second paragraph mainly tells us that the barbecue ______.
A. is only held on a hot sunny day
B. welcomes people who keep diaries
C. is held both indoors and outdoors
D. has its social occasion for over 200 years
3. The underlined expression “social occasion” can be best translated into ______.
A. 社交功能
B. 社会福利
C. 社会地位
D. 社会背景
4. The following are all the barbecue ways EXCEPT ______.
A. drying meat on raised frames of sticks over fires
B. roasting a whole animal over a pit full of burning tree branches
C. cooking parts of animals over fires on grills fueled by charcoal
D. heating meat in the bright and hot daylight

If you go to Egypt， you’ll see a lot of pyramids[金字塔]. The biggest of all is the Great Pyramid; it is about 137 meters high and made of 2，300，000 big stones. Each stone weighs about two and a half tons[吨].The biggest ones even weigh fifteen tons. It took more than 100，000 men twenty years to build it. Nobody can tell just how the men cut， carried and lifted[举] the huge[巨大] stones without our modern machines.
The Egyptian kings[国王] had the pyramids built for themselves. They thought they had tombs strong enough to keep their bodies well until they came back to life. But they never thought that about 5，000 years later their bodies would be on show in museums.

These days， most people in Britain and the US do not wear formal[正式的] clothes. But sometimes it is important to wear the right thing. Many British people don’t think about clothes very much. When they go out to enjoy themselves， they can wear almost anything. At theatres[劇院]， cinemas and concerts[音乐会] you can put on anything you like： from beautiful suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything goes， as long as you look clean and tidy. But in Britain， as well as in the US， men in offices usually wear suits and ties and women wear dresses or skirts （not trousers）. Doctors and business people always wear quite formal clothes. And in some hotels and restaurants men have to wear ties and women have to wear tidy dresses. In many ways， Americans are less formal than British people， but they are more careful with their clothes. At home， or on holiday， most Americans wear informal[非正式的] or sports clothes. But when they go out in the evening， they like to look nice. In good hotels and restaurants， men have to wear jackets and ties， and women have to wear pretty clothes.
It is difficult to say exactly[确切地] what people wear in Britain and the US， because everyone is different. If you are not sure what to wear， watch what other people do and then do the same. You’ll feel good if you don’t look too different from everyone else.
