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.
According to the passage, British bar staffs don’t like customers doing the following things, EXCEPT ______.
选项 A、being hesitant when ordering drinks
B、bargaining for the prices with them
C、occupying the seats around bar counters
D、staying late in the bars beyond the closing time
答案B
解析 事实细节题。选项A 、C 、D 都可以从文章中第二段找出对应的内容一致的句子。这一段第一句话首先说在英国酒吧要经常使用“请”，并且记住一些酒吧招待不喜欢顾客做的事。接下来第二至四句话作者列举了这些事，包括点东西的时候犹豫不决，让其他顾客等，符合选项A ；不点单也站在吧台前面挡着其他顾客，使其无法点东西，符合选项C ；还有一定要等到最后一刻才点那些需要花上很长时间才能喝完的烈性酒，符合选项D 。只有B “与店员还价”是文中没有提到过的。
