In the US,people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don't know．This means a hostess may not seat a small group until a small table is available,even if a large one is．If you are sitting at a table with people you don't know,it is impolite to light up a cigarette without first asking if it will disturb them. At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water before you order．You may find the bread and butter is free,and if you order coffee,you may get a free refill. Most cities and towns have no roles about opening and closing times for stores or restaurants,though they usually do make rules for bars．Especially in large cities,stores may be open 24 hours a day． Servings in restaurants are often large,too large for many people．If you can't finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later,ask your waitress or waiter for a"doggie bag"．It may have a picture of a dog on it,but everybody knows you are taking food for yourself. Supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal．Some people have"Sunday dinner"．This is an especially big noon meal. Tips are not usually added to the check．They are not included in the price of the meal,either．A tip of about 15%is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave．In some restaurants,a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there．Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change. Which statement is true?
A、American people like sitting with people they don't kno
B、A hostess always seats a small group at a large tabl
C、American people never sit with people they don't kno
D、American people would not light a cigarette if the people who sit at the same table mind their smokin
【正确答案】：D
【题目解析】：首先，我们逐项分析题目中的选项和原文内容。 A选项：“American people like sitting with people they don't kno”，这与原文“In the US, people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don't know”相矛盾。原文表示美国人更喜欢等待空桌而不是和不认识的人同桌，所以A选项不正确。 B选项：“A hostess always seats a small group at a large table”，这与原文“This means a hostess may not seat a small group until a small table is available, even if a large one is”相矛盾。原文表示服务员可能不会在有大桌的情况下安排小团体在小桌，所以B选项不正确。 C选项：“American people never sit with people they don't kno”，这个选项过于绝对，原文只表示美国人更喜欢等待空桌而不是和不认识的人同桌，但并没有说“从不”和不认识的人同桌，所以C选项不正确。 D选项：“American people would not light a cigarette if the people who sit at the same table mind their smoking”，这与原文“If you are sitting at a table with people you don't know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without first asking if it will disturb them”相符。原文表示如果你和不认识的人同桌，在点烟前不先询问是否会打扰到他们是不礼貌的，即如果他们介意你抽烟，你就不会点烟。因此，D选项正确。 综上，正确答案是D。
