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.

A、They take the food home with a doggie bag for their dog
B、They leave the food on the table and go awa
C、They take the food home with a doggie bag and enjoy the food late
D、They ask the waitress or waiter to keep the food for the
【正确答案】:C
【题目解析】:根据文中内容“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.”(如果你吃不完你的餐点但想稍后享用,可以向服务员索要一个“doggie bag”。它上面可能有一只狗的图片,但每个人都知道你是为自己带食物。)可以推断出,当食物量过大时,美国人通常会选择将食物带回家稍后享用,并且他们使用“doggie bag”来装这些食物。
因此,选项C“They take the food home with a doggie bag and enjoy the food late”(他们用“doggie bag”将食物带回家稍后享用)是正确答案。选项A错误地假设了食物是给狗的,而实际上人们是为了自己而带走的;选项B表示人们会留下食物离开,这与文中内容不符;选项D表示人们会要求服务员为他们保存食物,这在文中没有提及。
