Theres no exchange of presents among business people, and if one American tries to give another a present, it may look like that he wants to bribe（贿赂） him. Americans have learned that in some other countries people like to give presents to others, but among ourselves we dont see the need for presents.Even friends may never exchange presents. When I go to foreign countries, I try to bring back little things for close friends, but nobody would feel unhappy if I didnt. I dont often remember a friends birthday, and few people outside of my family remember mine. If someone gave me presents too often, Id get unpleasant. But a present from a foreigner-that kind from his or her homeland-wont go wrong, except to government employees（政府职员） who cant be given presents.You usually open a present at once and in front of the person who gives it except Christmas and birthday presents. You should only say, Its so nice. Thanks when you get Christmas or birthday presents.You may want to bring a bottle of wine（葡萄酒） or flowers to a dinner party, but youre never asked to. Nobody will mind if you bring wine, but your friend may not use it that evening.At Christmas we often give presents to our family and sometimes our friends. We also give presents to people who have been helpful during the yeardoormen, babysitters, housecleaners, newspaper sendersanyone who has often helped us.（1）What kind of presents dont Americans usually open in front of the givers?

YES There is no law stopping restaurants from banning young children.Restaurant owners should be allowed to ban them.Kids often run around and cause problems for waiters and other customers. -Kate Barker Kids always cause a mess,but the parents refuse to do anything about their kids behaviors.Although kids may be at the center of their parents universe,they arent at the center of everyone elses. -Mike Vuick Adults sometimes want to talk and enjoy their dinner,but they cant if a child is crying and running all over the place.Thats why sometimes parents dont like eating at home.They wish they could have a good meal in the restaurants without kids noise. -Dale Levitsky NO Banning kids from restaurants is a bad idea.If kids were banned,many restaurants would lose business.Even if restaurants gave customers the chance to buy take-away meals for their kids,many families would probably still not eat there. -Nicholas Song Restaurants owners who ban kids think all children are wild and rude.But thats not true. Most childrens eating behaviors are good enough.Even though some kids do have bad manners,banning is not a right way to teach them.I think how a society treats its children is important.After all,all kids are people,too. -Elliott Hall（1）The restaurant in Monronroeville refuses _ to eat there.A . kidsB . petsC . menD . women（2）The restaurant in Monronroeville refuses _ to eat there.A . kidsB . petsC . menD . women（3）Dale Levitsky thinks parents sometimes dont like eating at home because _.A . they are too busyB . they dislike doing the dishesC . kids are too noisyD . restaurant food is more delicious（4）Dale Levitsky thinks parents sometimes dont like eating at home because _.A . they are too busyB . they dislike doing the dishesC . kids are too noisyD . restaurant food is more delicious（5）Who thinks it is wrong to ban kids?A .
