Dining Custom
Every land has its own dining custom,and the United States is no exception.Americans feel that the first rule of being a polite guest is to be on time.If a person is invited to dinner at 6:30,the hostess expects him to be there at 6:30 or no more than a few minutes after. Because she usually does her own cooking,she times the meal so that the coffee and meat will be at their Best at the time she asks the guest to come.If he is late,the food will not be so good,and the hostess will he disappointed.When the guest can not come on time,he calls his host or hostess on the telephone,gives the reason,and tells at what time he thinks he can come.
As guests continue to arrive,the men in the group stand when a woman enters and remain standing until she found a chair.A man always rises when he is being introduced to a woman.A woman does not rise when she is being introduced either to a man or a woman unless the woman is much older.
When the guests sit down at a dinner table,it is customary for the men to help the ladies by pushing their chairs under them.
Even an American may be confused by the number of knives,forks,and spoons besides his plate when he sits down to a formal dinner.The rule is simple,however:use them in the order in which they lie,beginning from the outside.Or watch the hostess and do what she does.The small fork on the outside on the left is for salad,which is often served with the soup.The spoon on butter spreader,on a small bread-and-butter plate at the left.As the bread is passed,each quest puts his piece on the bread-and-butter plate.

听力原文: The cost is going up for just about everything, and college tuition is no exception. According to a nationwide survey published by the College Board's Scholarship Service, tuition at most American universities will be on average of 9 percent higher this year over last.
The biggest increase will occur at private colleges. Public colleges, heavily subsidized by tax funds, will also increase their tuition, but the increase will be a few percentages points lower than their privately-sponsored neighbors.
As a follow up, the United Press International did their own study at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. At M.I.T., advisors recommended that students have $8,900 available for one year's expenses, including $5,300 for tuition, $2,685 for room and board, $630 for personal expenses, and $285 for books and supplies. Ten years ago the tuition was only $2,150. To put that another way, the cost has climbed 150 percent in the last decade.
An additional burden is placed on out-of-state students who must pay extra charges ranging from $200 to $2, 000, and foreign students who are not eligible for scholarships at state-funded universities.
On the brighter side, the survey revealed that college graduates are entering the best job market since the middle 1960s. Job offers are up 16 percent from last year, and salaries are good, at least for graduates in technical fields. For example, a recent graduate in petroleum engineering can expect to make as much as $20,000 per year. A student with a liberal arts degree might expect to make about half that salary.
