1、Pub hours shake-up revealed next week
By James Hardy Political Editor
PUBS and clubs will be allowed to stay open round-the-clock under a planned radical change of Britain's outdated licensing (许可证发放) laws.
Prime Minister Tony Blair yesterday revealed a Bill (议案) to bring in the long-awaited improvement will be contained in the Queen's Speech next week.Some public bars and clubs could be open all hours while others could choose different closing times into the early hours.
Police forces around the country have said different closing times will mean the explosion in violence and vandalism (破坏行为) after 11p.m.-when aggressive drunks are sent out at the same time.
The move will be opposed by some MPs (下院议员) who fear it will lead to increased alcoholism, drunken behavior and crime.But ministers say there will be controls on which pubs and clubs are allowed to open 24 hours a day.
Places which consistently attract violent drunks and troublemakers will be turned down.
Mr.Blair said: "We believe there should be greater flexibility in licensing.In the end, the evidence that we have is that it may help in the fight against anti-social behavior.At the moment the very fixed nature of the hours sometimes means that you get particular problems outside pubs and city centers at particular hours of the evening."
The big change will be accompanied by a strict action on petty criminals who cause misery to urban and rural communities.
In a bid to prevent criticism of the licensing improvement, the Govenment is to extend on-the-spot fines to a range of offences from vandalism.
The PM said yesterday petty crime was the single biggest cause of daily aggressive behavior for millions.

2、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.
