Read the following two passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices to answer each question or complete each statement.

                                               Passage 2
    As there are so many nationalities (民族) in America, people can find almost any kind of restaurants in most of the large cities. The telephone book lists restaurants for each city according to the name, area (地区) of the city, or kind of food. Restaurants in large cities vary greatly in price. Many restaurants put up their menus (菜单) on the window so you can have some idea of the price and kind of food before you enter. If you cannot find the menu on the window, and you are not sure about how expensive the place is, ask to see a menu before you sit down at a table, or just ask about the price. Appearances from the outside can be misleading (误导) -- what looks like a small, informal restaurant may really be very expensive, and what looks like a large, expensive restaurant may be very reasonable (价格合理的).
    You can get a meal for about $4 or $5 or a little more if you eat in a snack bar (快餐馆) or coffee shop, but in most city restaurants you should expect to pay $8 to $10 a person for dinner, with alcoholic (酒精的) drinks and wine extra (另付). Prices in New York City are even higher.
