A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man-the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.
This attitude toward manual (体力的) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously (豪华地)furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional man may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.The expression "wait on table" in the second paragraph means "（）".

A、work in a furniture shop
B、keep accounts for a bar
C、wait to lay the table
D、serve customers in a restaurant

There was a very interesting remark in a book by an Englishman that I read recently（）what he thought was a reason for this American characteristic.

A.giving
B.gave
C.to give
D.given

答案：A
解析：
该题考查非谓语动词。其中介词短语by an Englishman与定语从句that I read recently都做定语修饰book。可见空格处应填一分词做定语修饰remark,而what he thought...characteristic做分词的宾语,其中he thought为插入语。由此排除B,C选项.根据句意,remark与give应是主动关系,故排除选项D.答案为A。
