The other person may say, “OK, Ill meet you at McDonalds(麦当劳). This means that the two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also say, “Oh, no. I want to take you to lunch at Smiths, or “I want you to try the Chinese dumplings there. Theyre great. This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards this person, you can go with him and you neednt pay for the meal. You may just say, “Thank you. That would be very nice.American customs（风俗） about who pays for dates（约会） are much the same as in other parts of the world. In the old days, American women wanted men to pay for all the meals. But, today, a university girl or a woman in businessworld will usually pay her way during the day. If a man asks her for a dance outside the working hours, it means “Come, as my guest（客人）,and I will treat you!” So as you can see, it is a polite thing to make the question clear(清楚) at the very beginning.1.

This true value of diamond is never known until it has been cut. Once cut successfully, its value can increase a thousand times.

In order to make best use of it, Kaplan, the cutter, studied the diamond for twelve whole months.When Kaplan felt he was ready to start work, he discovered a flaw(瑕疵). He had to begin his calculations all over again, otherwise he might have made the stone useless. Six more months passed, and Kaplan finally said to the owner, “Im ready to start. It will be comparable（和.类似） to any other diamond in the world, plus(以及) eleven small diamonds of first-class quality.” Kaplan waited a few more days until he felt he was in the best physical and mental condition(最佳身心状态) possible.
