五、任务型阅读
Chaii Stop is a café in Preston, England. It recently received much attention after its owner made a new rule. The rule says that customers will pay different prices for desi chai, a kind of drink, according to how polite they are at the time of placing their orders.
If customers come in and just say "desi chai", they will pay £5 for one cup. If they say "desi chai, please", they'll get the drink for £3. Better still, if they say "Hello, desi chai, please", the drink will only cost £1.9.
Usman Hussain, the owner of the shop, came up with the idea. As for why he made the rule, he said, "I think it's a nice way to remind people to use their manners."
Hussain made a sign to tell customers the rule. And he hasn't asked anyone to pay £5 for the drink. "If one doesn't use his manners, I'll point to the sign, and he'll quickly ask again more politely," said Hussain.
"A lot of people can be quite rude in the morning while they're waking up. But the sign makes them think when they see it. And at the end of the day, you never know what someone is going through to make them act rudely. This sign may help them drop their guard (戒备)," Hussain added.
19. If someone is polite enough, how much does he need to pay for the drink at least? (不超过10个词)
20. What did Hussain do to tell customers the rule? (不超过10个词)
21. What do you think of the new rule? (不超过15个词)
