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 e 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).
