问题    You are going to read a magazine article in which a famous chef talks about the importance of good service in restaurants. Choose the most suitable heading from the list A-I for each part (1-7) of the article. There is one extra heading you do not need to use. There is an example at the beginning (0).
   A  A central figure
   B  A policy for the times
   C  Seen but not heard
   D  A fairer system
   E  Playing the right part
   F  Time well spent
   G  A strong sense of involvement
   H  The deciding factor
   I  All-round improvement
                                At your service
   Top chef and restaurant owner Giancarlo Curtis talks about what he looks for, apart from good food, when he eats out.
   Recently, I went into a restaurant near my home where I have eaten several times over the years. It used to have old-fashioned traditional style, but it has just re-opened after being completely renovated. The new surroundings seem to have given a lift to everything, from the food cooked by a new chef from Brittany in France, to the atmosphere and the quality of the service.
【B1】______
   Many hours of behind-the-scenes work must have gone into getting the service so good. The staff were very pleasant and the speed with which they reacted to customers’ needs was excellent. When someone sneezed, a box of tissues appeared. I have never seen that before in a restaurant. The preparation has certainly paid off.
【B2】______   
   Twenty years ago when people went out to restaurants, they probably never set eyes on the chef— probably didn’t even know his name. But the person they did know was the head waiter. He was the important one, the person who could get you the best table, who could impress your friends by recognising you when you arrived.
【B3】______　　　　
   Things have changed, but I think what is going to happen with so many good new restaurants opening these days is that the waiters are going to become very important again. The level of service is what is going to distinguish one restaurant from another.
【B4】______
   But we are talking about modern, unstuffy service, which is not four waiters hovering around your table making you nervous, but a relaxed presence, giving you the feeling there is someone there and providing help and advice when you need it. There is a fine distinction between a server and a servant, and this is what the best waiter has learnt to appreciate.
【B5】______
   Although they have to be commercial, the most popular restaurants aim to provide the kind of reception, comfort and consideration you would give to someone coming for a dinner party at your home. Service is not about the correctness of knives and forks and glasses— people really don’t care about those things any more—nowadays it is about putting people at their ease.
【B6】______
   What’s more, waiting staff need to have a stake in the success of the enterprise. I realised that when I opened my own restaurant. The staff, chefs and waiters did all the decorating and the flowers themselves and it worked well because the right atmosphere had been created by people who cared.
【B7】______
   Above all, the waiting staff should be consistent, which is why I have always preferred the custom of putting an optional service charge on the bill, rather than relying on discretionary tips, so that all the stall feel valued. I don’t like the kind of situation where there is competition going on, with one star waiter trying to outshine the rest. That affects the quality of the service as a whole.
【B5】______
选项
答案B
解析 “Apolicyforthetimes”即”当前时代适用的策略”。该段主要讲述尽管餐厅是以盈利为目的，但是最受欢迎的餐厅始终都是以能使顾客感到宾至如归为目标，现在人们更在乎的是舒适，而不是刀叉摆放是否正确。因此选B。
