题目内容

Tipping(给小费) is as American as apple pie. Because of that, an apple pie costs 15% more than you thought it would. In the UK, tipped workers are paid as much as non?tipped workers, but in the United States tipped workers make much less per hour. Money from tips is expected to provide a large amount of tipped workers overall wage(工资) in the USA.

So tipping in the USA isn't just a nice thing to do, but it's pretty important to know how to tip properly.

●It's not a must.

Just so we're clear, there are no laws(法律) saying you have to tip. You won't cause an international accident over a tipping problem—you may just upset the person who has been serving you if you don't tip him or her.

●It is expected.

We'd certainly suggest it if you plan to use that restaurant, hotel or delivery boy again! There are lots of things that aren't against laws but impolite. Not tipping is one of those impolite things.

●It is common.

In the USA, people are expected to tip waiters, taxi drivers, hairdressers and your I'm ?so? hungry ?pizza delivery guys (or any delivery guys at any time).

●Know how much to tip.

The standard(标准的) amount is 15%. And it's encouraged to give 20% for great service. Be generous!

For larger groups at restaurants, the tip is often included(包含) in the bill, so keep an eye out for more specific instructions and information.

●Be a high?tech tipper.

You may haven't noticed that most Americans are not big fans of math. But they do love a good app, so they can use many apps to work out how much the tip is. Anyway, you can also use the old?fashioned pencil and paper to work out the tip.

1.In which country, tipped workers are paid much less per hour?

A.In the UK. B.In the USA.

C.In China. D.In Thailand.

2.If your cost in a hotel with great service is $100, you are expected to tip ________.

A.$10 B.$15 C.$20 D.$25

3.According to the passage, which one is TRUE about tipping in the USA?

A.The tip is never included in the bill.

B.Tipping is expected by tipped workers.

C.High?tech is the only way to work out how much the tip is.

D.There are some laws asking you to tip someone who serves you.

4.The best title for this passage is “________”.

A.How much to tip? B.How to tip properly?

C.How to be a high?tech tipper? D.How to work out the tip?

When students complete a book， they consider the job of reading done. When they are asked what they have got from the book， quite a few of them can give you some information about the plot(情节).

Next comes an important step一read the book once again and write annotations(注释) when there is something impresses us deeply. It helps us get close to the mind of the writer. Many students underestimate(低估)the importance of writing annotations. They say that they also can understand the writer although they do not write annotations. It is true that it brings us some trouble of writing， but it also gives us a lot of ideas of our own at the same time.

Finally， a good reader needs to write a book report. It is a time when we can sum up all our thoughts and turn them into a report. We start to think of the characters， the plots and the theme. Some say it is boring but in fact it is fun if we do it. Producing something of our own is really wonderful because we are on our way to be better than a good reader.

All of us move our eyes back and forth from words to sentences to paragraphs. However， as a good reader， we learn much more from reading one book carefully than we do from reading ten roughly(粗略地)

Some people spend about two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food.

When you visit people's homes, they would be very glad to show you their pets. You will also find almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody can kill(杀死)any animals in Canada. They have a law(法律)against killing wild animals.
