题目内容
18.Restaurants do not include a service charge in the bill,so you should tip(付小费) the waiter 15% of the total bill.If service is slow or particularly bad,some Americans will tip only 10%.If service is particularly good,it is appropriate to tip 20%.If service is so bad that you will never eat in the restaurant again,leave two cents.This is a deliberate insult(羞辱),because it tells the waiter that you don't forget to leave a tip.Tipping is only appropriate in restaurants which offer table service.You do not tip the cashier in a fast food restaurant.Taxi drivers expect to get a tip equal to 15% of the total fare.If the driver is especially helpful or has got you to your destination more quickly than expected,give a 20% tip.
Hotel bellboys expect a﹩1 tip for helping you with your bags.If you order room service,the tip is included in the bill.Coat checkroom attendants expect﹩1 per coat.Hairdressers and barbers expect a tip of 15% of the bill.Parking attendants expect a﹩1 tip.
Federal regulations prohibit letter carriers from accepting cash gifts in any amount,or gifts worth﹩20 or more from customers.
If you are in doubt,ask whether it is appropriate to tip or whether a tip is included in the bill.
Bribery(贿赂) is not considered appropriate and often illegal.Attempting to bribe a policeman will certainly get you arrested.

分析 本文主要告诉我们如何给小费,在一些国家餐馆账单是不包含服务员的服务费的,因此需要客人按照总价的15%来付服务员小费.
解答 64.B 推理判断题.根据最后一段Bribery(贿赂) is not considered appropriate and often illegal.Attempting to bribe a policeman will certainly get you arrested.可推知,警察不能收小费.
65.A 猜测词义题.根据第一段的第四句Tipping is only appropriate in restaurants which offer table service.可知,如果服务极差,你以后再也不会到这个餐馆就餐,那么你给服务生2美分,是专门为了羞辱他的.由此可知deliberate在文中表示"故意的",与intended同义.
66.A 主旨大意题.本文主要告诉我们如何给小费,因此最佳标题为:Tipping.
