16．Most buildings are built to stand up straight，but these look as if they might fall over!
The church tower of Suurhusen
Built in 1450，the 27-metre-high church tower lies in Suurhusen，Germany．It was built in wet land on foundations of oak tree trunks（树干）．When the land was drained（排水） later，the wood broke down，causing one side of the tower to be a little lower than the other．In 1975，the tower became a real hazard and people were not allowed to enter until the foundations were made strong again．The lean （倾斜） of the tower is now about five degrees．
The Leaning Tower of Pisa
The work of building the tower began in 1173，and was finally completed in 1372．In fact，it began to lean after just a couple of floors were built．And this condition continued in the centuries after its completion．The tower was finally closed to the public in 1990after people failed to stabilize （使稳固） its foundations．In 2001，it was reopened after engineers removed soil from underneath its raised side．Now it leans just an angle of 3.97degrees．
Capital Gate of Abu Dhabi
Completed in 2011，the Capital Gate tower in Abu Dhabi was designed to lean eighteen degrees．The building stands next to the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre and contains，among other things，a fine hotel with wonderful views of the harbor．Also known as the leaning tower of Abu Dhabi，the tower is one of the tallest buildings in the city．
Big Ben of London
The building leans 0.26 degrees to the northwest．This was mainly caused by the engineering projects （项目） that have been carried out in the ground below it since the late 1800s．The tower，which has been continuously open since it was completed in 1858，has nowhere near the lean of the Tower of Pisa and is still completely safe to enter．

8．Remember to tip when in the US
In the US，giving a little extra money to service workers is a common practice．Though US national law requires that businesses pay workers at least﹩7.25per hour，employees （33）receiving （receive） tips---often waiters and waitresses---are the exceptions．They usually only receive at least﹩2.13an hour，and tips make up the differences．As the Wall Street Journal put it，"The American system of tipping holds the promise of great rewards for waiting staff．"
So how （34）should you tip if you are in the US？
Normally you pay tips as a percentage of the bill．（35）Offering（offer） an extra 15percent of the bill to the waiter or waitress in a restaurant and to the delivery man or woman is customary and expected．You can offer more for great service and less for poor service．
Yet there is （36）an exception．For take-out food，you don't have to provide tips，though some people say that filling an order still requires work and time that deserve a little extra-but maybe a little less．
Tips are not expected at fast food restaurants，pizza parlors，cafes or ice scream shops either，though a tip jar might be right by the cash register （收银机）．Don't feel （37）obligated（obligate） to throw some money in，but also remember that it doesn't hurt．Those workers don't rely on tips．
Other service workers also receive tips．For taxi drivers，15% is the norm，（38）more （much） if they help with your bags．Hairdressers often receive about 15% of the bill．The same （39）goes（go） for spa therapists （水疗师）and tour guides．
Though thinking about when to tip and how much you should tip causes a big headache for many Chinese people，it's important to bear in mind that （40）so long as/on condition that you show respect and use your reasoning，things will be just fine．
