               A ★★★☆☆

    “Everyone finds a partner,” I say to the kids. We are about to start 8th grade weight training. I say the words to make the kids feel welcome when they come in. When the 8th graders walk in the door,I see the nervousness in their eyes. When I see them,I remember rnyseif years ago when I was doing the same thing.

    I remember coming to Granger High School for 8th grade lifting. I felt nervous coming in thinking I would get lost. I also felt nervous to meet the coach. I did not feel welcome because everyone was bigger tiian me. I did not want to mess up (搞糟) and get laughed at by other people.

    The second time I went there was a lot better than the first time. I was not afraid to walk into the room and see all the big people. I thought to myself, “If other kids can do it,then I can do it." I went to my partner and felt a little bit more confident. I was still nervous but I felt better. As hard as I tried not to mess up,it happened. Then a voice said, “Good job,you are getting better." I started to feel better hearing people saying “good job”, instead of “get out”.

    When I come back to reality,I realize that the kid in front of me is just like me then. When he has finished his warm-up,I tell him “Good job,man,you are getting better." Once I start encouraging him,he starts to feel better. I also feel good about myself for being able to help him feel more confident. I can hear the students praising one another.

Last week our class voted what to do for our class outing：visit the Singapore Zoo or go to the Night Safari (夜间动物园) .Our girls wanted to go to the zoo. And since we were in the minority,we lose to the boys,who all wanted to go to the safari. We got the admission rate for students,which was greatly since I still had enough money to buy a brochure about the park as well as anything at the souvenir shops. The safari was scary but a really fun. As we took the ride through the park's dark jungle,we could see the eye of many creatures looked out at us. Most of the animals there sleep when there is sunlight and waked up at night.

    American restaurants have been talking about abolishing tipping for years. Now a major New York City restaurant group has announced a no-tip policy. The debate is starting to boil.

    When Danny Meyer,the boss of the restaurant group,talks,people listen. He's been right before. When he (禁止) smoking at Union Square Cafe,he was told he’d go out of business. However,his business improved. Ten years later,smoking in restaurants was against the law. Starting in November 2015,tipping began to be abolished at his 13 restaurants,the first major restaurant group to do this. It's been all over the news and everyone has an opinion. “Why not earlier?” some say. “Americans will not,” others insist.It’s clear that tipping is just the tip of the iceberg (冰山) .Beneath the surface are questions of pay fairness,labor law and rising costs. Tipping was borrowed from Europe more than a century ago and has been abolished there. But here,it's a deep-rooted American cultural practice.

    Usually,servers know there’s a higher chance that they’11 get a bigger tip on a bigger check,so they may push for more expensive items on the menu. Or they may rush customers out quickly to make room for new diners (and more tips!) . Basically,they may adjust accordingly to serve only the people they think will be the best tippers. Therefore,it is bad for customers.

    Besides,many servers puKtips together,so your reward is shared. Tips provide  large part of their income. But that money can't be shared legally with the un-tipped,low-paid kitchen workers. No wonder there's a growing labor shortage in restaurant kitchens. Meyer tried to abolish tipping 20 years ago,but the waiters disagreed. Is the time right now? The dining world will listen and watch.

5. We can learn from Danny Meyer’s story that

   A. people suggested he run more restaurants

   B. his ban on smoking succeeded beyond expectations

    C. his business failed because of his ban on smoking   

    D. he was threaten to shut his business

6. According to Paragraph 3 ,tipping .

   A. is quite popular in Europe

   B. is against labor law in America 

    C. spreads from Europe to America

   D. is disliked by most people in America

7. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?

   A. How customers tip.

   B. What servers do to get tips,

    C. How tipping came about.

   D. What customers think of tips.

8. Why are kitchen workers in short supply?

   A. They can't get tips.

.   B. Their income isn’t fixed,

    C.They can't see customers.

   D. Their work is very boring.
