China’s first ever "ice bar" landed in Shanghai. About 45 tons of ice was used to build and decorate this bar. It traveled some 30,000 km from the Torne River in Sweden, which lies 200 km inside the Arctic Circle. The bar measures 100 sq meters and is able to accommodate 60 customers at a time. All of the walls, chairs, tables, lights and even glasses are made of ice. The bar, which puts the emphasis on creativity and design, is a fresh and exciting contribution to the city. The bar is sponsored by Swedish vodka1 manufacturer Absolut, which has six other similar bars in other parts of the world. All Absolut ice bars only use ice from the Torne River in North Sweden, because it is natural and therefore very clean and pure. The temperature inside the bar is maintained at about -5℃. Customers are given an Eskimo- style poncho(披风,斗篷) to keep them warm, but they are advised to stay for no more than 45 minutes at a time. The whole look of the bar is inspired by the Arctic landscape, including the use of sculptures of polar animals. The decor is refreshed every six months. About 90 percent of the ice needs to be taken from Sweden and shipped to Shanghai. Developed by Sweden’s Ice-hotel Company, the first ice bar was completed in the Swedish city of Jukkasjarvi in 1994. Others later opened in Stockholm, Milan, London, Tokyo and Copenhagen. 1 translate the underlined sentence: 2 Make your comment on the news: (1) I think it is , because we can in China.

When our friends get into trouble, we should try to help them out if we can manage to do so. However, if it’s something beyond our capability, what should we do? How can we say "no" in a soft and proper way? First, we should explain to them clearly why we have to turn their requests down and at the same time apologize for being unable to help. Second, try to avoid using ambiguous words that may cause misunderstanding. We’d better make it clear whether we can help or not. And one thing is very important: We should express ourselves in a polite and sincere way and make our friends understand that we have tried our best.

I have eaten in your restaurant many times and have always been happy with the food and service．This makes what happened last Saturday even more disappointing．
It was my son’s birthday so we booked a no-smoking table at your restaurant for 7∶30 p. m．We arrived on time but were told that our table was not yet ready．At 8∶00 p. m., we were given a table in the smoking section．I asked to move but I was told that there were no other tables．A lot of people were smoking so it was uncomfortable and unhealthy．
Our first waitress, Janet, was very polite and helpful．She gave us free drinks for waiting so long．Our food also came quickly and looked fresh and tasty．When my wife had eaten most of her meal, she found a dead cockroach(蟑螂)in her vegetables．She was shocked and wanted to leave．At first, the waitress told us it was a piece of garlic．When we told her that garlic does not have legs, she apologized and took the food away．
We asked for the bill, expecting not to pay for my wife’s meal．Nobody came．After 15 minutes, I asked to see the manager．The head waiter told us that you were on holiday．I complained again about the horrible cockroach．He told me Janet had finished work．He didn’t believe my story and gave me a bill for three meals．I argued with him but was forced to pay．
The waitress, Janet, was always friendly, but I would like an apology from your impolite head waiter and a full refund for our meal．It cost ＄ 68．Until then, I will not be eating at your restaurant or recommending it to anyone．
You can contact me at 742-3254 or through e-mail if you want more information．
Thank you for your attention．
Yours sincerely,
Raymond Yuen

Sir, I was halfway through Professor Raj Persaud’s article “What’s the tipping point”(Financial Times Weekend, April 9-10)when it occurred to me that what I was reading was not ironic(讽刺的)．If Prof Persaud wants to know why Americans tip in restaurants, he needs only to ask the first American he meets in London．
Americans tip in restaurants for one reason, and one reason only：we tip to supplement(补贴)the salary of restaurant workers．Quality of service does not enter into it, beyond the fact that one may tip a bit less for poor service, or a little more for good service．Not tipping at all in a non-fast-food restaurant is not a choice．In the US, one used to tip about 15 per cent for dining in a family-style restaurant or in an up-market(高档的)restaurant．Here, in San Francisco Bay area restaurants, we are encouraged to tip 20 per cent or more, to help restaurant workers live in this very expensive area．
After eating at an Italian restaurant in my city, I left a tip of 20 per cent on the non-tax part of our dinner bill．It was expected．There is nothing more complicated(复杂的)than that about Americans tipping in restaurants．
Ward Hoffman, Palo Alto, CA 94306, US
***
From Mr．Philip McBride Johnson．
Sir, I agree with most of Raj Persaud’s opinion about the doubtful value of tipping, but with one exception(例外)．Tips can be very useful when one is a repeat customer or diner．It is only when the tipper is a stranger and likely to remain so that the system does not work to his or her advantage．But frequent a hotel or a restaurant, always tip a bit more, and the difference in service and treatment will be easily felt．
Philip McBride Johnson, Great Falls, VA 22066, US

D．
How to tip in the United States is not complicated．
