题目内容
6.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.●It's not a must.
Just so we're clear,there are no laws 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/her.
●It is expected.
We'd certainly suggest it if you plan to use that restaurant,hotel or delivery boy again!
There are plenty 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 guy (or any delivery guy at any time).
●Know how much to tip.
The standard 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 in the bill,so keep an eye out for more specific instructions and information.
●Be a high-tech tipper
You may haven't noticed,most Americans are not big fans of math.But they do love a good app,so they can use plenty of 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.

分析 在英国,得到小费的工人与没有得到小费的工人的工资是一样的,但是在美国,有小费的人的小时工资要低很多,来自小费的钱可能会在美国提供大量的工资.给小费在美国不仅是一件好事,而且很重要.
并不是一定要给小费:这里没有法律规定说你必须要给小费,你给不给小费只会影响给你提供服务的人的心情.
是很必要的:不给小费是不礼貌行为之一.
是很普遍的:在美国,人们会给服务员、出租车司机、理发师等小费.
知道给多少小费:普通标准是15%;
做一个高科技的给小费的人:美国人并不擅长数学,因此他们会安一些应用软件,用这些软件来计算自己应该给多少小费.
解答 38.C.细节理解题.根据第一段的描述,给小费是美国的特色,而英国给不给小费工人的工资没有影响,因此这里就是说不同的国家对待小费的态度不一样,也就是文化的差异,所以这篇文章说的是文化,因此这篇文章最有可能刊登在杂志中的文化板块,因此这里选择的是C.culture
39.B.推理判断题.根据For larger groups at restaurants,the tip is often included in the bill,可知,不过,要是一大群人在餐厅吃饭,账单有可能直接包含小费,因此这里是often,并不是always,一个是经常,一个是总是,因此A错误;根据文中的第二个小标题It is expected.可知,给小费是很必要的,因此B选项正确;根据Anyway,you can also use the old-fashioned pencil and paper to work out the tip.可知,除了使用高科技计算小费额度外,你还可以走守旧路线,用铅笔在餐巾上打草稿算算数,因此C错误;根据Just so we're clear,there are no laws saying you have to tip.可知,法律没有规定你一定要给小费,因此D错误;故选B
40.D.细节理解题.根据And it's encouraged to give 20% for great service.可知,如果服务特别好的话,也可以给20%以上作为奖励,而现在题目中的问题是如果你在一个旅馆消费了200,且已经说明这次服务是excellent,也就是非常棒的,因此这里你应该给20%的消费,即200×20%=40;
41.B.细节理解题.根据文中的内容,主要就是介绍在美国如何给小费,因此该题的答案是B.How to tip properly.
点评 本文是一篇关于消费的文章.涉及到的是美国的文化.做题时要在理解好文意的基础上,与题目有机的结合,从文章中找到相关细节性的句子与选项细细比对,进行选择或推理判断,选出符合文章内容的正确选项.做题注意灵活,有时可采用排除法或直选法确定出最终答案.
