【题目】You may have learned that tipping(给小费) is expected in some Western countries, but just how to do it correctly can be a bit confusing. In fact, incorrect tipping is the No 1 most common mistake travelers make. One well-known joke reflects this.

The joke goes that four people were travelling together. They were sitting around a table in a restaurant in US. How much do you think each of them tipped?

The man from the UK asked, “It is customary to tip 10 percent in US, right? ” The woman from the France answered, “No way! I’m not leaving10 percent! The service was so terrible. ”The man from China asked, “What’s a tip?” And the woman from the US cried, “Whoa, I am planning to tip 20 percent!”

Americans think it is the most natural thing in the world to pay for a service. Here are some comments on US tipping etiquette (礼节).

Mark Styles, Ohio, US

As the mother of a one-time server (who was paid $2.35/hr by the restaurant), I think tipping is just sharing a bit. Some of these servers are working their way through grad(毕业)school. Others are trying to put food on the table for their kids.

Dana, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA

I felt strange in south-east Asia not tipping, it felt like saying to someone that I didn't really value their time or work. Then again, they probably all got paid enough to live on their wages alone. That simply is not true for a large part of service jobs in the US.

Here are a few tips for tipping while you are travelling in the US. First, take a look at the chart below.

Also, remember that your action is more important than your money. Always treat service providers with respect.

A. France B. America C. UK D. south-east Asian countries

2You stay in a hotel in America for five nights. How much should you tip the hotel housekeeper ?

【题目】Cat cafes to open in Toronto and Montreal

THESTAR,TORONTO

Soon, people in Toronto may be able to enjoy a hot chocolate or a coffee in a "cat cafe". Two groups of people in the city are trying to raise enough money to open cat cafes.

The idea is simple: a cafe for humans一with lots of cats around. People will be able to pet the cats while they're sipping their coffee. There are already cat cafes in places like England, France and in Asia like in Japan, South Korea and China.

Jennifer Morozowich plans to open her Kitty Cat Cafe in September. She told The Toronto Star that it will have six to fifteen cats. Morozowich is a cat lover who says that cats help to reduce people's pressure(压力).She is also planning to hold special "Litter-ature" events, with the Dundas West Animal Hospital, at her cafe, with kids reading to the cats.

Some experts(专家)say that reading to animals helps kids learn to read better because animals enjoy hearing the human voice and kids don’t have to feel worried about making mistakes while they're reading.

Another cat cafe, Pet Me Meow, will be open in autumn if Ashkan Rahimi and Jeff Ro have their way. They are trying to raise money to open a place where cats will live, and[people can come in and buy a coffee and hang out with the cats.

Both sets of possible tale owners will have to make sure their cafes are very clean. The City of Toronto has many rules that people have to follow who want to serve food to humans when there are animals nearby. For example, the animal boxes need to be in a separate space away from the eating area.

The cafe owners will get the cats from rescue shelters(救护所).If the coffee drinkers fall in love with a certain cat, they may be able to take it home.

The Toronto cat rates won't be Canada's first. Happy Cat Cafe, is opening in July in Montreal.

【1】The underlined word "sipping" in the second paragraph probably means“ ”·

A. selling B. getting C. drinking D. making

2According to the passage, Jennifer Morozowich

A. is a star from Toronto B. likes cats very much

C. has a cat cafe now D. lives under much pressure

3We can learn from the passage that

A. reading to cats may help kids make fewer mistakes

B. the cat cafes have to give food to animals nearby

C. people mustn't take the cats of the cat cafes home

D. Canada will probably have three cat cafes this year

【4】The passage might be

C. a meeting notice D. a pet advertisement

【题目】D

Do you and your friends ever talk about your dreams with each other? If you do, you might have noticed something interesting – some of your friends seldom remember their dreams, but some can always describe their dreams so clearly that it seems like they’re describing things that really happened to them. What makes those people different?

The answer is simple. There are two different types of dreamers – low dream recallers(回忆者)and high dream recallers.

Low dream recallers usually remember their dreams only twice a month. But high dream recallers are able to remember them about five mornings a week. And a new study suggests that activity in a certain part of the brain could have something to do with it, reported The Huffington Post.

Perrine Ruby, a French researcher at the Lyon Neuroscience Research Center, studied 41 people (21 high dream recallers and 20 low dream recallers) and recorded their brain activity.

She found that a part of the brain called the temporo-parietal junction (颞顶联合区) was more active in high dream recallers than in low dream recallers – both when they were sleeping and awake.

This brain area collects and processes(编程)information from the outside world. This means that high dream recallers know more about what’s happening around them. For example, when they are awake, they respond (对……有反应) more strongly to hearing their own names, and when they are sleeping, they are woken more easily by sounds and movements.

By closely studying people’s brain activities, Ruby found that high dream recallers have twice as much “wakefulness time” during sleep as low dream recallers do. And it is during these short times of wakefulness that the brain remembers dreams.

“The sleeping brain is not able to remember new information,” Ruby told The Washington Post. “It needs to wake up to be able to do that.”

This is not hard to understand. Just try to think of your own sleeping experiences. If you are worried during the night, you are more likely to remember your dreams, but if you sleep well, you will remember little in the morning, and this is because “you never get a chance to remember”, Robert Stickgold, a Harvard Medical School researcher, told The Washington Post.

1According to the article, high dream recallers ______.

A. have very little brain activity during sleep

B. can remember their dreams clearly

C. don’t know how to describe their dreams

D. remember their dreams twice a week

2Compared to high dream recallers, low dream recallers ______.

A. have higher sleep quality

B. have more sleepless nights

C. are more easily woken at night

D. respond faster when hearing their names

3What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?

A. To show the advantages of being a low dream recaller.

B. To suggest what to do to become a low dream recaller.

C. To make readers interested in future studies.

D. To further explain Ruby’s research.
