     In the US and many other countries. Tipping (给小费) is a way of saying thank-you to someone for his
good service. Who do you tip? And how much? Below are some tips (提示) for travelers in the US.
     1. Taxi drivers: $2 to $3; you give more if he helps you with your bags.
     2. Porters (搬运工): A standard tip (标准的小费) for porters is $1 each bag; more if your suitcases are
        very heavy.
     3. Hotel bellboy (青年侍者): Again, $1 for each bag. Tip him when he shows you to your room.
     4. Doorman (看门人): A $1 tip for calling a taxi. However, you may tip more for special service, such
         as shielding (挡住) you with an umbrella in the rain. You don't have to give the doorman anything just
        for opening the door or greeting you.
     5. Hotel maid (女佣): If you stay for more than one night, $1 each night is standard.
     6. Waiters and waitresses: 15-20% of your pre-tax (税前的) bill. In restaurants and bars in the US and
          Canada, 15% is the standard tip.
     7. Tour guides (导游): If a tip is not included in your bill, tip $1 for half-day tour, $2 for a one-day tour,
         and anywhere from $5 to $10 for a week-long tour.
     Now, it's sad to say that people have to give tips, even though the service is not good at all. So if you go
to the US, remember to carry a lot of change (零钱) for tips.

High in the mountains, and deep in the forest, lives a lake with many plants and animals in and around her. The plants and animals have enough food and clean water to keep them healthy. The wind carries pure air, and the rain comes down clear and clean.

But recently, Lucy Lake and her friends haven’t been feeling very well. All the plants and animals get together to talk about the problem. “Why are we sick?” “What can we do?” ask all of them. No one has any answers.

Just then two hikers appear. The animals tell them about their problems. “Can you help us?” they ask. “Yes,” one hiker says. “I think it’s because of acid rain.”

“Acid rain comes from chemicals(化学物质) in the air. The pollution comes from factories, cars and trucks.”

“So, although I don’t want to, I help the pollution travel through the air!” says the wind. “And I carry it to the land!” cries the rain.

“If you can help us think of some solutions(解决方法), we will send a message to tell people how to clean up our environment,” one hiker says.

With the help of the plants and animals, the two hikers make a list of ideas for saving Lucy Lake and her friends.

Time passes, and the forest and lake begin to feel a little better.

The next time the hikers climb up the mountains to Lucy Lake, they smile at what they find. “We’re glad things have started to change,” one hiker says. “And we’re glad you helped us make a difference,” says the other.
