【题目】 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.

1Taxi 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.

3Hotel 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 dont 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, its 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.

【题目】Dear Victor:

I am a college student. Nowadays games on the net are very popular with college students. Some of my roommates are very interested in them. They not only play games in their free time, but also keep talking about them at night when lights are off, and they regard games as part of life. I’ve begged(乞求) them to give it up, but they wouldn’t listen to me. It has become a rather big problem. Should I report it to our teachers or do something else?

Ted

Dear Ted:

Drop it. Your roommates, as grown-ups, can do whatever they want with their time so long as it doesn’t break school rules or violate(防碍) other people’s interests. Playing perhaps gives these students relaxation(放松) from hard study. If they play too often, have little time to study, and they will reap what they have sown, but you will not. Reporting to the teachers would only harm your good name in your dormitory(宿舍). However you have rights to ask your roommates to be quiet when you need sleep. If they aren’t angry with you, they will stop talking. But be polite and friendly. Perhaps, in return, join them in a game or two.
