Tipping(給小費(fèi)) 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(工資) in the USA.

So tipping in the USA isn't just a nice thing to do, but it's pretty important to know how to tip properly.

●It's not a must.

Just so we're clear, there are no laws(法律) 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 or her.

●It is expected.

We'd certainly suggest it if you plan to use that restaurant, hotel or delivery boy again! There are lots 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 guys (or any delivery guys at any time).

●Know how much to tip.

The standard(標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的) 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(包含) in the bill, so keep an eye out for more specific instructions and information.

●Be a high?tech tipper.

You may haven't noticed that most Americans are not big fans of math. But they do love a good app, so they can use many 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.

1.In which country, tipped workers are paid much less per hour?

A.In the UK. B.In the USA.

C.In China. D.In Thailand.

2.If your cost in a hotel with great service is $100, you are expected to tip ________.

A.$10 B.$15 C.$20 D.$25

3.According to the passage, which one is TRUE about tipping in the USA?

A.The tip is never included in the bill.

B.Tipping is expected by tipped workers.

C.High?tech is the only way to work out how much the tip is.

D.There are some laws asking you to tip someone who serves you.

4.The best title for this passage is “________”.

A.How much to tip? B.How to tip properly?

C.How to be a high?tech tipper? D.How to work out the tip?

請(qǐng)認(rèn)真閱讀下列短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

When students complete a book， they consider the job of reading done. When they are asked what they have got from the book， quite a few of them can give you some information about the plot(情節(jié)). But if we ask them more detailed questions， they have nothing to say. In fact， that is not what a good reader is supposed to do.

To be a good reader， firstly， is to know the background. We need knowledge of the life story of the writer， the culture and society in which the story takes place， Otherwise， it is hardly possible for us to better understand the book or come to realize the theme.

Then， we start to read the book. A good reader will not stop since he has already made a good preparation. He goes through the whole book to get the general idea of it instead of reading_____

Next comes an important step一read the book once again and write annotations(注釋) when there is something impresses us deeply. It helps us get close to the mind of the writer. Many students underestimate(低估)the importance of writing annotations. They say that they also can understand the writer although they do not write annotations. It is true that it brings us some trouble of writing， but it also gives us a lot of ideas of our own at the same time.

Finally， a good reader needs to write a book report. It is a time when we can sum up all our thoughts and turn them into a report. We start to think of the characters， the plots and the theme. Some say it is boring but in fact it is fun if we do it. Producing something of our own is really wonderful because we are on our way to be better than a good reader.

All of us move our eyes back and forth from words to sentences to paragraphs. However， as a good reader， we learn much more from reading one book carefully than we do from reading ten roughly(粗略地)

1.What background should a good reader know before reading a book?

A.The life story of the characters.

B.The theme of the book.

C.The society where the story happens.

D.The general idea of each paragraph.

2.What does the underlined phrase "off and on" in paragraph 3 mean?

A.上上下下地 B.斷斷續(xù)續(xù)地

C.來來回回地 D.里里外外地

3.According to the passage， a good reader ·

A.can just tell the plots of a book

B.can finish reading ten books at a time

C.underestimates the importance of annotating

D.will read a book more than once

4.The passage is mainly written to ·

A.ask readers to prepare well before reading

B.encourage readers to write a book report

C.tell what a good reader is supposed to do

D.remind readers to sum up their thoughts

If you killed an animal, you would be punished(處罰).If an animal happened to get run over by a car, people would be very sad about it.
