A
You’re out to dinner. The food is delicious and the service is fine. You decide to leave a big fat tip. Why? The answer may not be as simple as you think.
Tipping, psychologists have found, is not just about service. Instead, studies have shown that tipping can be affected by psychological reactions to a series of different factors from the waiter’s choice of words, to how they carry themselves while taking orders, to the bill’s total. Even how much waiters remind customers of themselves can determine how much change they pocket by the end of the night.
“Studies before have shown that mimicry(模仿) brings into positive feelings for the mimicker,” wrote Rick van Baaren, a social psychology professor. “These studies show that people who are being mimicked become more generous toward the person who mimics them.”
So Rick van Baaren divided 59 waiters into two groups. He requested that half serve with a phrase such as. “ Coming up !” Those in the other hall were instructed to repeat the orders and preferences back to the customers. Rick van Baaren then compared their take-home pay. ’The results were clear—it pays to mimic your customer. The copycat(模仿者) waiters earned almost double the amount of tips to the other group.
Leonard Green and Joel Myerson, psychologists at Washington University in St. Louis, found the generosity of a tipper maybe limited by his bill. After research on the1,000 tips left for waiters, cabdrivers, hair stylists, they found tip percentages in these three areas dropped as customers’ bills went up. In fact, tip percentages appear to plateau(稳定期) when bills topped $100 and a bill for $200 made the worker gain no bigger percentage tip than a bill for $100.
“That’s also a point of tipping,” Green says. “You have to give a little extra to the cabdriver for being there to pick you up and something to the waiter for being there to serve you. If they weren’t there, you’d never get any service. So part of the idea of a tip is for just being there.”
1、How many factors affect the customers’ tipping?
A．6.
B．5.
C．4.
D．3.
2、What do the studies show?
A．Mimicry brings into very bad feelings for the mimicker.
B．The waiter who mimics people usually gets less tip that they give.
C．The mimic waiters can get more money than those who don’t mimic others.
D．Tipping can be affected by physical reactions to many different waiters.
3、What is the opinion of the author according to the passage?
A．He gives his generous tip to waiters very often.
B．He agrees with Mr Green and Rick van Baren about tipping.
C．He objects to Mr Green’s idea about tipping.
D．He thinks part of Mr Green’s explanation is reasonable.
4、What is the best title of this passage?
A．How Much to Tip
B．What Is Tip
C．Where to Leave a Big Fat Tip
D．Tipping Is Very Important

B
Microsoft has developed a new smartphone app that interprets eye signals and translates them into letters, allowing people with ALS（渐冻症）to communicate with others from a phone.
The GazeSpeak app combines a smartphone’s camera with artificial intelligence to recognize eye movements in real time and convert them into letters, words and sentences.
For people suffering from ALS also known as motor neurone（神经元）disease, eye movement can be the only way to communicate. “Current eye-tracking input systems for people with ALS or other motor disabilities are expensive, not constant under sunlight, and require frequent readjustment and considerable, relatively fixed systems,” said Xiaoyi Zhang, a researcher at Microsoft who developed the technology.
“To reduce the drawbacks…we created GazeSpeak, an eye-gesture communication system running on a smartphone, and is designed to be low-cost, constant, portable and easy to learn.”
The app is used by the listener by pointing their smartphone at the speaker. A chart stuck to the back of the smartphone is then used by the speaker to determine which eye movements to make for communication.
The label shows four grids（方格） of letters, which each correspond to a different eye movement. By looking up, down, left or right, the speaker selects which grids they want the letters belong to. The artificial intelligence algorithm（计算程序） is then able to predict the word or sentence they are trying to say.
Zhang’s research, Smartphone-Based Gaze Gesture Communication for People with Motor Disabilities, is set to be presented at the Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems in May.
1、How does the new smartphone app help people with ALS?
A．By connecting its camera with sufferers’ appearance.
B．By communicating with people directly with a camera.
C．By changing eye movements into detailed written information.
D．By looking into the eyes of the sufferers.
2、Why did the researchers develop GazeSpeak？
A．GazeSpeak will have fewer disadvantages.
B．Current systems can’t function effectively.
C．GazeSpeak can be properly used in the medical field.
D．Current systems can increase the risk of motor disabilities.
3、What can we know according the text?
A．Sufferers’ eye movements are determined by GazeSpeak.
B．Current systems are solid but costly for sufferers.
C．GazeSpeak has helped people a lot.
D．GazeSpeak hasn’t been practically on the market.
