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
I’d like to share a little story with you about something that happened when I was four. I remember it clearly. Our loving family dog was nearing the end of his life. My father picked him up and put him in a little bed we had made for him. Our dog, my companion, whom we had cared for, bit my father when he attempted to help him. How could he? Why? I couldn’t understand it. I didn’t like him anymore.
I hadn’t thought about that story for a long time but something that happened last week brought it back to me. I went to speak with a friend. When I knocked on the door, I met in an instant an angry look and a few harsh(尖刻的)words. When the door was slammed(砰地关上)in my face, I stood there shocked, and in a rush, I was reminded of my dog bit my father 20 years ago or so. What brought that story back was that same feeling of betrayal.
Both stories taught me something the next day. You see, when I got up in the morning and was told my dog had died, it became clear to me that he must have been in great pain. For him to have bitten a family member, he could not have been himself. Much the same for the other story when I learned that my friend’s wife had just left him.
We are all beings of our environments, our opinions and feelings. And all of those things can cause you to say and do things that can’t be understood by those who are not in the same situation with you.
If you meet someone either behaving out of character or acting in a way that doesn’t seem to fit the situation, put out your hand and be patient when you think it is least possible for him to do so. You may turn around a story that has a sad ending simply by your actions.
1、What is the influence of the incident mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A．It hurt his father’s feeling deeply. B．It has puzzled the author ever since.
C．It left a deep impression on the author. D．It made the author dislike dogs.
2、Why did the author’s friend say harsh words to the author?
A．He was ill-tempered.
B．He was suffering the pain of losing his wife.
C．He was bothered by an unexpected visit.
D．They once quarreled and he couldn’t forgive the author.
3、What’s the author’s advice to us?
A．Help those in need. B．Look before you leap.
C．Respect for others is a kind of virtue. D．Learn to put yourself in others’ shoes.

Dear Betty,
How time flies! I’ve been in Britain for nearly three months. And I’ve met with some trouble either in life and study recently. I’m writing to you for help.
First of all, I’m feeling exhausting and lonely. I am a totally stranger here. Beside, the western diet doesn’t agree for me at all! To make matters worse, I still found it hard to follow the native speakers though I have exposed to English for nine years. Meanwhile, I am afraid to answer questions in class for the lack of confidence. I wonder how to deal with the problems. I’d appreciate it that you could be so kind to give me some useful advices.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
