Three people sat around a table in a restaura...

Three people sat around a table in a restaurant in Brazil. How much do you think each of (A)them tipped（给小费）?

The English man asked, "We usually tip 10 percent, right?" The American woman cried, "Oh, I plan to leave 20 percent!" And the Chinese asked, "What's a tip?"

(B)　　 it is not a tradition to tip in China, tipping is important in Western countries. When traveling to Western countries, it is common to tip about 10 t0 15 percent of the bill(账单）．

Usually, people give tips to a waiter or waitress when they eat in a restaurant. The US is the NO.1 0n the list of the biggest restaurant tips, with waiters and waitresses expecting to get 10 to 20 percent of the bill.(C) So if you order ＄100 food, it's better to tip your waiter ＄15.

But why is this? Many waiters and waitresses get paid below the US minimum wage(最低工资) and work for tips to make up for that. Hotel cleaners and taxi drivers also work for tips.

Tipping is also popular in some Southeast Asian(亚洲的) countries, such as Indonesia and Thailand. However, in Japan and Korea there is a no- tipping culture and you may probably make the waiter angry if you try to tip him.

1.(A)处“them”指代什么？______________

2.在(B)处填上适当的连词。______________

3.把(C)处划线句子翻译成汉语。______________

4.这篇文章的主题是什么？______________

One afternoon many years ago, I sat down on a bench in a park and watched a little boy, around 2 years old, running freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy would fall to the grass, get up, and without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could as if nothing had happened.

When kids fall down, they don’t think of the fall as a failure. Instead, they consider it as a learning experience. They try and try again until they succeed.

While I was touched(感动的) by the boy’s strong mind, I was also touched by the way he ran. With each attempt, he looked so confident and natural. He only wanted to run freely and to do it as well as he could. He was just being a child – just being himself – being completely in the moment. He never gave up. Each time he fell, he got himself back up again, as if he knew that falling down was simply a part of life.

He was not looking for others’ smiles, or worrying about whether someone was watching or not. He only wanted to run and to feel the experience of running fully and freely. I learned a lot from that experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in many parts in my life.

1.From Paragraph 1, we know that the boy’s mother ______.

A. was strict with him B. had a special way to educate her son

C. didn’t love her son as much as others D. was too weak to help her son get up

2.The underlined word “attempt” in Paragraph 3 may mean “______”.

A. try B. help C. support D. mistake

3.The writer was touched by the boy because the boy ______.

A. might stop running when he fell down

B. never fell down if he made up his mind to run

C. didn’t care about the fall and went on running

D. was good at running and never fell down

4.What can we learn from the story?

A. Falling down will make a person feel frightened from then on.

B. Falling down is the mother of success.

C. When others are watching, people fall down easily.

D. One will succeed if he / she is confident and never gives up.
