Tipping(给小费) 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 nontipped 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(工资) 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(标准的) 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 hightech 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 oldfashioned 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.Hightech 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 hightech tipper? D.How to work out the tip?

Many Chinese mothers are afraid that their children will fall behind their classmates, so these mothers are becoming "tiger mothers". They believe the harder their children study, the happier life they will have in the future. Is it true? Lulu and her sister Sophia may have a say.
Lulu and Sophia have a "tiger mother". She pushed them a lot when they were young. For example, they were not allowed to get grades lower than A. They had to practice the piano or violin for several hours a day. There were no games or TV.
