We were crowded elbow (肘部) to elbow , listening to a 38 who looked even younger than the students . I felt oncomfortable and out of place as the professor carefully 39 what she expected us to learn . As I listened , I couldnt help but 40 of my own oldest daughter who was now beginning her first year in 41 , just like me . I remembered how hanl I had tried to help build self-confidence in her and my other children . So why did I suddenly feel like a scared 42 myself ?

A recent report said that 40% of Americans hate tipping . In America alone , tipping is a $16 billion-a-year industry .Consumers acting politely ought not to pay more than they have to for a given service . Tips should not exist . So why do they ? The common opinion in the past was that tips both rewarded the efforts of good service and reduced uncomfortable feelings of inequality . And also , tipping makes for closer relations . It went without saying that the better the service , the bigger the tip .But according to new research from Cornell University , tips no longer serves any useful function . The paper analyzes numbers they got from 2547 groups dining at 20 different restaurants . The connection between larger tips and better service was very weak . Only a tiny part of the size of the tip had anything to do with the quality of service .Tipping is better explained by culture than by the money people spend . In America , the custom came into being a long time ago . It is regarded as part of the accepted cost of a service. In New York restaurants , failing to tip at least 15% could well mean dissatisfaction from the customers . Hairdressers can expect to get 15%20% , and the man who delivers your fast food $ 2. In Europe , tipping is less common . In many restaurants the amount of tip is decided by a standard service charge . In many Asian countries , tipping has never really caught on at all . Only a few have really taken to tipping.According to Michael Lynn , the Cornell papers author , countries in which people are more social or outgoing tend to tip more . Tipping may reduce anxiety about being served by strangers . And , says , Mr . Lynn, “in America , where people are expressive and eager to mix up with others , tipping is about social approval . If you tip badly , people think less of you . “Tipping well is a chance to show off .”56This passage is mainly about . Adifferent kinds of tipping in different countries Bthe relationship between tipping and custom Cthe origin and present meaning of tipping Dmost American people hate tipping 57Which of the following best explains the underlined phrase “caught on” ?Abeen hated Bbecome popular Cbeen stopped Dbeen permitted 58Among the following situations , in your opinion , who is likely to tip most ?AA Frenchman just quarreled with the barber who did his hair badly in NY.BA Chinese student enjoyed his meal in a famous fast food restaurant in NY.CA Japanese businessman asked for a pizza delivery from a Pizza Hut in NY.DAn American just had a wonderful dinner in a well-known restaurant in NY.59We can infer from this passage that . Atipping is no longer a good way to satisfy some customers themselves Btipping has something to do with peoples character Ctipping in America can make service better now Dtipping is especially popular in New York BIt cam as something of a surprise when Diana , Princess of Wales , made a trip to Angola in 1997, to support the Red Cross campaign for a total ban on anti-personnel landmines (地雷). Within hours of arriving in Angola , television screens around the world were filled with images of her comforting victims (受害者) injured in accidents caused by landmines . “I knew the huge numbers ,” she said . “But putting a face to those figures brought the reality home to me ; like when I met Sandra , a 13-year-old girl who had lost her leg , and people like her .” The Princess concluded with a simple message : “We must stop landmines”. And she used every opportunity during her visit to repeat this message .But , back in London , her views wee not shared by some members of the British government , which refused to support a ban on these weapons . Angry politicians started an attack on the Princess in the press ，They described her as “very ill-informed” . The Princess responded by brushing aside the eriticismas: “This is a prevention we do not need . All Im trying to do is to help.” Opposition parties , the media and the public immediately voiced their support for the Princess . To make matters worse for the government , it soon appeared that the Princess trip bad been approved by the Foreign Office , and that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British governments policy regarding landrnines . the result was a sever blow on the government .To try and limit the damage , the Foreign Secretary Malcolm Rifkidnd , said that the Princess views on landmines were not very different from the governments policy , and that it was “working towards” a worldwide ban . The defence secretary , Michael Portillo declared the matter was “a misunderstanding”. For the Princess , the trip to this war-torn country was an excellent opportunity to use her popularity to show the world hw much destruction and suffering landmines can cause . She said that the experience had also given her the chance to get closer to people and their problems .60Princess Diana paid a visit to Angola in 1997 .Ato explain the British governments stand on landmines Bto show off her image as a friend of landmine victims Cto look into the suffering of landmine victims there Dto voice her support for a total ban of landmines 61What did Diana mean when she said “putting a face to those figures brought he reality home to me” (Line 5, Para , 1)?ASeeing the pain of the victims , she realized the seriousness of the situation .BMeeting the landmine victims in person made her believe the statistics .CThe actual situation in Angola made her feel like going back home .DShe just couldnt bear to meet the landmine victims face to face .62Some members of the British government criticized Diana because .Ashe was ill-informed of the governments policy Bthey were actually opposed to banning landmines Cshe had not informed the government before the visit Dthey believed that she had misunderstood the situation in Angola 63What did Princess Diana think of her visit to Angola ? AIt had greatly helped her gain more popularity .BIt had brought her closer t the ordinary people .CIt had caused disappointuent to the British government DIt had affected her relations with the British government .CIf youre training for a marathon , a proper plan for water intake (摄入) is important . Of course , theres the risk of dehydration (脱水) . But athletes now know they can also get into trouble by drinking to much . To much water intake can lower levels of sodium (钠) in the blood . The death of a 28-year-old woman following the Boston Marathon caught the attention of many runners and led to new research .Experts advise long distance runners to replace the liquids they sweat out . Their goal is to try to keep someone from not getting dehydrated by more than 2 percent of their body weight .One techniqe for deciding how much water you need is to get the exact numbers . Runners have to weight themselves before and after a run to determine how much water theyve lost . If their weight drops by more than 2 percent , they have not drunk enough water.Hyponatremia occurs when runners drink so much water that blood salt levels drop off . A study published last year tested 488 runners who completed the Boston Marathon and found 13 percent of them had dangerously low blood salt levels . The first sign that runners may notice is slightly swelling in the hands . They cant get their rings off , and then they might feel sick . They may not remember where they are . In fact , most runners get enough salt to get back to normal levels by eating just one meal after a run . Contrary to the old advice that runners should drink as much as they can to prevent dehydration , the new research has shown that the body is a remarkable machine that actually tells you via thirst when you need water .64The author of this passage is primarily concerned with .Athe signs and treatment for dehydration Bthe long distance runners who need help Chow to manage water intake during a marathon Da 28-year-old woman who died after a Boston Marathon 65Why do runners have to weigh themselves before and after a run ?AThey can improve their performance in a run .BThey can learn how much salt there is in the blood .CThey ca know the quantity of water theyve lost during a run .DThey can decide what kind of water they should take during a run .66What conclusion can we draw from the passage ?ATaking much salt during a run can avoid selling in the body .BEither too much or to little of water intake is harmful .CA rich meal is helpful to our performance in a run .DWe should take enough salt during a run .67According the passage, which of the following statements is correct ?AToo much water intakeblood sodium levels dehydration .BToo much water intakeblood salt levels hyponatremia .CNo water intakeblood sodium levelshyponatremia .DNo water intake blood salt levels hyponatrenmia .DStratford on-Avon , as we all know , has only one industryWilliam Shakespearebut there are two clearly separate and different branches . There is the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC), which presents excellent productions of the plays at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre on the Avon . And there are townsfolk who largely live on the tourists who come , not to see the play , but to look at Anne Hathaways Cottage , Shakespeares birthplace and the other sights .The townsfolk of Stratford doubt that the theatre adds a penny to their income . They frankly dislike the RSC actors , those who walk with Jong hair and beard and great noise .The tourist stream are not entirely separate . The sightseers , who come by bus and often take in Warwick on the side , dont usually see the plays . And some of them are even surprised to find a theatre in Stratford . However , the playgoers do manage a little sight-seeing along with their play-going . It is the playgoers , the RSC declares , who bring in much of the towns income because they spend the night (some of them four or five nights ) pouring money into hotels and restaurants . The sightseers can take in everything and get out of town by nightfall .The townsfolk dont see it this way and local government does not put away some money for the RSC. Stratford cries poor traditionally . Nevertheless, every hotel in town seems to be adding a new wing or a cocktail room . Hilton is building its own hotel there , which you will be sure will be decorated with Hamburger bars , dinner rooms ad so forth , and will be very expensive .Anyway
