When I worked as a waitress in Chicago, US, my coworkers  and I would groan (嘆 息) whenever we heard someone with a foreign accent coming into our restaurant. We knew

what it meant to serve a non–American: no tip. We would work just as hard as we always did,

but we might not get paid.

    Americans have an unspoken rule about tipping: they give tips to almost everyone who

offers them a service of some kind. Americans tip their waiters, barbers and taxi drivers. An appropriate (合適的) tip is between 15 and 20 percent of the amount charged for the service, but the charge for the tip doesn’t appear on the bill. The customer is expected to add it on himself/herself.

So if you order $100 worth of food, you are expected to pay your waiter at least $15, making your total payment $115. Tipping less than this sends a message to your waiter that you think they’ve done a bad job serving you. And to leave no tip at all is simply unacceptable.

    It’s not that American waiters are greedy. In many countries, waiters are paid a salary for their work. They’ll earn money even if no one comes into the restaurant. This system offers much more safety for waiters than the American version. In the US, waiters know that a night without customers means a night without pay.

    Some countries include a tip for waiters – a “service charge” – on the bill itself. Since the tip is included with the other charges, waiters don’t need to worry about people forgetting to tip. But in the US, waiters do not receive a salary, and service charges only appear on bills when there are six or more customers at the table.

    Since almost all American customers are familiar with the system, they know to add a tip without being told. But visitors to the US may expect waiters to be paid a salary, or think that the tip is included on the bill. So as much as we waiters loved hearing stories about other places from our foreign customers, we were always nervous when they got ready to leave the restaurant. We were never sure what to expect.

Why would the author and her coworkers groan when they had to serve a non-American?

   A. They would have difficulty understanding the customer.

   B. They had to work harder to get tips from the customer.

   C. They might not get any payment from the customer.

   D. They thought a non-American customer would be hard to please.

If you order $550 worth of food, you are supposed to pay your waiter at least ______.

   A. $55    B. $82.5     C. $100     D.$110

Why would it be thought unacceptable not to tip a waiter in the US?

   A. They enjoy getting tips from their customers.

   B. They work harder than waiters in other countries.

   C. They are greedier than waiters in other countries.

   D. They earn most of their money from diners’ tips.

科目：高中英語 來源：20102011學(xué)年廣東省高二下學(xué)期期末英語綜合測試題（一） 題型：書面表達(dá)

閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。

    We spend hours, days and years of our lives in education. But how perfect do you think your school is? Imagine you could decide your ideal school. What would it be like? What would you be doing? We wanted to find out what teenagers around the world thought. Here is what they said.

Sonia from Italy: I’d like a room where we can go and relax and play computer games and chat with friends. Some older pupils in the school have this but I think there should be a place for everyone to go when they want to switch off from the lessons.

Richard form USA: I think it would be great to have a day off every week, as well as the weekend. If that day was a Friday or a Monday, we would have a long weekend every week. I’m sure we could learn just as much in fewer hours.

David from UK: The school dinners are absolutely disgusting. There is a little shop called a “tuck shop” which we can go to in our breaks but it just sells rubbish. I’d like to be able to buy fruit and healthy snacks.

Hannah from Australia: My school environment is great – especially the sports facilities. We’ve got a swimming pool and tennis court. It’s teachers I’d change. I think they should give us more freedom and choice about how we study and what we study. I also think it’s ridiculous that we have to wear a school uniform.

Sam form Mexico: I’d like clean toilets and showers, a big library, big lockers and a restaurant. Not much to ask for.
