二、阅读理解

Passage One:

We were sorry that we had to ask the young man to leave the job. It was not that he was unpopular with the other people in the office. Everyone liked him. Nor was it that he was incapable. He has plenty of abilities. The problem was that so much of his work was unsatisfactory: it wasn’t good enough. Sometimes he would leave a job unfinished, and never come back to complete it. Other times his writing would be so illegible that you couldn’t read it. Or he might disappear from the office for an hour or so with no explanation of where he had been. Once or twice he sat unoccupied(不做事)for a while, doing nothing at all, until someone noticed him and gave him some work. I supposed he felt that we had mistreated him, that we had not been fair to him. But I didn’t think we have misjudged him .We didn’t make up our minds until we had given him every chance to show what he could do. However, I confessed that it made me uncomfortable to have to tell him that he had lost his job. A person sent to us by an employment agency(职业介绍所)would replace him the next week.

Passage Two

Americans are big tippers(给小费者). Generally the custom is more common in a large city than in a small town. Customers are expected to give a tip, or small amount of money, whenever services are performed. A tip is expected by the porter who carries your baggage, by taxi drivers(in the case, 15 percent of the fare)and by those who serve you in hotels and restaurants. For example, in hotels it is customary to give a tip to the porter who carries your suitcase and shows you to your room. In this case, 50cents for each bag is satisfactory: in restaurants you generally leave about 15 percent of the bill on the table as a tip for the person who has served you.

There are two common explanations for the origin of tipping. The oxford English Dictionary says tip is seventeenth century underworld slang for “give”—as in the threat “tip me your wallet or your life”. Opponents(反对者)of tipping will probably prefer this explanation and they argue that tipping suggests the practice that is originally a form of theft or robbery. The second explanation which is still less reputable is that in Renaissance(文艺复兴时期的)coffee—houses, boxes were set near the door, into which customers could drop tips. These boxes, according to the story, bore the explanatory words “To Insure Promptitude(快捷)”，which was gradually shortened to TIP.

Tipping became common in England by the middle of the eighteenth century. Because this practice is not suitable to a country without an established servant class, it did not catch on in America until after the Civil War, when the Southern former slave—owners suddenly found themselves having to pay the service and when the nouveau riche(暴发户)century the custom had been made an American one.

11 One should give a tip to the following persons EXCEPT_______.

A a porter B a waitress C a nurse D a taxi-driver

12 If your meal is $20, you are expected to leave ____on the table.

A exactly $20

B less than $20

C about $23

D about $30

13 If you have 2 bags, you should pay ____to the porter as the tip.

A 50 cents B 60 cents C 80 cents D one dollar

14 According to the explanations in the passage, the original tipping is__.

A voluntary(自愿的)

B compulsory

C sensible

D reputable

15 It can be inferred that the Southern former slave—owners felt ___to tip for the service.

A depressive(沮丧的)

B excited

C proud

D disappointed
