A recent report said that 40% of Americans hate tipping . In America alone , tipping is a $16 billion-a-year industry .Consu
29、mers 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 re
30、lations . 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 larg
31、er 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
32、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
33、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
34、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
35、 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 f
36、ollowing 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 America
37、n 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 popul
38、ar 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 he
39、r 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 s
40、imple 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 P
41、rincess 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 mak
42、e 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 governmen
43、t .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 misunderst
44、anding”. 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

47、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 D
