How Much to Tip

You’re out to dinner. The food is delicious and the service is fine. You decide to leave a big fat tip. Why? The answer may not be as simple as you think. Tipping, psychologists have found, is not just about service. Instead, studies have shown that tipping can be affected by psychological reactions to a series of different factors from the waiter’s choice of words, to how they carry themselves while taking orders, to the bill’s total. Even how much waiters remind customers of themselves can determine how much change they pocket by the end of the night. “Studies before have shown that mimicry (模仿) brings into positive feelings for the mimicker,” wrote Rick van Baaren, a social psychology professor. “These studies show that people who are being mimicked become more generous toward the person who mimics them.”

So Rick van Baaren divided 59 waiters into two groups. He requested that half serve with a phrase such as, “Coming up!” Those in the other half were instructed to repeat the orders and preferences back to the customers. Rick van Baaren then compared their take-home. The results were clear — it pays to mimic your customer. The copycat(模仿者) waiters earned almost double the amount of tips to the other group.

Leonard Green and Joel Myerson, psychologists at Washington University in St. Louis, found the generosity of a tipper may be limited by his bill. After research on the

4

1,000 tips left for waiters, cabdrivers, hair stylists, they found tip percentages in these three areas dropped as customers’ bills went up. In fact, tip percentages appear to plateau (达到稳定水平) when bills topped $100 and a bill for $200 made the worker gain no bigger percentage tip than a bill for $100.

“That’s also a point of tipping,” Green says. “You have to give a little extra to the cab driver for being there to pick you up and something to the waiter for being there to serve you. If they weren’t there, you’d never get any service. So part of the idea of a tip is for just being there.”

56. Apart from service, how many other factors affecting the customers’ tipping are mentioned in the passage? A. 1.

B. 2.

C. 3.

D. 4.

57. These studies show that _________.

A. tipping can be affected by physical reactions to many different waiter’s factors B. people who are being mimicked usually tip less to the person who mimics them C. the mimic waiters can get almost twice as much money as the other group D. mimicry makes the mimicker feel bad

58. According to the passage, which of the following will be likely to show the right change of the tip percentages? 30 20 Tip ($) 30 20 10 50 100 150 Bill ($)

($)

B

Tip ($) 30 20 10 50 100 150 Bill

($) C

Tip ($) 30 20 10 50 100 150 Bill

D

50 100 150 Bill ($) Tip ($) 10 A

59. We know from the passage that the writer seems to __________. A. object to Mr. Green’s idea about tipping

B. think part of Mr. Green’s explanation is reasonable C. give his generous tip to waiters very often

D. support the opinions of Mr. Green and Rick van Baaren about tipping B

It’s hard to track the blue whale, which has almost been killed off by commercial whaling. Attaching radio devices to it is difficult and visual sightings are too unreliable to give real insight into its behavior.

So biologists were delighted early this year when, with the help of the US Navy, they are able to track a particular blue whale for 43 days recording its sounds. This was possible because of the Navy’s former top secret system of underwater listening devices across the oceans.

Tracking whales is but one example of an exciting new world just opening to civilian scientists after the cold war as the Navy starts to share and partly uncover its global network of underwater listening system built over the decades to track the ships of potential enemies.

Earth scientists announced at a news conference recently that they had used the system for closely observing a deep-sea volcanic eruption for the first time and that they planned similar studies. Other scientists have proposed to use the network for tracking ocean currents and measuring changes in the ocean and global temperatures. Different layers of ocean water can act as channels for sounds focusing them in the same way a stethoscope(听诊器) does when it carries faint noises from a patient’s chest to a doctor’s ear. This focusing is the main reason that even relatively weak sounds in the ocean, especially low-frequency ones, can often travel thousands of miles.

64. The underwater listening system was originally designed _________________. A. to trace and locate enemy ships B. to observe deep sea volcanic eruptions C. to study the movement of ocean currents

D. to replace the global radio communications network

65. The deep-sea listening system makes use of __________________. A. the ability of sound to travel at high speed

B. the top-level technology of focusing sounds under water

7

C. the unique characteristic of layers of ocean water in carrying sound D. low-frequency sounds traveling across different layers of water 66. What can we infer from the passage?

A. New radio devices are developed for tracking the blue whales. B. Blue whales are no longer endangered with the new system. C. Opinions differ on the use of military technology. D. Military technology has great potential in civilian use. 67. What is the passage chiefly about?

A. An effort to protect an endangered marine species. B. The civilian use of a military detection system. C. The exposure of a US Navy top-secret weapon. D. A new way to look into the behavior of blue whales. D

I needed to buy a digital camera, one that was simply good at taking good snaps (快照), maybe occasionally for magazines. Being the cautious type, I fancied a reliable brand. So I went on the net, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations and headed for my nearest big friendly camera store. There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list. And it was on special offer. I pointed at it and asked an assistant, “Can I have one of those?”? He looked perturbed (不安). “Do you want to try it first?” he said. It didn’t quite sound like a question. “Do I need to?” I replied ,“There is nothing wrong with it？” This made him look a bit insulted and I started to feel bad. “No, no. But you should try it,” he said encouragingly. “Compare it with the others. ”

I looked across at the others: shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering a wide range of slightly different prices and discounts, with each company selling a range of models based around the same basic box. With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y, always trying to take Z and possibly H into account at the same time. But when I had finished, I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered

8

the store with: first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop, it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model.

But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps by making the right choice, the clever choice, the wise choice. In the end, I agreed to try the model I had chosen. The assistant seemed a sincere man. So I let him take out of my chosen camera from cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers? and when he started to introduce the special features, I interrupted to ask whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as well. Why do we think that new options still offer us anything new? Perhaps it is because they offer an opportunity to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine. 68. The shop assistant insisted that the writer should________. A. try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with it. B. compare the camera he had chosen with the others. C. get more information about different companies. D. trust him and stop asking questions.

69. What does the writer mean by “it would be worth half what I paid for it ”(paragraph 2)

A. He should get a 50% discount.

B. The price of the camera was unreasonably high. C. The quality of the camera was not good. D. The camera would soon fall in value.

70. The writer decided to try the model he had chosen because he________. A. knew very little about it. B. didn’t trust the shop assistant

C. wanted to make sure the one he chose would be the best.

D. had a special interest in taking pictures of his fellow shoppers.

71. It can be inferred from the passage that in the writer’s opinion__________. A. people waste too much money on cameras

9

B. cameras have become an important part of our daily life C. we don’t actually need so many choices when buying a product D. famous companies care more about profit than quality E

Beijing（13, July） China sent up a new data relay satellite, Tianlian I -02,

on Monday at the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre in South-western Sichuan province．The new satellite will promote the country's satellite communication network for space docking．

The satellite was launched on a Long-March-SC carrier rocket at 11:41 p．m．,

sources at the centre told Xinhua News Agency．The satellite separated from the rocket 26 minutes after its launch and was then successfully delivered into a geostationary transfer orbit. Developed by the China Academy of Space Technology under the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, the satellite is the country's second data relay satellite．The first, Tianlian I -01, was launched on April 25．2008．

The two satellites will form a network to improve communications between China's

spacecraft and bases on Earth, according to the centre．They will also be used to help the nation's first space docking, scheduled for the second half of this year．

As planned, China will launch space module Tiangong-I, which was designed as

a platform that will dock with an unmanned spaceship, Shenzhou, for the county's first space-docking mission this year．

Two more Shenzhou spaceships will dock with Tiangong-I next year, and one will

be manned by two or three astronauts, according to China Manned Space Engineering Office, which was the main user of the Tianlian I series data relay satellites．

\new satellite can cover a greater area to track and command the country's

space vehicles in low-Earth orbits, such as manned spacecraft and remote sensing satellites, from a higher position in outer space．Only three satellites of this kind are needed to form a global communication network, and China has two now．\Pang Zhihao, a researcher and deputy editor-in-chief of Space International, said．

The satellite could also equip astronauts with real-time communications, which

will benefit the country's future manned space flights, he said．

A．one more such satellite is needed to form a global communication network B．the satellite was developed by China Manned Space Engineering Office C．it was less than three years since China launched its first date relay

satellite of this kind

D．the satellite could help track and command space vehicles in orbits because

it's lower in position

74．Which of the following is TRUE according to the news report?

A．Shenzhou Ⅷ is a manned spaceship．

B．Tiangong- I will dock with three Shenzhou spaceships next year． C．the satellite is of great importance to China's space exploration． D．china’s first space docking will be done in the second half of next year.
