26、A new study explores the custom of tipping in the United States. Many Americans give tips to people who perform a job for them, especially workers in the service industry. They pay a little extra to people cutting their hair, driving them across town or serving them a meal at a restaurant.

The researchers found that men give bigger tips to restaurant workers than women. And people who live in the northern US are more generous with tips than those living in the South. People who earn $ 50, 000 or more a year give bigger tips than those who earn less than $50, 000. There is one likely reason: the wealthier Americans have more money to spend.

Michael Lynn is a professor of consumer behavior and marketing at the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration in New York. In other words, he knows a lot about the issue of tipping. In earlier surveys, Lynn said he found mixed results on the generosity of men and women when it comes to tipping. In some studies, men gave bigger tips than women. In others, women gave more money.

Lynn’s own research in American restaurants found that men give bigger tips when the restaurant server is a woman and women give more when the server is a man. Tips are very important to service employees. People who work at restaurants often get most of their earnings from tips.

Nationwide, Americans generally tip between 15 to 20 percent at restaurants and leave from $2 to S 10 a day for the people who clean their hotel rooms. Tips of 15 percent of the reading on the meter (计价器) are also common for people who drive taxis.

But here is something to keep in mind. If you are able to give the person serving you a tip or a bigger one than what is expected, your generosity will be welcome. Many service workers do not make much money, and even an extra dollar or two can make a difference in their lives.

【1】What is paragraph I mainly about?

A．A study in a restaurant.

B．A job offering a lot of tips.

C．The service industry in the US.

D．The custom of tipping in the US.

【2】What is Lynn’s finding in American restaurants?

A．People give more tips to the opposite sex server.

B．People are always more generous to service employers.

C．Men give the same tips to the women restaurant servers as women.

D．Men always give more tips to the men restaurant servers than women.

【3】How much tips do Americans generally pay if the reading on the taximeter is $100?

A．$2.

B．$10.

C．$15.

D．$20.

【4】What is the authors attitude towards tipping?

A．Doubtful.

B．Critical.

C．Uncaring.

D．Supportive.

Over 80% people go to work by car.

25% car journeys are under two miles.

BUSES

Bus companies are using new buses：some run on new fuels which produce less pollution；some have easier access for disabled and old people. There are special traffic lanes（行车道）to make bus journeys easier and more reliable. So do something to help solve the pollution problem let the bus take you to work and your children to school.

TRAINS

All car journeys，long or short，can be hard work. For some trips it is wiser to take the train. Leave your car at home and walk，cycle or take a bus to and from the station. Train travel is fast，safe and comfortable. Train tickets are not always expensive；some are quite cheap at discount.

28、Dear Mummy,

This last trip to India with you has brought home to me a few hard facts- facts that I wanted to avoid seeing for some time. As you well know, you and I have had a few arguments and several days of tension during the trip. I must admit sometimes I really do not know how to communicate to you what I really feel. Words seem to fail on both sides. That's why I am writing this letter. Perhaps it will be a bit easier.   ①

As I approach my seventeenth year, I suddenly ask myself where I belong.1 know this is the usual teenage identity crisis. You came to this country when you were slightly older than I am and married my father. You admired the American lifestyle and tried to be an American as much as you could. I am the daughter of you, a mother who is Indian, and a father who is American. Of course, I am American. Except for a few trips to India I have little to do with India outwardly. But I feel how much you would like me to become Indian sometimes. I cannot explain it with examples. But I feel it in my bones. The India that you never quite shake off comes back to you now and you want to see your daughter live it, at least partly.   ②

Yes, Mummy, I know I am wrapped up in many superficial (肤浅的) things, things my friends indulge in (沉迷于) and I can understand your need to protect me. But I am part of them and in order for me to be accepted by my friends, sometimes I need to do things which do not always please me either. I need their approval and I want to be like them sometimes. But your good intentions to teach me those good Indian things then clash. Although I dislike the superficiality of my friends, I cannot move back to your culture just because it is better for you or more ancient or deep.   ③  

My dearest mother, I cannot be protected by you. Forgive me if I remind you of something you related  to me many times. You could not be protected by my grandparents (your parents) when you decided to embrace this culture along with my father. ④   Nor can you protect me despite the fact that we are not separated by physical distance. Perhaps we are separated by something else and I suspect that is India.

I have never written a letter like this before in my short life. I feel good about writing this and would like to hear what you have to say, Ma, perhaps you and I can still be friends in a way that you and your mother could not be. Let’s try. I love you.

Yours,

Rita

29、   A new kind of rice, golden rice, may soon make its way into the world’s food supply by the year 2021, reports Science magazine.

Golden rice was actually first developed back in the 1990s by German scientists who were looking for creative ways to reduce rates of Vitamin A deficiency(维生素A缺乏症) in human body, which continues to be a major concern throughout the developing world. Beta-carotene(胡萝卜素), which exists in some plants, can change into vitamin A in our body.

In view of beta-carotene’s characteristics, German scientists tried and managed to make rice filled with additional beta-carotene, which has a strong red orange color. The beta-carotene that is added to this rice is actually what conduces to its special golden color.

To German scientists, developing this rice was meaningful. But as with all GM(转基因的) crops, some people warn that the golden rice may be unnecessary and even harmful, possibly having some environment consequences. Until now, those voices have prevented golden rice from being planted anywhere.

However, that’s about to change. Bangladesh now plans to become the first country to approve golden rice for planting. Recently, golden rice is receiving a series of tests before the final approval of Bangladesh. Tests conducted by the Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) found no new farming challenges with golden rice and no big differences in quality between the crop and the traditional varieties, with the exception that golden rice is more nutritious. Some other organizations are still doing tests about the environmental influences of the crop. If those results are also good, then golden rice will have received all the approval it needs to move forward with planting.

As for the future market for the golden rice, the crop will need to gain the public’s trust. And it remains to be seen whether golden rice will offer a better nutritional and economical choice compared to other sources of vitamin A, such as other vegetables where it occurs naturally.

【1】What was German scientists’ main purpose of working on rice?

A.To raise its output. B.To make it look prettier.

C.To collect its beta-carotene. D.To improve its vitamin A content in our body.

【2】What does the underlined part “conduces to” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A.Causes. B.Changes. C.Removes. D.Lightens.

【3】What do BRRI’s tests show about golden rice?

A.It can hardly grow on the farmland of Bangladesh. B.It is nutritionally better than traditional rice.

C.It may do serious harm to the environment. D.It is no different from other rice in taste.

【4】How is golden rice’s future market in the author’s opinion?

A.Promising. B.Worrying. C.Uncertain. D.Hopeless.
