Question

【题目】 In the US and many other countries. Tipping(给小费) is a way of saying thank-you to someone for his good service. Who do you tip? And how much? Below are some tips(提示) for travelers in the US.

1Taxi drivers: $2 to $3; you give more if he helps you with your bags.

2 Porters(搬运工): A standard tip(标准的小费) for porters is $1 each bag; more if your suitcases are very heavy.

3Hotel bellboy(青年侍者): Again, $1 for each bag. Tip him when he shows you to your room.

4 Doorman(看门人): A $1 tip for calling a taxi. However, you may tip more for special service, such as shielding(挡住) you with an umbrella in the rain. You don’t have to give the doorman anything just for opening the door or greeting you.

5 Hotel maid(女佣): If you stay for more than one night, $1 each night is standard.

6 Waiters and waitresses: 15-20% of your pre-tax(税前的) bill. In restaurants and bars in the US and Canada, 15% is the standard tip.

7 Tour guides(导游): If a tip is not included in your bill, tip $1 for half-day tour, $2 for a one-day tour, and anywhere from $5 to $10 for a week-long tour.

Now, it’s sad to say that people have to give tips, even though the service is not good at all. So if you go to the US, remember to carry a lot of change(零钱) for tips.

【解析】

文章讲述在美国和许多其他国家给小费是一种感谢某人良好服务的行为。文章给了一些在美国的旅行者关于给多少消费的建议，

【1】根据文中“Taxi drivers: $2 to $3; you give more if he helps you with your bags.”可知，如果司机帮忙拿包，要付更多，多于3美元的小费。故答案为more than。

【2】根据文中“Hotel bellboy(青年侍者): Again, $1 for each bag. Tip him when he shows you to your room.”可知，每个包需要付1美元小费，三个包是3美元。所以答案是three。

【3】根据文中“You don’t have to give the doorman anything just for opening the door or greeting you.”可知，看门人替你开门或者问候你，你是不需要付小费的。所以答案是(1). opens ，(2). greets。

【4】根据文中“Tour guides(导游): If a tip is not included in your bill, tip $1 for half-day tour, $2 for a one-day tour, and anywhere from $5 to $10 for a week-long tour.”可知，如果旅程是一周，需要付5-10美元，所以至少付5美元。所以答案是five。

【5】根据文中“Tour guides(导游): If a tip is not included in your bill, tip $1 for half-day tour, $2 for a one-day tour, and anywhere from $5 to $10 for a week-long tour.”可知，如果旅程是一天，需要付2美元。所以答案是two。
