【题目】You may have learned that tipping(给小费) is expected in some Western countries, but just how to do it correctly can be a bit confusing. In fact, incorrect tipping is the No 1 most common mistake travelers make. One well-known joke reflects this.
The joke goes that four people were travelling together. They were sitting around a table in a restaurant in US. How much do you think each of them tipped?
The man from the UK asked, “It is customary to tip 10 percent in US, right? ” The woman from the France answered, “No way! I’m not leaving10 percent! The service was so terrible. ”The man from China asked, “What’s a tip?” And the woman from the US cried, “Whoa, I am planning to tip 20 percent!”
Americans think it is the most natural thing in the world to pay for a service. Here are some comments on US tipping etiquette (礼节).
Mark Styles, Ohio, US
As the mother of a one-time server (who was paid $2.35/hr by the restaurant), I think tipping is just sharing a bit. Some of these servers are working their way through grad(毕业)school. Others are trying to put food on the table for their kids.
Dana, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA
I felt strange in south-east Asia not tipping, it felt like saying to someone that I didn't really value their time or work. Then again, they probably all got paid enough to live on their wages alone. That simply is not true for a large part of service jobs in the US.

【题目】Cat cafes to open in Toronto and Montreal
THESTAR,TORONTO
Soon, people in Toronto may be able to enjoy a hot chocolate or a coffee in a "cat cafe". Two groups of people in the city are trying to raise enough money to open cat cafes.
The idea is simple: a cafe for humans一with lots of cats around. People will be able to pet the cats while they're sipping their coffee. There are already cat cafes in places like England, France and in Asia like in Japan, South Korea and China.
Jennifer Morozowich plans to open her Kitty Cat Cafe in September. She told The Toronto Star that it will have six to fifteen cats. Morozowich is a cat lover who says that cats help to reduce people's pressure(压力).She is also planning to hold special "Litter-ature" events, with the Dundas West Animal Hospital, at her cafe, with kids reading to the cats.
Some experts(专家)say that reading to animals helps kids learn to read better because animals enjoy hearing the human voice and kids don’t have to feel worried about making mistakes while they're reading.
Another cat cafe, Pet Me Meow, will be open in autumn if Ashkan Rahimi and Jeff Ro have their way. They are trying to raise money to open a place where cats will live, and[people can come in and buy a coffee and hang out with the cats.
Both sets of possible tale owners will have to make sure their cafes are very clean. The City of Toronto has many rules that people have to follow who want to serve food to humans when there are animals nearby. For example, the animal boxes need to be in a separate space away from the eating area.
The cafe owners will get the cats from rescue shelters(救护所).If the coffee drinkers fall in love with a certain cat, they may be able to take it home.
The Toronto cat rates won't be Canada's first. Happy Cat Cafe, is opening in July in Montreal.
【1】The underlined word "sipping" in the second paragraph probably means“ ”·
A. selling B. getting C. drinking D. making
【2】According to the passage, Jennifer Morozowich
A. is a star from Toronto B. likes cats very much
C. has a cat cafe now D. lives under much pressure
【3】We can learn from the passage that
A. reading to cats may help kids make fewer mistakes
B. the cat cafes have to give food to animals nearby
