Three people were sitting around a table in a restaurant in Brazil. How much do you think each of them tipped (给小费)? The British asked, “It’s common to tip 10 percent, right?” The American woman cried, “Oh, I was planning to leave 20 percent!” And the Chinese asked,“What’s a tip?”
Although it is not a custom to tip in China, tipping is a big deal in Western countries. When traveling to countries like the US and Canada, it is common to tip about 10 to 15 percent of the bill.
Usually, people give tips to a waiter or waitress when they eat in a restaurant. The US tops the list of the biggest restaurant tips, with waiters and waitresses expecting to get 10 to 25 percent of the total bill.
So if you order $100 (about 662 yuan) worth of food, you are expected to pay your waiter at least $15, making your total payment $115.
But why is this? Many waiters and waitresses get paid below the US minimum wage (最低工资) and work for tips to make up for that. According to the American travel website TripAdvisor, some states pay their servers (服务员) only $2.13 per hour. It is not just for waiters, either. Hotel maids, hairdressers and taxi drivers also usually work for tips.
Besides the US, tipping is also popular in some Southeast Asian countries, such as Indonesia and Thailand. However, in Japan there is a no-tipping culture and you may actually offend the waiter if you try to give him money.

A.British people know how much to tip in a restaurant in Brazil

2.If you order $280 worth of food in the US, then it’s common to tip _____.
A.$14 B.$42 C.$50
3.Why is tipping so important in the US?

B.Because waiters will offer better service
C.Because servers there are not well paid
4.From the story, we can learn a lot EXCEPT ______.
A.Tipping is popular around the world.

Much meaning can be conveyed (传送） with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak. Do you have such kind of experience? On a bus you may look at a stranger, but not too long. And if he is sensing that he is being stared(盯)at, he may feel uncomfortable.
The same is in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry with the person who is looking at you. Eyes do speak, right?
Looking too long at someone may seem to be impolite and even rude. But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex. If a man stares at a woman, his purpose is obvious. That is, he wishes to attract her attention and make her understand that he is admiring her.
However, the normal eye contact (接触） for two people during a conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time in order to make sure that the listener is paying attention to what the speaker is speaking.
If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to contract you, you will feel uncomfortable. A poor liar(说谎者） usually looks too long at the victim, because he believes that looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.
In fact, continuous eye contact only happens between two lovers, who will enjoy looking at each other gently for a long time, to show feeling that words cannot express. Obviously, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the proper situation.
根据短文内容填空，完成下面的表格，每空一词。
