18.Restaurants do not include a service charge in the bill,so you should tip(付小费) the waiter 15% of the total bill.If service is slow or particularly bad,some Americans will tip only 10%.If service is particularly good,it is appropriate to tip 20%.If service is so bad that you will never eat in the restaurant again,leave two cents.This is a deliberate  insult(羞辱),because it tells the waiter that you don't forget to leave a tip.Tipping is only appropriate in restaurants which offer table service.You do not tip the cashier in a fast food restaurant.
Taxi drivers expect to get a tip equal to 15% of the total fare.If the driver is especially helpful or has got you to your destination more quickly than expected,give a 20% tip.
Hotel bellboys expect a﹩1 tip for helping you with your bags.If you order room service,the tip is included in the bill.Coat checkroom attendants expect﹩1 per coat.Hairdressers and barbers expect a tip of 15% of the bill.Parking attendants expect a﹩1 tip.
Federal regulations prohibit letter carriers from accepting cash gifts in any amount,or gifts worth﹩20 or more from customers.

3."Ten years ago I could never have imagined I'd be doing this,"says Greg Pal,33,a former software executive."I mean,this is essentially agriculture,right?But the people I talk to,especially the ones coming out of business school,think this is the one hot area everyone wants to get into."
He means bugs.To be more accurate,the genetic(基因的) change of bugs---very,very small ones---so that when they feed on agricultural waste such as woodchip or wheat straw,they do something extraordinary.They excrete (排泄) crude oil.
Unbelievably,this is not science fiction.Mr.Pal holds up a small cup of bug excretion that could,in theory,be poured into the tank of the big Lexus SUX next to us.Not that Mr.Pal was willing to risk it just yet.He gives it a month before the first vehicle is filled up with what he calls"renewable petroleum".After that,he smiles,"It's a brave new world."
Mr.Pal is a senior director of LS9,one of several companies in or near Silicon Valley.The company is not interested in using corn as material,given the much-advertised problems created by using food crops for fuel.Instead,different types of agricultural waste will be used according to whatever makes sense for the local climate and economy:wheat straw in California,for example,or woodchip in the south.
Are Americans ready to be putting genetically changed bug excretion in their cars?"It's not the same as with food,"Mr.Pal say."We are putting these bacteria in a very isolated container.Their entire universe is in that tank.When we've done with them.they are destroyed."
"Besides",he says,"there is greater good being served.""I have two children,and climate change is something that they are going to face.The energy crisis is something that they are going to face.We have a collective responsibility to do this."

72.Greg Pal used toC.
A.have great interest in bugs
B.major in agriculture
C.be engaged in developing software
D.study in a business school
73.To make the bugs excrete crude oil,Greg Pal has toB..
A.keep them in an isolated tank
B.change their genes first
C.change their usual diet first
D.kill them for bacteria
74.We can infer from the passage thatC.
A.it is a very complex process for bugs to produce oil
B.it is not worthwhile for Mr.Pal to do the experiment
C.it is safe to use the excretion produced by bugs
D.it is necessary to use bugs to produce crude oil
75.What would be the best title for the passage?A
A.Bugs Eat Waste and Excrete Petrol
B.Waste Turns into Crude Oil
C.A Promising Business
D.Software Executive Turned to Bugs.

13.I can still remember the first day when I met my best friend.She had just moved into the neighborhood and her grandmother brought her down to meet me.I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother,scared to look at each other.
    Soon,we lost the shyness and started playing with each other,bike riding to each other's house and having sleepovers.In 7th grade she was going through family problems.However,every summer we would always sit at each other's house and watch movies on TV and talk about all the boys we liked.
    It was last year when I noticed the problem.She suffered from clinical depression(抑郁症),and had to go to a hospital during the day.I was very sorry for her at first.But with the late night calls,and meeting each other halfway up the street at midnight,we still stayed in touch.I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend left her,and I knew I still cared about her like a sister.
    Yesterday she came to me and said this."I never knew what a best friend was until you were the only person that would stop me from cutting myself; the only person that ever made me feel better about myself and my problems.You didn't know this but I was trying to kill myself that very night you called me and I was crying.I owe you so much,and you didn't even know you were helping me."
    We both cried.And I guess a kind of lesson from my life so far is to never give up your friends.Even if they aren't as cool as others,or people think they are crazy,they need someone there.If you leave them,you will only be very sorry.So if friends need you,and you care for them,you should be always there for them.
