    　　From Mr．Ward Hoffman．

    　　Sir, I was halfway through Professor Raj Persaud’s article “What’s the tipping point”(Financial Times Weekend, April 9-10)when it occurred to me that what I was reading was not ironic(讽刺的)．If Prof Persaud wants to know why Americans tip in restaurants, he needs only to ask the first American he meets in London．

    　　Americans tip in restaurants for one reason, and one reason only：we tip to supplement(补贴)the salary of restaurant workers．Quality of service does not enter into it, beyond the fact that one may tip a bit less for poor service, or a little more for good service．Not tipping at all in a non-fast-food restaurant is not a choice．In the US, one used to tip about 15 per cent for dining in a family-style restaurant or in an up-market(高档的)restaurant．Here, in San Francisco Bay area restaurants, we are encouraged to tip 20 per cent or more, to help restaurant workers live in this very expensive area．

    　　After eating at an Italian restaurant in my city, I left a tip of 20 per cent on the non-tax part of our dinner bill．It was expected．There is nothing more complicated(复杂的)than that about Americans tipping in restaurants．

    　　Ward Hoffman, Palo Alto, CA 94306, US

    　　***

    　　From Mr．Philip McBride Johnson．

    　　Sir, I agree with most of Raj Persaud’s opinion about the doubtful value of tipping, but with one exception(例外)．Tips can be very useful when one is a repeat customer or diner．It is only when the tipper is a stranger and likely to remain so that the system does not work to his or her advantage．But frequent a hotel or a restaurant, always tip a bit more, and the difference in service and treatment will be easily felt．

    　　Philip McBride Johnson, Great Falls, VA 22066, US

         请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。
         (注意:每空格1个单词)
         WASHINGTON -According to statistics compiled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
    72 officers were killed by criminals in 2011, increased markedly in recently years.
         The 2011 deaths were the first time that more officers were killed by suspects than car accidents.
    The number was the highest in nearly two decades, excluding those who died in the Sept. 11 attacks
    in 2001 and the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995.
         While the F.B.I. and other law enforcement(执行) officials cannot fully explain the reasons for the
    rise in officer homicides, they are clear about the terrible consequences.
         "In this law enforcement job, when you pin this badge on and go out on calls, when you leave
    home, you can't guarantee that you will come back," said Sheriff Ray Foster of Buchanan County,
    Va.
         After a series of killings in early 2011, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. asked federal authorities
    to work with local police departments to try to come up with solutions to the problem.
          The F.B.I., which has tracked officer deaths since 1937, paid for a study conducted by John Jay
    College that found that in many cases the officers were trying to arrest or stop a suspect who had
    previously been arrested for a violent crime.
         That prompted the F.B.I. to change what information it will provide to local police departments,
    the officials said. Starting this year, when police officers stop a car and call its license plate into the
    F.B.I.'s database, they will be told whether the owner of the vehicle has a violent history. Through the
    first three months of this year, the number of police fatalities has dropped, though it is unclear why.
         Some law enforcement officials believe that techniques pioneered by the New York Police
    Department over the past two decades and adopted by other departments may have put officers at
    greater risk by encouraging them to conduct more street stops and to seek out and confront (对抗)
    suspects who seem likely to be armed. In New York and elsewhere, police officials moved more
    officers into crime-ridden areas.
         Some argue that the rise in violence is linked to the tough economy. With less money, police
    departments, after years of staffing increases, have been forced to make cutbacks(削减).
         The police chief in Camden, N.J., J. Scott Thomson, whose force of 400 was cut by nearly half
    last year because of financing issues, said that having fewer officers on the street "makes it that much
    more difficult to create an environment in which criminals do not feel as encouraged to attack anothe
    r person, let alone a law enforcement officer."
         "Every stop can be potentially fatal, so we are trying to make sure the officers are ready and
    prepared to face deadly force every single day they go out." Ms. Klimt said.

         New York times, Nov, 24,2011-It is not just any bug, but the native nine-spotted ladybug.
    And its reappearance is something of a relief, because it is the official New York State insect,
    even though the last recorded sighting of it in New York was 29 years ago.
         Its absence had not gone completely unnoticed. There was a moment in 2006 when the State
    Assembly, realizing that the state insect had left the state, tried to replace it with a different species
    of ladybug, an attempt that fortunately gave in to law.
         And now-after all these years-the state insect has been found. Like so many other New Yorkers,
    it was seen summering in Amagansett. Peter Priolo, a volunteer participant in an effort called the
    Lost Ladybug Project, found the ladybug on July 30 in a patch of sunflowers during a group search
    he had organized.
         "I didn't realize it was a nine-spotted when I found it," Mr. Priolo said. He was on his way to do
    an end-of-the-day ladybug record, so, he said, "I put it in my jar and hurried back to meet with
    everybody."
         If the ladybugs are making a comeback, it is only beginning. The lost Ladybug Project started
    surveys in 2000. As of 2006, only five nene-spotted ladybugs had been found in North America in
    the previous 10 years, none of them in the East. Then one lone ladybug was found in Arlington,
    Va. None had been found in the East since, and only 90 have been reported in North America.
         After scientists at Cornell confirmed Mr. Priolo's find, they went to the Amagansett farm in
    mid-August to lead a search that turned up about 20 more of the bugs. An area between rows of
    carrots and beans turned out to be a hot spot. "We found a lot of them on cosmos and zinnias," said
    Dr. Losey said, an insect expert. The farm is part of the 10,000-acre Peconic Land Trust in Amagansett,
    and it is organic. For ladybugs, Dr. Losey said, "you couldn't design a better place."
         Dr. Losey wants to find out if it makes sense to reintroduce this strain of the ladybug in other areas.
    And he expects volunteers to be back out in the field when ladybug season starts again in the spring.
    Now, he said, "we need to find out more places where there are just as many."

    1. The last time the New Yorkers saw their state insect in            .
    A. 2000
    B. 2006
    C. 1998
    D. 1982
    2. The New Yorkers are so delighted to see the insect because           .
    A. it has some bright spots on its back
    B. it is the official insect of the city
    C. it had been out of sight for quite some time
    D. it is a new species unknown to New York
    3. What does the second paragraph of the passage imply?
    A. It's against the law to bring new insects to New York.
    B. The State Assembly don't like to live with Ladybugs.
    C. The absence of the state insect had never been known.
    D. The state insect had to leave because of a new species.
    4. From the last two paragraphs we know that       .
    A. only some insect experts are really interested in ladybugs
    B. Dr Losey is quite confident about the future of the insect
    C. most ladybugs have m moved to live in the down area
    D. more vegetables will be grown to welcome the state insect
