本文中的父亲通过水瓶自爆这一件事情，向女儿阐明了这样一个道理：有些事情解释得越清楚，别人听起来就越不相信。
【小题1】由第10空前那句话可知，拿水瓶倒茶后进入内室的是主人(host)。
【小题2】相对于host而言。第4个空格后又再现了这一信息。
【小题3】突然想起了什么事情，又匆忙跑进内屋，用think of表示“想起来”。此空可以根据行文逻辑和词语搭配关系选定。
【小题4】上下呼应。从下面的水瓶掉下地，打碎来推测，水瓶是放在桌子上。另前文的place it on the small table也暗示了这一点。
【小题5】与主人的“离开”形成对比，客人“仍旧”坐在那儿。
【小题6】通过下文得知，是水瓶爆了所发出的爆炸应用“crash”。由第8空后的sound一词也可得到启发。
【小题7】look over one’s shoulder意为“回过头看”，合乎文意。
【小题8】“叫”“哭”有可能发生在水瓶爆裂的时侯，不可能发生在事后，故排除C、D。惊讶时会“盯着看”，合乎常情。
【小题9】因为没人碰过水瓶，所以事情有点“蹊跷”。
【小题10】水瓶炸裂，流出热水，自然会冒出蒸气，故用“steaming”。A、D两个选项不太可能出现。
【小题11】由第17空后的knock it down推知。
【小题12】因为女儿原是向窗外看的，所以透过窗户玻璃看到的是父亲的“影像”，故用reflection。
【小题13】指身体的纹丝不动用still，指没有声音用silent,指心平气和用calm，这里显然指身体的未动。straight较为片面，应舍去。
【小题14】laugh（笑着说）表明了父亲的睿智。
【小题15】give此处表示“给出理由”。
【小题16】此处do为vi，意为“起作用”，help没有do蕴含丰富。
【小题17】由行文逻辑和空格后的accept推定。
【小题18】defend sth. 意为“为……而辩解”。全句意为：你越辩解，别人越不相信。
【小题19】父亲讲得玄乎，女儿听得似懂非懂，be lost意为“迷茫”。
【小题20】上文中父亲对水瓶爆裂原因的叙述就是一种“解释”。do和manage 也说得通，但意义较为笼统，不及explain含义准确.

You’re out to dinner. The food is delicious and the service is fine. You decide to leave a big fat tip. Why? The answer may not be as simple as you think.
Tipping, psychologists have found, is not just about service. Instead, studies have shown that tipping can be affected by psychological reactions to a series of different factors from the waiter’s choice of words to how they carry themselves while taking orders to the bill’s total.
“Studies before have shown that mimicry (模仿) brings into positive feelings for the mimicker,” wrote Rick van Baaren, a social psychology professor. “These studies show that people who are being mimicked become more generous toward the person who mimics them.”
So Rick van Baren divided 59 waiters into two groups. He requested that half serve with a phrase such as, “Coming up!” Those in the other half were instructed to repeat the orders and preferences back to the customers. Rick van Baaren then compared their take-home(实得收入). The results were clear---it pays to mimic your customer. The copycat waiters earned almost double the amount of tips to the other group.
Leonard Green and Joel Myerson, psychologists at Washington University in St. Louis, found the generosity of a tipper may be limited by his bill. After research on the 1,000 tips left for waiters, cab drivers, hair stylists, they found tip percentages in these three areas dropped as customers’ bills went up.
“That’s also a point of tipping,” Green says. “You have to give a little extra to the cab driver for being there to pick you up and something to the waiter for being there to serve you. If they weren’t there you’d never get any service. So part of the idea of a tip is for just being there.”
【小题1】According to the passage, a customer gives the cab driver a tip for ____.
| A．driver’s politeness | B．being there | C．driver’s attitudes | D．driver’s mimicry |
| A．oppose Mr. Green’s idea about tipping |
| B．support the opinions of Mr. Green and Rick van Baaren about tipping |
| C．give his generous tip to the waiters very often |
| D．think part of Mr. Green’s explanation is reasonable |

How Much to Tip
You’re out to dinner. The food is delicious and the service is fine. You decide to leave a big fat tip. Why? The answer may not be as simple as you think.
Tipping, psychologists have found, is not just about service. Instead, studies have shown that tipping can be affected by psychological reactions to a series of different factors from the waiter’s choice of words, to how they carry themselves while taking orders, to the bill’s total. Even how much waiters remind customers of themselves can determine how much change they pocket by the end of the night.
“Studies before have shown that mimicry (模仿) brings into positive feelings for the mimicker,” wrote Rick van Baaren, a social psychology professor. “These studies show that people who are being mimicked become more generous toward the person who mimics them.”
So Rick van Baaren divided 59 waiters into two groups. He requested that half serve with a phrase such as, “Coming up!” Those in the other half were instructed to repeat the orders and preferences back to the customers. Rick van Baaren then compared their take-home. The results were clear — it pays to mimic your customer. The copycat(模仿者) waiters earned almost double the amount of tips to the other group.
Leonard Green and Joel Myerson, psychologists at Washington University in St. Louis, found the generosity of a tipper may be limited by his bill. After research on the 1,000 tips left for waiters, cabdrivers, hair stylists, they found tip percentages in these three areas dropped as customers’ bills went up. In fact, tip percentages appear to plateau (达到稳定水平) when bills topped $100 and a bill for $200 made the worker gain no bigger percentage tip than a bill for $100.
“That’s also a point of tipping,” Green says. “You have to give a little extra to the cab driver for being there to pick you up and something to the waiter for being there to serve you. If they weren’t there, you’d never get any service. So part of the idea of a tip is for just being there.”
1. Apart from service, how many other factors affecting the customers’ tipping are mentioned in the passage?
A. 1. B. 2. C. 3. D. 4.
2. These studies show that _________.
A. tipping can be affected by physical reactions to many different waiter’s factors
B. people who are being mimicked usually tip less to the person who mimics them
C. the mimic waiters can get almost twice as much money as the other group
D. mimicry makes the mimicker feel bad
3. According to the passage, which of the following will be likely to show the right change of the tip percentages?
 |
A B C D
4. We know from the passage that the writer seems to __________.
A. object to Mr. Green’s idea about tipping
B. think part of Mr. Green’s explanation is reasonable
C. give his generous tip to waiters very often
D. support the opinions of Mr. Green and Rick van Baaren about tipping
