　　Rosa and her classmates were in a street in West London. The sky was dark. This was Rosa's big day-her first day in England.

　　Rosa got out of a taxi. The driver carried a very heavy bag for her. They walked through the rain to the front door of a big Victorian house.

　　A small girl opened the door. She was four years old. Her brother stood behind her. He was only two years old. One minute later, a young woman came to the door.

　　“Welcome to Wembley!” she said and she offered Rosa her hand. “These are my two children, Elisabeth and Isaac.”

　　“Pleased to meet you, Mrs. Frost!” said Rosa with a strong Spanish accent.

　　The two children ran back into the living-room.

　　“Don't worry about them! They're a little shy. And please call me Diana! Now let me show you your room and then we can have a nice cup of tea. Or would you like some coffee?”

　　“I'd like to try a cup of English tea, made in England.”

　　“This is your bedroom. There's a nice view(视野) of the football stadium(露天体育场) and here's a little desk where you can study. The bathroom and toilet are just opposite your door. Now I'll go and put the kettle on.”

　　“Excuse me. What's a kettle?”

　　“In England, we use a kettle to make hot water. We can then put the hot water in a teapot or use it to make coffee.”

　　Rosa was happy with her new home, but she was a little puzzled(困惑的). Perhaps her mother Maruja was right. The British were not normal people. They did not kiss when they met and they lived in large Victorian palaces. Their favourite drink was tea and they used strange metal kettles to make the weather hot. What was she going to say to Elisabeth and Isaac? How could she make friends with two shy English children? Perhaps the answer was in the big, black psychology(心理学) book.

　　The porter brings your bags to your room and helpfully explains all you want to know. Then he points to the phone and says：“If there's anything else you need, just call.” All this time you have been thinking about one thing; “How much should I tip(付小费) him?” To make your next trip a little easier, here's a guide to tipping across some Asian countries.

　　In general, the more Westernized the place is, the more likely you will be expected to leave a tip. Some top－end restaurants will add a 10% service charge to the bill. If not, waiters will appreciate you tacking on(附加) the 10% yourself. However, if you're eating at lower-end(低档的) restaurant a tip is not necessary. If you're staying at one of Bangkok's many five-star hotels, expect to tip the porter 20 to 50 baths, depending on how many bags you have. Taxis are now metered in Bangkok. Local custom is to round the fare(车费) up to the nearest five baths.

　　Tipping is customary in this money-made metropolis(大都市). Most restaurants add a 10% service charge to the bill, but the extra money often ends up in the pocket of the owner. If the service is good, add another l0% to the bill, up to HK $ 100 in an especially nice restaurant. For HK $ 10 hotel porters should do it at all but the nicest hotels where a new HK $ 20 bill may be more acceptable. When in a taxi, round up(凑整数) to the nearest dollar.

　　Tipping in Malaysia is limited to the expensive Westernized hotels, which often add a 10% service charge to your meal or hotel room. If you are at a hotel restaurant, expect a 10% service change. But at local restaurants, there's no need to add a tip. At five-star hotels, one or two ringgit will content a porter. At lower-end buildings don't feel you have to tip. Like Bangkok, many taxis are now metered(打表) so you can just round up to the nearest ringgit.

　　Tipping is not part of Korean culture, although it has become a matter of course in international hotels where a 10% service charge is often added. If you're at a Korean barbecue joint(烧烤处), there's no need to add extra. But a nice Italian restaurant may require a 10% contribution. If you're at a top-end hotel, so expect to add anything 500～1 000 won per bag. Taxi drivers don't accept a tip. Keep the change for yourself.

1．In which of the following cities is it unnecessary to tip the taxi-drivers?

[　　]

2．Which of the following is not the unit of money?

[　　]

3．From the text, we can infer tipping comes from ________.

[　　]

4．If you stay at a five-star hotel in Kuala Lumpur, how much will you pay the porter at least?

[　　]

5．The writer seems ________.

[　　]

A．to tell the readers how to travel

B．to give the readers some advice on how to tip

C．to ask the readers to go on a travel to Asian cities

D．to make the trip more pleasant
