18、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 reaso
19、n only: we tip to supplement (补贴)the salary of restaurant workers. Quality of service does not enter into it, beyond the fact 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 1
20、5 per cent for dining in a family-style restaurant or in an upmarket(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 restart in my city, I left a tip of
21、20 per cent on the nontax part of our dinner bill. It was expected. There is nothing more complicated(复杂的) than that about Americas tipping in restaurants.Ward Hoffman,Palo Alto, CA 94306, US From Mr. Philip McBride Johnson.Sir, I agree with most of Raj Persauds opinion about the doubtful value of t
22、ipping, 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 i

Your shirt changes from sky blue to deep red. Tiny preprogrammed electronics (智能电子元件) are rearranged in you
27、r shirt to change its color. Looking into the mirror, you find it hard to believe youre 40. You look much younger. With amazing advances in medicine, people in your generation may live to be 150 years old. Youre not even middle-aged!As you go into the kitchen and prepare to pour your breakfast cerea
28、l into a bowl, you hear, “To lose weight, you shouldnt eat that,” from your shoes. They read the tiny electronic code (电子源码) on the cereal box to find out the nutrition details. You decide to listen to your shoes. “Kitchen, what can I have for breakfast?” A list of possible foods appears on the coun
29、ter as the kitchen checks its food supplies.“Ready for you trip to space?” you ask your son and daughter. In 2005 only specially trained astronauts went into spaceand very few of them. Today anyone can go to space for day trips or longer vacations. Your best friend even works in space. Handing your

34、r been out on a boat and felt it lifted up by a wave? Or have you jumped in the water and felt the rush of energy as waves came over you?” asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group at the University of Edinburgh. “There is certainly a lot of energy in waves,” he said.Scientists are working to use
35、that energy to make electricity. Most waves are created when winds blow across the ocean. “The wind starts out by making little ripples (涟漪) , but if they keep on blowing, those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves,” Taylor said. “Waves are one of natures ways of picking up energy and t
36、hen sending it off on a journey.”When waves come toward the shore, people can set up dams to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine (涡轮机). The turbine can then power an electrical generator to produce electricity.“The resource is huge,” said Janet Swain of the Worldwatch
37、Institute. “We will never run out of wave power.” Besides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as other energy sources, such as oil or coal. Oceans cover three-quarters of the Earths surface-that would make wave power seem ideal for creating energy throughout the world, though there are s
38、ome weak points yet to overcome.Swain said that wave power still costs too much money. She also said that its effects on sea animals are still unknown. What is more, wave power could affect fishing and boat traffic.Traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may someday run out. “Demand for energ
39、y to power our TVs and computers, drive our cars, and heat and cool our homes is rising rapidly throughout the world,” Swain said. In the future when you turn on a light, an ocean wave could be providing the electricity!49The writer uses the two questions at the beginning of the passage to _.Atest t

42、yDour supply of sea fishDIt was a day to celebrate if your family had put most of its money in a bank. You will get more money back because of a recent rise in interest rates (利率).On October 29, for the first time in nine years, the Peoples Bank of China (PBOC) raised interest rates. The rate for on
43、e-year renminbi deposits (存款) was increased from 1.98 per cent to 2.25 per cent. And the rate for one-year renminbi loans (贷款) went up from 5.31per cent to 5.58 per cent. Longer-term rates saw higher increases.So what are interest rates? Banks offer some money to encourage people to keep their savin
44、gs in a savings account, and ask more money in return if you borrow money from them. The percentages of the extra money are the interest rates.If your parents have borrowed money from banks to pay for houses or cars, the interest rates rise was not good news.An increase in the interest rates on a lo
45、an means the borrower will need to repay more to the bank. For example, a person who borrowed 10,000 yuan from the bank had to return 10,531 yuan before the interest rise. But after the interest rates are increased, he has to pay extra 27 yuan per year.The rise came following a great demand for the
46、cooling of the over-heating Chinese economy. For several years, pushed by a huge investment and construction projects, the country has had the fastest economic growth in the world. But this can be damaging just as it is when a person grows too fast and can no longer fit their clothes. It is hoped th
47、at with a higher interest rate people will act more cautiously and take less risks when borrowing money.“The rate rise will help the economy to cool down. It will reduce investment in unnecessary industrial and construction projects.” said Su Ning, deputy governor (副行长) of the PBOC.53If we deposit 1
48、000 RMB in the bank for one year, how much interest can we get after October 29?

51、ll be careful of taking money from banks to expand their business.EWe are all interested in equality, but while some people try to protect the school and examination system in the name of equality, others, still in the name of equality, want only to destroy it .Any society which is interested in equ
52、ality of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils. The standards may be changedno examination is perfectbut to have no tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards. There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either i
53、n examinations or in any controls in school or on teachers. This would mean that everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on the efficiency, the values and the purpose of each teacher.Without examinations, employers will look for employees from the highly respected schools and
54、from families known to thema form of favourtism will replace equality. At the moment, the bright child from an illrespected school can show certificates to prove he or she is suitable for a job, while the lack of certificate indicates the unsuitability of a dull child attending a wellrespected schoo
55、l. This defence of excellence and opportunity would disappear if examinations were taken away, and the bright child from a poor family would be a prisoner of his or her schools reputation, unable to compete for employment with the child from the favoured school.The opponents of the examination syste
56、m suggest that examinations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils. According to these people, there must be no special, different, academic class. They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be fill
57、ed by unsystematic selection. The selection would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some computer.57The word “favouritism” in paragraph 3 is used to describe the phenomenon that _.Abright children also need certificates to get satisfying jobs.Bchildren from wellrespected scho
