17、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 f
18、actors from the waiters choice of words, to how they carry themselves while taking orders, to the bills 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 feel
19、ings 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, “Com
20、ing 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.Leona
21、rd 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 u
22、p. 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 $100.“Thats also a point of tipping,” Green says. “You have to give a little extra to the cab driver for being there to pick you up and some
23、thing to the waiter for being there to serve you. If they werent there, youd never get any service. So part of the idea of a tip is for just being there.”56. Apart from service, how many other factors affecting the customers tipping are mentioned in the passage?A. 1.B. 2.C. 3.D. 4.57. These studies
24、show that _.A. tipping can be affected by physical reactions to many different waiters factorsB. people who are being mimicked usually tip less to the person who mimics them C. the mimic waiters can get almost twice as much money as the other groupD. mimicry makes the mimicker feel bad58. According
25、to the passage, which of the following will be likely to show the right change of the tip percentages?Tip ($)50 100 150 Bill ($)302010Tip ($)50 100 150 Bill ($)302010Tip ($)50 100 150 Bill ($)302010Tip ($)50 100 150 Bill ($)302010A B C D59.

31、y bulletin board.CIn a health magazine.DIn a doctors prescriptionCIts hard to track the blue whale, which has almost been killed off by commercial whaling. Attaching radio devices to it is difficult and visual sightings are too unreliable to give real insight into its behavior.So biologists were del
32、ighted early this year when, with the help of the US Navy, they are able to track a particular blue whale for 43 days recording its sounds. This was possible because of the Navys former top secret system of underwater listening devices across the oceans.Tracking whales is but one example of an excit
33、ing new world just opening to civilian scientists after the cold war as the Navy starts to share and partly uncover its global network of underwater listening system built over the decades to track the ships of potential enemies.Earth scientists announced at a news conference recently that they had
34、used the system for closely observing a deep-sea volcanic eruption for the first time and that they planned similar studies. Other scientists have proposed to use the network for tracking ocean currents and measuring changes in the ocean and global temperatures. Different layers of ocean water can a
35、ct as channels for sounds focusing them in the same way a stethoscope(听诊器) does when it carries faint noises from a patients chest to a doctors ear. This focusing is the main reason that even relatively weak sounds in the ocean, especially low-frequency ones, can often travel thousands of miles.64.
36、The underwater listening system was originally designed _.A. to trace and locate enemy shipsB. to observe deep sea volcanic eruptionsC. to study the movement of ocean currentsD. to replace the global radio communications network65. The deep-sea listening system makes use of _.A. the ability of sound

What can we infer from the passage?A. New radio devices are developed for tra

Military technology has great potential in civilian use.67. What is the passage chiefly about?A. An effort to protect an endangered marine species.B. The civilian
39、 use of a military detection system.C. The exposure of a US Navy top-secret weapon.D. A new way to look into the behavior of blue whales.DI needed to buy a digital camera, one that was simply good at taking good snaps (快照), maybe occasionally for magazines. Being the cautious type, I fancied a relia
40、ble brand. So I went on the net, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations and headed for my nearest big friendly camera store. There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list. And it was on special offer. I pointed at it and
41、 asked an assistant, “Can I have one of those?”? He looked perturbed (不安). “Do you want to try it first?” he said. It didnt quite sound like a question. “Do I need to?” I replied ,“There is nothing wrong with it？” This made him look a bit insulted and I started to feel bad. “No, no. But you should t
42、ry it,” he said encouragingly. “Compare it with the others. ” I looked across at the others: shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering a wide range of slightly different prices and discounts, with each company selling a range of models based around the same basic box. With so many m
43、odels to choose from, it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y, always trying to take Z and possibly H into account at the same time. But when I had finished, I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with: first, soon after I carried my new
44、 camera out of the shop, it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model. But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps by making the right choice, the clever choice, the wise choice. In the end, I agre
45、ed to try the model I had chosen. The assistant seemed a sincere man. So I let him take out of my chosen camera from cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers and when he started to introduce the special features, I interrupted to ask whether I needed to buy a carry-case an
46、d a memory card as well. Why do we think that new options still offer us anything new? Perhaps it is because they offer an opportunity to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine.68. The shop assistant insisted that the writer sho
47、uld_. A. try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with it. B. compare the camera he had chosen with the others. C. get more information about different companies. D. trust him and stop asking questions. 69. What does the writer mean by “it would be worth half what I paid for it ”(paragraph
48、2)A. He should get a 50% discount. B. The price of the camera was unreasonably high. C. The quality of the camera was not good. D. The camera would soon fall in value. 70. The writer decided to try the model he had chosen because he_. A. knew very little about it. B. didnt trust the shop assistantC.
49、 wanted to make sure the one he chose would be the best. D. had a special interest in taking pictures of his fellow shoppers. 71. It can be inferred from the passage that in the writers opinion_. A. people waste too much money on camerasB. cameras have become an important part of our daily lifeC. we
