25、In Los Angeles, a waiter served a group of teens. The waiter remembered his experience as a young high school student. So he made sure the teens had a nice experience at the restaurant. The waiter made sure of it. After serving all the teens and doing great job, he was left a tip (小费), only $3.28. That was hardly enough to buy a cup of coffee. The waiter went home. And he felt unhappy for the students who did not know the value (价值) of hard work. He thought they looked down on people like him.

After several days, the waiter forgot about it. His life went on as usual. But ten days later, he received a letter from the teens.

“About a week and a half ago, on October 7, my three friends and I came to eat at this restaurant. It was an exciting experience for us to be here alone, and it was all new to us. And you were the best waiter in this restaurant. You were kind, helpful, and didn’t treat us like babies! So I want to say thank you for making our ‘grown-up’ experience so amazing and fun. I would also like to say sorry on behalf of (代表) my group. Because we were new to all of this, our 13-year-old minds didn’t exactly know how to deal with the bill (账单). The bill was reasonable (合乎情理), but we had completely forgotten (and didn’t know, to be honest) what a tip even was and how much to give. So we emptied our pocket, and all our money added up to $3.28. Having no idea of how small this really was, we left. Later, we realized our mistakes and felt sorry. We knew we had to make it right. So together with this letter, you will find the correct 18% tip. Thank you for your help and kindness and also thank you for making our night fun. Thank you!”

26、Thomas Edison lit up the world with his invention of the electric light. Without him, the world might still be in the dark. However, the electric light was not his only invention. He also invented the motion picture camera and 1200 other things. About every two weeks he created something new.

Thomas Edison was born in 1847. He attended school for only three months. His mother taught him at home, but Thomas was mostly self-educated. He started experimenting at a young age.

When he was 12 years old, he got his first job. He became a newsboy on a train. He did experiments on the train in his free time. Unluckily, his first work experience did not end well. They fired him when he accidentally set fire to the floor of the train. Then Edison worked for five years as a telegraph operator, but he continued to spend much of his time in experimenting his first patent(专利权) in 1868 for a vote recorder run by electricity.

Edison was totally deaf in one ear and hard of hearing in the other, but he thought of his deafness as a blessing(福分) in many ways. It kept conversations short, so that he could have more time for work. He always worked 16 out of every 24 hours. Sometimes his wife had to remind him to sleep and eat.

27、As someone who’s been studying English for many years now, you might think you know the English language pretty well. But if you overheard a British person say, “A Billy left some bees and honey in my sherbet (冰冻果露) last night,” would you understand what they meant?

Probably not, but many native speakers may not know what this person was saying either.

The example above was a sentence that a London taxi driver might say to another member of his or her tribe. In plain English, the sentence would be, “A customer left some money in my cab last night.”

So, what exactly is meant by “tribe”?

A recent article on the BBC Culture website pointed out that nearly all of us are a part of a tribe.

This is a group that defines (定义) who we are and even how we speak. And with each tribe comes its own “secret language”, as the BBC called it.

If you work in a certain industry – education, for example – you may use slang words (俚语) and acronyms (首字母缩略词) that only other people who work in that industry would understand. Or if you live in a certain city, you might use a slang word to describe a landmark (地标) in the city, that only locals would understand.

These secret words don’t always stay within their tribes, however. Words from many tribes, especially musical cultures such as rap and hip-hop, often enter people’s everyday vocabulary. For example, the phrase “to have beef” – meaning “to be in a conflict(冲突，争执)” – was made by US rappers. Today, it’s widely used by native English speakers all over the world.

As BBC reporter Susie Dent wrote, “We hear amazing secret languages every day, full of history and stories and in-jokes. And one thing is certain: our tribal conversations will never be finished.”

【1】The example at the beginning of the text is mainly used to ________.

A．prove(证明) that English is hard to learn

B．explain the meaning of tribes

C．teach readers how to communicate with London taxi drivers

D．show how the languages of tribes are often difficult for outsiders (局外人) to understand

【2】What can we know about secret languages?

A．They mostly came from musical cultures.

B．Some words from them are popular in everyday conversation.

C．They first started in London in the 1980s.

D．They have failed to become popular among young people.

【3】What is Dent’s attitude(态度)toward the future of secret languages?

A．Confident.

B．Worried.

C．Uninterested.

D．Objective (客观的).
