26、Different countries have different tipping customs. When you travel, you need to know how to tip in the country that you’re in; otherwise you’ll leave servers angry everywhere you go.Here are just a few guidelines to tipping around the world.
Brazil
There will always be a standard 10% service charge added to your bill, and you won’t necessarily have to tip. If you do feel like being generous, an extra 5-10% will really make your server very happy. Just remember to do this as skillfully as possible—Brazilians don’t make a big show of this.
Dubai
In Dubai it’s a rule for restaurants to charge 10% tip on all restaurant and bar bills. You can add a couple of dirhams(迪拉姆,货币单位)to this if you feel like it. Waiters are not paid very much in Dubai, so it is always very appreciated.
Germany
German bars and restaurants will include the tip as part of what you owe, but that’s not all you have to pay. It is a custom to round the bill up after that, usually to the euro. This can be anywhere from 5-10%. When it’s time to settle up, you won’t get a bill: your waiter tells you the total and then you tell them how much you want to pay, including your “tip”, and hand over the money.
Czech Republic
While locals in the Czech Republic don’t leave tips, that doesn’t mean you’re off the hook.Foreign tourists are definitely expected to leave some kind of tip for service—as long as you’re in a high tourist traffic area, like Prague for instance. The standard tip is 10%.
India
If you like the service, go ahead and tip your server 5-10%. You have to adjust that amount though, based on how big the meal you’re eating is. If the bill is for a small meal, and totals less than 300 rupees, tip the full 10%. If the bill is higher, tip towards the 5%.
【1】In which country do customers have to tip at least 10% for the service?
A.Dubai
B.India
C.Germany
D.Czech Republic
【2】Which country has different tip cultures between citizens and foreigners?
A.Dubai
B.Germany
C.India
D.Czech Republic
【3】If your bill is 2000 rupees in India, it is proper for you to tip________ rupees.
A.10
B.80
C.120
D.200

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
It was 【1】that students did not write details of how they arrived at their answers or conclusions. I decided to help students write in more detail about what they were thinking when they solved their problems or when they wrote about their ideas.
I chose a common, everyday task that all of us 【2】 in: choosing what to wear. When I asked them how they decided what they wore that day, there was a(n) 【3】 moment of silence. It seemed a 【4】 silly question. A few just said “they wore what they wore.” This was a perfect beginning as it was the same kind of response they were giving as to how they were getting their math answers. I told them how I decided what I wore that day.
First I checked the weather in the paper and by looking outside. I had to decide between wearing a dress or skirt since either one could make a difference in the 【5】 I wish to give. Most of the girls related to this one. I had to be sure what I wanted to wear was clean and ironed. They 【6】 no one ironed clothes any more. I had to check to see if I had shoes that went with the possible outfit. I thought about what I had worn 【7】 as I usually don’t wear the same clothes in the same week. I thought about the color I felt like wearing. I thought about the 【8】 I would be doing that day both at school and after school.
Each new consideration brought out comments from the students. I could expand on each or just mention it and go on, 【9】 on how long I wanted the lesson to go. After this discussion, it was clear to students that their thinking process is richer than they first suspected. It was a good lesson for showing details of the thinking process of which we weren’t 【10】.
