The porter(行李搬運(yùn)工) 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 of one thing:“How much should I tip(付小費(fèi))him?” To make your next trip a little easier, here’s guide to tipping across some Asian countries.
Bangkok(曼谷)
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 your tacking on(附加)the 10% yourself.However, if you’re eating at a lower-end 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 baht(泰國(guó)貨幣單位),depending on how many bags you have.Taxis are now metered in Bangkok.Local custom is to round up(湊整數(shù))the fare to the nearest five baht.
Hong Kong
Tipping is customary in this money-mad 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 10% to the bill, up to HKMYMl00 in an especially nice restaurant.For HK MYM10 hotel porters should do it at all but the nicest hotels where a new HKMYM20 bill may be more acceptable.When in a taxi, round up to the nearest dollar.
Kuala Lumpur(吉隆坡)
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 charge.
But at local restaurants, there’s no need to add a tip. At five-star hotels, one or two ringgit(馬來(lái)西亞貨幣單位)will satisfy a porter. At lower-end buildings don’t feel you have to tip Like Bangkok, many taxis are now metered so you can just round up to the nearest ringgit.
Seoul
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(燒烤處), there’s no need to add anything extra.But a nice Italian restaurant may require a 10% contribution.
If you’re at a top-end hotel, so expect to pay 500~l,000 won per bag.Taxi drivers don’t accept a tip.Keep the change for yourself.
【小題1】Which of the following is NOT the unit of money?.

A.ChargeB.BahtC.WonD.Ringgit
【小題2】In which of the following cities is it unnecessary to tip the taxi-drivers?
A.BangkokB.HongkongC.Kuala LumpurD.Seoul
【小題3】If you stay at a five-star hotel in Kuala Lumpur, how much will you pay the porter at least?
A.10% of service chargeB.Three ringgitC.Half a ringgitD.One ringgit
【小題4】The writer seems

C.to ask the readers to go on a travel to Asian cities
D.to make the trip more pleasant

第二節(jié) 讀寫(xiě)任務(wù)(共l小題,滿(mǎn)分25分)

閱讀下面的短文,然后按照要求寫(xiě)一篇150詞左右的英語(yǔ)短文。

Most people remember their teachers as some kind of despotic(專(zhuān)制的)person although it isn't always the truth. Most of them are quite nice and are always there to give us a hand when we need one. Not so long ago, you might think the teacher was The Teacher and was almighty(萬(wàn)能的)and the students were there to learn and nothing else. Now there is some kind of interactivity(相互活動(dòng))between the students and the teacher. To my mind, teachers are here to teach us their knowledge and to listen to what we have to say. Indeed, students aren't afraid to tell them what they think any more. However, this doesn’t mean that they don't control their troops. It is just because times and methods have changed. Our teachers are now closer to their students and have created some kind of soft climate that allows us to be in class without a feeling of obligation(責(zé)任)or what so ever. Nevertheless, we can but notice that the "power" is still in the teachers' hands. If something goes wrong it is up to him or her to react properly and to carry out punishment if it is necessary.

(A)如何和老師友好相處;

(B)與老師和諧相處的好處;

(C)用事例說(shuō)明和諧的師生關(guān)系對(duì)你的成長(zhǎng)有何影響。

【寫(xiě)作要求】

1. 在作文中可以使用自己親身的經(jīng)歷或虛構(gòu)的故事,也可以參照閱讀材料的內(nèi)容但不得直接引用原文中的句子;

【評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)】
