The 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 factors from the waiters choice of words to how they carry themselves while taking orders to the bills total. “Studies before have shown that mimicry (模仿) brings into positive feelings 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 Baren divided 59 waiters into two groups. He requested that half serve with a phrase such as, “Coming 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(实得收入). The results were clear-it pays to mimic your customer. The copycat waiters earned almost double the amount of tips to the other group.Leonard 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, cab drivers, hair stylists, they found tip percentages in these three areas dropped as customers bills went up. “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 something 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. According to the passage, a customer gives the cab driver a tip for _.A. drivers politeness B. being there C. drivers attitudes D. drivers mimicry57. According to the passage, which of the following will be likely to show the right change of the tip percentages for the three areas researched?% 58. According to the passage, we know the writer seems to _. A. oppose Mr. Greens idea about tipping B. support the opinions of Mr. Green and Rick van Baaren about tippingC. give his generous tip to the waiters very oftenD. think part of Mr. Greens explanation is reasonableB “I dont believe in Santa Claus!” Trogmire announced.Tremor looked shocked. “Why not?” he asked.“Because he never leaves me any gifts at all,” Trogmire growled.Tremor thought about the evidence for a few seconds. “Maybe,” he suggested, “its because when Santa checked his list, your name wasnt in the nice column.”“So, he could at least bring me a lump of coal!” Trogmire replied. “And,” he went on, “Troubled doesnt believe in Santa, either.”“Right,” Tremor said, “because he saw his parents putting the From Santa presents under the tree. But I know the truth about that. My mother found out from Troubleds mother. When Troubleds parents got an e-mail from Santa, saying that he would never bring Troubled another gift, they didnt want to tell him the truth. So now they buy presents and pretend theyre from Santa.”“What did Troubled do to get Santa so mad?” Trogmire questioned.“I think it had something to do with the time he put glue paper all over the living room floor on Christmas Eve, and left a sign that said, Trapped like a rat! hanging over the fireplace.” said Tremor.“I guess Santa doesnt have a sense of humour,” sighed Trogmire. “Well, at least Im not the only one who Santa scratched off his name list.”59Why doesnt Santa leave presents for Trogmire or Troubled?ATheir parents wont let him leave gifts.BHe cant find their homes.CHe often forgets their names.DThey have behaved badly.60Trogmire and Troubled dont believe in Santa because _.ASanta has no sense of humorBSanta doesnt give them anything Cthey are too naughty to believeDTremor convinced them he wasnt real61Troubleds parents never _.Atold him about the message from SantaBloved him very muchCcared about how he behaved Dbought him anything62Trogmires last comment could be an example of the saying _.AMisery(苦难,不幸) loves company BEasy come, easy goCBeauty is only skin deepDLove me, love my dogCTo get an extra 14 years of life, dont smoke, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly and drink alcohol in a proper amountThat is according to a study published this Monday in the Public Library of Science Medicine JournalAfter tracking more than 20,000 people aged 45 to 79 years in the United Kingdom from about 1993 to 2007, Kay-Tee Khaw of the University of Cambridge and his colleagues found that people who adopted these four healthy habits lived all average of 14 years longer than those who didnt“Weve known for a long time that these behaviors are good things to do, but weve not seen this benefit before, ”said Susan Jebb, head of Nutrition and Health at Britains Medical Research Council“The benefit was also seen regardless of whether or not people were fat and what social class they came from”Study participants（参与者）scored a point each for not smoking, regular physical activity, eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day and moderate alcohol intakePublic health experts said they hoped the study would inspire governments to introduce policies helping people to adopt these changesBut because the study only observed people rather than testing specific changes, it would be impossible to conclude that people who suddenly adopted these healthy behaviors would surely gain 14 years“We cant say that any person could gain 14 years by doing these things, ”said DrTim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization“The 14 years is an average across the population of whats theoretically（理论上地）possible”“Most people know that things like a good diet matter and that smoking isnt good for them, ”Susan Jebb said“We need to work on providing people with much more practical support to help them change”63. Which of the following DOESNT belong to the four healthy habits?AEat five servings of fruits and vegetables a dayBDo proper exercise in the morning every dayCDrinking alcohol in the proper amount every dayDHaving a cigarette before going to bed every day64. We can learn from the passage that ASusan Jebb did not take part in the studyBthe study observed people as well as tested specific changesCtheres no need for people under 45 to adopt these good habitsDonly those from first class can benefit from these healthy behaviors65. What can be inferred from the passage?AAll the people are well aware of the harm of their bad habitsBPeople aged 45 to 70 have bad habits in the United KingdomCGovernments should take measures to help people change their bad habitsDPeople have adopted the four healthy habits after knowing theyre good66. What would be the best title for this passage?ASmoking and Drinking Cuts You 14 YearsBHow to Live a Much Healthier LifeCHealthy Habits May Give Extra 14 YearsDHow to Make Your Life Longer Than Others DOften we take for granted the many household items we use every day. It is difficult to imagine there was a time in the past when these inventions did not exist. Actually, several of the most common inventions have been with us for quite some time. Inventions like the toothbrush, contact lenses (隐形眼镜), and credit cards came into use long ago. The first toothbrush was introduced in China in the late 1400s, but it was only 300 years later that this simple tool came into common use in Europe. By the nineteenth century, a variety of paste and powder cleaners were available throughout Europe as dental (牙齿的) care became more widespread. The first tube of toothpaste hit the market in Great Britain in 1891. There is evidence to show that the first contact lenses were actually suggested by an astronomer, Sir John Herschel, in 1827. However, Sir John Herschel was never able to create a working model of his idea. It was not until 1887 that a Swiss doctor from Zurich, Dr Eugen Frick, came up with a workable process for producing precision (精密) lenses. Dr Frick designed a new method for producing contact lenses, and the Zeiss factory in Germany began to produce contact lenses. Credit cards have also been available for many years. They have been in use in the United States since the 1920s. At first, these cards were only used to buy gas in the quickly growing automobile service industry. Then, in the 1950s, Diners Club introduced the first general-purpose credit card. Today, credit cards such as Master Card, Visa, and American Express are commonly used by travelers around the world. While it may be true that some of the greatest inventions and discoveries in history came about by chance, the majority of inventions that si
