cane fields I would walk behind an ox guiding him with a broomstick For 1 a day I worked eight hours straight with no food breaks It was very tedious work but it prepared me for life and taught me many lasting lessons Because the plantation owners were always watching us I had to be on time every day and work as hard as I could I ve never been late for any job since I also learned about being respectful and faithful to the people you work for More important I earned my pay it never entered my mind to say I was sick just because I didn t want to work I was only six years old but I was doing a man s job Our family needed every dollar we could make because my father never earned more than 18 a week Our home was a three room wood shack with a dirty floor and no toilet Nothing made me prouder than bringing home money to help my mother father two brothers and three sisters This gave me self esteem 自尊心 one of the most important things a person can have When I was seven I got work at a golf course near our house My job was to stand down the fairway and spot the balls as they landed so the golfers could find them Losing a ball meant you were fired so I never missed one Some nights I would lie in bed and dreamt of making thousands of dollars by playing golf and being able to buy a bicycle The more I dreamed the more I thought Why not I made my first golf club out of guava limb 番石榴树枝 and a piece of pipe Then I hammered an empty tin can into the shape of a ball And finally I dug two small holes in the ground and hit the ball back and forth I practiced with the same devotion and intensity I learned working in the field except now I was driving golf balls with club not oxen with a broomstick 2 41 The writer s first job was A to stand down the fairway at a golf course B to

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 waiter s choice of words to how they carry themselves while taking orders to the bill s total Even how much 3 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 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 Baaren 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 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 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 cabdrivers hair stylists they found tip percentages in these three areas dropped as customers bills went up 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 That s 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 weren t there you d never get any service So part of the idea of a tip is for just being there 45 Apart from service how many other factors affecting the customers tipping are mentioned in the passage A 1 B 2 C 3 D 4 46 These studies show that A tipping can be affected by physical reactions to many different waiter s factors B people who are being mimicked usually tip less to the person who mimics 4 them C the mimic waiters can get almost

48 We know from the passage that the writer seems to A object to Mr Green s idea about tipping B think part of Mr Green s explanation is reasonable C give his generous tip to waiters very often D support the opinions of Mr Green and Rick van Baaren about tipping 参考答案 45 48 CBAC 结束 完形填空 Words 266 难度系数 建议用时 15 分钟 2012 山东威海高三质量监测 We always want what we cannot have When we re young we want to stay
