15、at a restaurant, theres a very important difference you should know about. US people have a custom to give money to waiters and waitresses as a tip for their work.But why is this? Shouldnt waiters get paid enough by their bosses? Well, many waiters and waitresses get paid below the US minimum wage (

16、最低工资) and work for tips to make up for that. According to the American travel website TripAdvisor, some states pay their servers (服务员) only $2.13 (about 14 yuan) per hour.While no one makes you tip, if you are at a sit-down restaurant, it is usually expected that you tip your waiter 15 to 20 percent

17、 of what your bill is.Its not just for waiters either. Hotel maids, hairdressers and taxi drivers also usually work for tips. But it is much more expected to tip waiters.The US hasnt always had this tipping culture. In fact, people were mostly against it until the Prohibition Era (禁酒令时代) in the 1920

18、s. The government said no one could sell alcohol (酒). Then, restaurants had trouble making enough money. So they started to ask people to tip their waiters.This tipping culture has lasted through the years, but most people dont like it. Some think restaurant bosses use it as an excuse to not pay the

19、ir workers well. There isnt much action being taken to make a change yet.

22、ding instead of driving. The bike that the service company provides has GPS or Bluetooth on it, and those bikes can be easily unlocked with a smart phone and left anywhere in public.

24、phone with the bike over a Bluetooth wireless connection. You will find the bike can be unlocked itself. Then you can enjoy your trip. Whats more, the greatest advantage of bikesharing is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. The cost of riding depends on the time that

25、 you spend. Normally, every hour you ride, you need to pay one yuan. It doesnt cost so much, does it?At the same time, some people park the bikes in their own homes. Besides, some people dont value the bikes. Now service companies are trying to solve the problem like being stolen. Technology and sci
