And it can be more exciting if there are dolphins swimming around and jumping out of the sea too. For many people， it woul

31、d be a wonderful dream to swim with these lovely animals! However， this may not be good for dolphins. They may get hurt because of human interaction (互动).Dolphins are active and usually look for food at night. In the day， they like to rest in shallow bays(浅湾). Many people think the dolphins are awak

32、e during the day as they swim. But when they sleep they rest half of their brain and keep the other half awake to breathe， so they may be sleeping even when theyre swimming in the water.From 2010 to 2013， spinner dolphins (飞旋海豚) of Hawaiis Big Island appeared to human activities more than 82 percent

33、 of the time， according to Julian Tyne， a researcher at Australias Murdoch University.The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says disturbing the animals in their near-shore habitat could force them to swim to less pleasant places where they may be attacked by sharks and other ani

Thus， they cant get enough sleep. “Disturbing their resting behaviors can actually affect their long term health and the health of the dolphin population.” Ann Garrett of NOAAs National Marine Fisheries Service said.As a result， the

35、 NOAA wants to make rules to help protect the dolphins. For example， people may not be allowed to swim with the Hawaii spinner dolphins.

His books are very popular with young readers. They enjoy the invented words and the pictures of unusual funny animals and plants.In 1954, li

39、fe magazine published(刊登) a report about school children who could not read. The report said many childrens books were not interesting. Doctor Seuss strongly hoped to help children and decided to write books that were interesting and easy to read. He used words with the same ending sound, like fish

40、and wish. He did not receive training in art. Yet he drew the pictures for most of his books.In 1957, Dr. Seuss wrote The Cat in the Hat. He used less than 230 words to write the book and even a six-year-old kid should be able to read it. It was a fun story and easy to read. Children loved it. Their

41、 parents loved it, too. Today it is still one of the stories they like best. The success of The Cat in the Hat made him want to write more books for children. In 1960, he wrote a book using less than fifty words. The book is called Green Eggs and Ham. In 1984, Doctor Seuss won a Pulitzer Prize (普利策奖

42、). He was honored for the education and enjoyment his books provided American children and their parents.He died at the age of 87, but his influence remains. Millions of his books have been sold worldwide. People say his books helped change the way American children learned to read. Yet, his books a

43、re loved by people of all ages. Doctor Seuss once said, “I do not write for children.

46、d 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 (最低工资) and work for tips to make up for that. According to the

47、 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 of what your bill is.Its not just for waiters either. Hotel

48、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 1920s. The government said no one could sell alcohol (酒). Then, r

49、estaurants 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 their workers well. There isnt much action being taken to make a

50、 change yet. So for now, be sure to tip your waiter when in the US.1If a server works eight hours a day, he can get from his boss.A$2.13 B$17.04 C￥142Besides waiters and waitresses, also works for tips in the US.Acustomers Btaxi drivers Crestaurant bosses3When the restaurants couldnt sell alcohol, .

55、e?”Mr. Smith was looking at him angrily. Beside him was a policeman. “Doesnt your notice say Meals on the house for three days? Is it just a joke?” the foreign student answered.
