Graham Corbett had not seen his son，Andy Spiers－Corbett，since he was about two years old.Mr Spiers－Corbett，now 39，finally found his father after he typed his name into Facebook last month and picked him out of a list of Graham Corbetts on the site.
Mr Spiers－Corbett said，“It has always been on my mind.I felt I just didn’t have a history；it felt like it needed to be done.I had tried before on Facebook but no one came up，but when I tried this time there were about 15 Graham Corbetts.I looked through them all and there were a few I thought could be him.Then his face appeared.My heart started beating，and there were tears in my eyes and I knew it was him.It was like looking at myself when I’m 60.”
He contacted his father and they decided to meet.Mr Spiers－Corbett was also introduced to his two half－brothers and half－sister.He said，“It was strange，but my father had told them about me so it was like I had been in their lives anyway.It was easier for them because they knew about me，and they greeted me with open arms and hugs.”
Mr Corbett met his 11－year－old grandson from his son’s previous marriage.He said，“It’s absolutely unbelievable.I’ve been looking for him for so long.” He had sent a birthday card in April to someone he thought was his son but he turned out to be the wrong person.“Once we got talking on the phone he said he wanted to come to see me so he came round at 7：30 pm that night—he didn’t leave until 3：30 am.We just talked and talked and talked.It’s just great to have him back，” he added.

How much money do you leave the waiter in a restaurant？
Tipping is complex，and e ven more so when you’re abroad.
In Australia，tipping isn’t common at all，and tips aren’t really expected in restaurants.It’s the same in Iceland and China.And in Japan，it can actually beconsidered rude to tip in a restaurant.In fact，if you leave money a waiter might even chase you to give it back.In most of Europe，tipping a waiter is fairly common.In England，most people tip around 10% of the bill.But in Spain people generally only leave small change.
However，if there’s one country where you really should tip，it’s the United States.Americans usually tip up to 20% in restaurants.So，if you’re saving up for a big dinner in the US，make sure you take that into account.Americans also tip for drinks.In fact，there are some bars in New York where staff earn such big money from tips that they receive no wages (工资)．Some people even pay to work there!
But why is there so much tipping？Well，in many cases，workers are paid below the lowest wage as they’re expected to make up the difference with tips.As a result，a server could earn a high wage on a good night，or hardly break even (收支相抵) on a_slow_night.Workers in service industries are even expected to pay income tax (所得税) on the tips as they’re considered part of their normal wages for the job they do—not just “extra” money.
So，as you can see，tipping in the US is a serious business.There’s even a website () for celebrity tippers.Under the column heading “Scum”，you can find a list of the bad tippers.And under “Saints” there’s a list of the generous tippers.
语篇解读本文是说明文。

在中国，给服务员小费似乎没有必要。

但在英美国家，给小费却有讲究。

A．different unbelievable reasons to tip

6．If you have a big dinner costing $350 in New York，how much are you expected to pay in total?

解析：细节理解题。

根据第三段的Americans usually tip up to 20% in restaurants 可知，如果你在纽约消费350美元，通常要多付20%的小费(70美元)，实际支付的账单为420美元。

答案： D
7．Tipping is common in the US because workers________.
A．earn a low wage
B．win the guests’respect
C．achieve their aims in life
D．deserve celebrities’attention
