Once upon a time, there were two birds. They were twins and lived at the edge of a forest. One of them settled near a cave where some robbers lived. The other lived near the house of a kind old man.
One day, a hunter came to the forest. He saw a hare and ran after it. Unfortunately, he lost his way and didn’t know where he was.
He walked for a long time and finally he came to the edge of the forest. He was very tired, so he sat down under a tree that stood near the cave. Suddenly, he heard someone shouting, “Hurry up! There’s someone sitting under the tree. Come and take his money!” The hunter was surprised by the voice. He looked up and saw a big brown bird in the tree. He also heard noises coming out of the cave. He quickly stood up and ran away as fast as he could.
Soon, he came to the place where the kind old man lived. He saw a big tree and sat down to have a rest. Again, he heard a gentle voice saying,“Welcome, sir. Please come in and make yourself at home.” The hunter looked up and saw another big brown bird in the tree. He was amazed. “This one looks just like the other bird near the cave,” he said to himself aloud.
“He is my brother, sir,” said the bird. “He has made friends with those robbers.”
Just then, the old man came out of his house. “Welcome, sir,” he said to the hunter, “Please come in and make yourself at home.”
The hunter told the old man about the two birds he had met and how differently they had behaved. The old man smiled and said, “One takes the behavior of one’s company (同伴). The bird living near the cave imitated the robbers and talked about robbing people. The one living near my house just repeated what he had heard. He always welcomes people to the house.”

Three people were sitting around a table in a restaurant in Brazil. How much do you think each of them will tip (给小费) The British asked, “It’s common to t ip 10 percent, right?” The American woman cried, “Oh, I was planning to leave 20 percent!” And the Chinese asked, “What’s a tip?”
Although it is not a custom to tip in China, tipping is a big deal in Western countries. Usually, people give tips to a waiter or waitress when they eat in a restaurant. The US tops the list of the biggest restaurant tips, with waiters and waitresses expecting to get 10 to 25 percent of the total bill. So if you order $100 worth of food, you are expected to pay your waiter at least $10, making your total payment $110.
But why is this? 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 American travel website Advisory, some states pay their servers only $2.13 per hour.
It is not just for waiters, either. Hotel maids, hairdressers and taxi drivers also usually work for tips.
Besides the US, tipping is also popular in some Southeast Asian countries, such as Indonesia and Thailand. However, in Japan there is a no-tipping culture and you may actually offend (冒犯) the waiter if you try to give him money.

( )57. If you order $150 worth of food in America, how much tip is common?
A. $10.
B. $ 22.5.
C. $ 45.
D. $75.
( )58. Why is tipping important in the US?
A. Because American people are the richest in the world.
B. Because the waiters and waitresses offer the best service.
C. Because the food in the restaurant is cheap and delicious.

( )59. Which of the following jobs can get tips?

Our mother language is a very intimate (亲近的) thing to us. For people who speak an ancient tongue as their mother language, it helps them keep their traditions. 61 And it is also how they imagine the future.
So it’s a serious thing that a language disappears. Over the last century, more than 400 languages have died out. 62 Africa and South America are also places where many languages are dying.
Why are humans speaking fewer languages than we once did? The answer has to do with globalization (全球化). 63 English is one example. This has killed some languages, usually ones spoken by fewer or less influential people.
Our earth is becoming a planet with fewer and fewer languages. 64 The United Nations has set Feb 21 as International Mother Language Day. The organization wants people to pay more attention to dying languages.
This work is very important. As the US writer Rita Mae Brown wrote, “ 65 It tells where its people come from and where they are going.”
