体裁:说明文
难易度:☆☆☆
On a weekend during the Spring Festival, my parents and I were sitting in a restaurant. The drinks and food were good, so when we finished, my father left a tip(小费). As we were about to open the door, the waiter caught up with us. He gave the tip back to us. My dad forgot that here is China, and tipping is not common.
However, in some countries, tipping is normal. That's the way it is in the USA. It's said to be good manners to tip your waiter, taxi driver, hairdresser, doorman and so on. And how much you tip depends on the service, which can really put your maths skills to the test! But we usually give a tip that is $15\%-20\%$ of the bill.
So why is there a strong custom of tipping? In the USA, waiters have a very low income(收入). They depend on tips to pay their bills(账单). As a USA writer once wrote about her experience as a waitress, "It was difficult and I lived and died by my tips."
1. What did the family think of the drinks and food in the restaurant?(不超过10词)
2 -4. Fill in the blanks according to the passage.
5. What's your understanding of "I lived and died by my tips"? Use your own words.(不超过10词)
