四川省甘孜州2020年中考英语试卷
On a weekend during 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 the norm. That's the way it is in the US. 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 math 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 US, waiters have a very low income(收入). They depend on tips to pay their bills. As a US writer once wrote about her experience as a waitress, "It was difficult and I lived and died by my tips."
In America, there are chores for children of different ages. American people think it's important to tell children their duty in the family. They think that a 2-year-old child is never too young to do chores. If you have no ideas, use this list of age chores for your children.
Ages 2-3 Help make the bed. Pick up(收拾) toys and books. Take the dirty clothes to the launder( 洗衣机) room. Help feed pets. | Ages 4-5 Clear and set the table. Help cook dinner. |
Ages 6-8 Look after pets. Take out the rubbish. | Ages 9-12 Help wash the car. Learn to wash the dishes. Clean the bathroom. |
