A man claiming to be a pastor(牧师) apparently tried to stiff a waiter on a tip, explaining that his work for God allowed him not to leave one. A photo of the receipt, posted to R, shows a bill for $34.93 with an automatic 18 percent gratuity(
16、小费) (or $6.29) added above a blank space for an additional tip. “I give God 10%,” the diner wrote on the receipt, scratching out the automatic tip. “Why do you get 18?” He then wrote “Pastor” above his signature, and an emphatic “0” where the additional tip would be. (The automatic gratuity, however
17、, had already been added to the total.)The Reddit user who submitted the image explained in the comments section that the receipt was part of a total bill for a party of 20, which is why the gratuity was automatically added.“Parties up to eight . may tip whatever theyd like, but larger parties recei
18、ve an automatic gratuity, the server wrote. Its in the computer; its not something I do.”The server added: “They had no problem with my service, and told me I was great. They just didnt want to pay when the time came.” Scribbling(乱涂) notes on receipts has become something of a trend. Earlier this mo
19、nth, the manager of a North Carolina Red Robin surprised an overdue pregnant woman by comping her meal.“Once seated, a manager came up to us and started talking,” the womans husband told Consumerist. “He was extremely friendly and jokingly asked my wife if this was her last meal before heading to th
20、e hospital.”When the check came, a note from the manager next to her portion of the bill read: “MOM 2 BEE GOOD LUC.”“It was a pleasant surprise and made my tired-of-being-pregnant wife a little more cheery,” the man said.31. What did the pastor mean by saying, “I give God 10%. Why do you get 18?”A.
21、He was bargaining with the waiter.B. He didnt mean to pay the gratuity at all.C. God gave him the privilege not to pay a gratuity.D. The gratuity had already been paid by his friends.32. What do you learn from the article?A. The pastor paid ten percent gratuity of the meal to God.B. A party of six d
22、iners can choose whatever gratuity they want to pay.C. According to the husband, the wife enjoyed the process of being pregnant.D. The pastor paid $34.93 in total for the meal.33. What does the underlined word “stiff” mean?A. amuse B. abuse C. persuade D. fail to payB. It is easy for us to tell our
23、friends from our enemies. But can other animals do the same? Elephants can! They can use their sense of vision and smell to tell the difference between people who pose a threat and those who do not. In Kenya, researchers have found that elephants react differently to clothing worn by men of the Maas
24、ai and Kamba ethnic groups. Young Maasai men spear animals and thus pose a threat to elephants; Kamba men are mainly farmers and are not a danger to elephants. In an experiment conducted by animal scientists, elephants were first presented with clean clothing or clothing that had been worn for five
25、days by either a Maasai or a Kamba man. When the elephants detected the smell of clothing worn by a Maasai man, they moved away from the smell faster and took longer to relax than when they detected the smells of either clothing worn by Kamba men or clothing that had not been worn at all. Garment co
26、lor also plays a role, though in a different way. In the same study, when the elephants saw red clothing not worn before, they reacted angrily, as red is typically worn by Maasai men. Rather than running away as they did with the smell, the elephants acted aggressively toward the red clothing. The r
27、esearchers believe that the elephants emotional reactions are due to their different interpretations of the smells and the sights. Smelling a potential danger means that a threat is nearby and the best thing to do is run away and hide. Seeing a potential threat without its smell means that risk is l
28、ow. Therefore, instead of showing fear and running away, the elephants express their anger and become aggressive. 34. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? A. Maasai people are a threat to elephants. B. Kamba people raise elephants for farming. C. Both Kamba and Maasai
29、 people are elephant hunters. D. Both Kamba and Maasai people traditionally wear red clothing. 35. How did the elephants react to smell in the study?A. They attacked a man with the smell of new clothing. B. They needed time to relax when smelling something unfamiliar. C. They became anxious when the
30、y smelled Kamba-scented clothing. D. They were frightened and ran away when they smelled their enemies. 36. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Elephants attack people who wear red clothing. B. Elephants use sight and smell to detect danger. C. Scientists are now able to control elephants emotions. D. Some Kenyan tribes understand elephants emotions very well. 37. What can be inferred about the elephants behavior from this passage?A. Elephants learn from their experiences. B. Elephants have sharpe
