Part B

Directions: Read the texts from a magazine article in which five people talk about tipping in a restaurant. For questions 36-40, match the name of each person to one of the statements (A-G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSER SHEET.

Passage 1 Richard:

I`ve always viewed tipping as a way of saying “thank you〞 to the one who serves me. I believe what is bad is when no tip is left at all. The better the service, the higher the tip. Unless the service is literally perfect, I never tip more than 10% of the bill. Much like the harder teachers in school, I never give an easy “A.〞 My assessment is honest.

Daniel:

A tip is a “thank you〞, but in truth, a tip is a payment for service. 20% is a standard tip. Service deserve it for their hard work. Restaurant will never pay more for labor unless they are forced to do by new laws. Tips make up about 97% of a servicer`s total income. Those tips are needed for survival. So before servers are paid a living wage, tip 20%. Kate:

Why should I pay the difference between what the restaurant is willing to pay the employee and what an acceptable wage is? I do pay 20%, but I hate it. A friend of mine left Europe for New York City, found a job in a restaurant there and ended up making $5,500 a month. Enough above minimum wage? How about miners, construction workers, resident doctors, etc? Do they get tipped? Patricia:

18-20% for good service is today`s standard. The restaurant and its employees are too polite to tell you this or to put it on their menus, but that is their expectation and you need to understand that. I believe it is good manners to respect this. To do otherwise is to be openly rude. If you disagree, you are wise to eat elsewhere, as you are hunting a hardworking professional. Michael:

Tipping has gotten out of control. I always had thought it was 15%, and now suddenly servers have made it 20%. I tip 15%, that`s it. If the service is really superior, then I work higher from there. Interesting to be told, “If you can`t afford to tip 20%, then you should eat at home.〞 If all those people stayed away, the restaurant would not even be in business.

Now match the name of each person (36-40) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.

36. Richard [A] It`s rude not to tip.

37. Daniel [B] I do tip, though I don`t like it. 38. Kate [C] Tipping shouldn`t be compulsory. 39. Patricia [D] Tips are essential to servers` survival.

40. Michael [E] If you don`t tip, you are punishing the server.

[F] I don`t think the current tipping standard is too high. [G] My tip faithfully reflects how good the service is.

Passage 2

Directions：

Read the texts in which five people are commenting on a magazine article called “The Global Fish Crisis〞. For question 36 to 40, match the name of each person (36 to 40) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers ANSWER SHEET. Charles Swecker:

Thank you for getting it right in your articles on how to make a better student. As an educator, I' m sure I speak for others in saying parents who encourage learning at home ultimately have kids who perform at a higher level in class. School systems have been trying to get that message out for years. Imagine, excellent teachers working with students who have a drive and desire to learn. What a perfect world! Sandy Simonson:

The students you pictured have positive attitudes; they expect to work hard on their own. Consequently, the effort they put in produces positive results. But my sons are different. They see their parents read. They were read to at home. We’ve encouraged and praised the genuine efforts they’ve made. But the bottom line for my sons is that until something fires them up from within, they are content to do as little work as possible. Bridget Boyle:

Parents should do these things to make their child a better student: turn off the television. Fill every room with books. Play, read, travel, and then read some more with your kids. If reading be-comes the primary form of entertainment in the home, youngsters will turn to books. It was my pleasure to catch them reading on their own. Killing our television was the best thing we ever did. Deborah Curtin:

Your report provided a glimpse into the life of young geniuses, but nobody made these kids better students. Each one can obviously grasp any task. Each could have been left in a box with a book and would have ended up self-taught. You did, however, confirm my belief that most teachers are only capable of communicating information to ready-made A students. Of course, there are a few good teachers, but they cannot overcome the defective system we have. Alan Holman:

I don’t think that the success of students really depends on marks. I just finished writing my second average-length stage play, which is going to be produced at my high school. And I' m also playing a part in Hamlet. Despite all these really great things, my marks in school are really bad. I pay more attention to my hobbies than to school, and it’s actually getting mc somewhere. So marks aren't everything.

Now match the name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements

Passage 3

Directions：

Read the texts in which five people are commenting on a magazine article called “The Global Fish Crisis〞. For question 36 to 40, match the name of each person (36 to 40) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers ANSWER SHEET. Mike:

Praise often and sincerely--it’s as simple as that. Employees want to feel needed and appreciated. By offering sincere praise with examples about what they did right, you'll go far in creating an energetic team． Meanwhile, I don't agree with the assertion that \"to focus on what needs improving isn`t good management. In fact, it' s the balance of praise along with constructive criticism that drives employees to work smarter and reach higher．

Frank:

This article makes a valid point that needs to be understood, especially for the new generation of workers, my generation． We don' t see ourselves as parts in the machine to be put in the dark to work． My generation needs respect in return from our employer, we need to feel appreciated beyond just a pay check, it' s the difference between being fulfilled at our career and being sad at our job．

Joyce:

One skill missing in today's workplace is the ability to build effective business relationships．At the core of that relationship is the need for consistent feedback． \"How am I doing?\" is a question that should be answered consistently． When you tell an employee once a year what is needed to improve, you have not done your job as a leader--build skills, provide feedback and help the employee grow and develop．

Ellen:

I don' t see a problem with praising employees when it' s truly deserved ( insincere praise is an entirely different story)．It' s a cost-free \"benefitheir efforts are both noticed and valued． In the work world there are always people available to tell that you are doing something wrong and far too few occasions when employees are told that they've done something right! Diana:

Praise what the employee did． Be specific about why it was helpful． An employee who continually earns your praise also deserves your attention as to how else to reward their behavior． Meaningful praise encourages people beyond anything else． Written comments are available for later re-view．They give them confidence that they can \"do it again． \" I never regretted praising an employee who deserved it but often kicked myself for missing an opportunity． Now match the name of each person (36 to 40) to the appropriate statement
