Richard :
I´ ve always viewed tipping as a way of saying "thank you" to the one who serves me. I be-lieve 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 payment for service.20% is a standard tip. Serv-ers deserve it for their hard work. Restaurants will never pay more for labor unless they are forced to do so by new laws. Tips make up about 97% of a server´ s total income. Those tips arc 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 ! 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 mini-mum 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 dis-agree, you are wise to eat elsewhere, as you are hurting a hardworking professional.
Michael :
Tipping has gotten out of control. I always bad thought it was 15%, and now suddenly servers have made it 20%. I tip 15%, and 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.

第(36)题选
参考答案G
解析:参考译文
理查德：
我总是将给小费视为对服务员的感谢。我认为糟糕的情况是口袋里没有钱可给小费。服务越好，小费就应该越多。除非服务特别好，一般我不会给超过账单10％的小费。就像学校里严厉的老师一样，我从不轻易给A。我的评估是诚实的。
丹尼尔：
小费是一种感谢，但是事实上，小费是服务的费用。小费的标准是20％。服务员的辛勤工作是值得的。餐馆不应该再多支付员工费用除非有新的法律出台。小费占了服务员总收入的97％。这些小费是他们的基本生活费用。因此，在服务员有薪水之前，应该付他们20％的小费。
凯特：
为什么我要支付餐馆发的员工薪水和可接受薪水之间的差价呢?我确实会付20％的小费，但是我讨厌这点。我的一个朋友离开欧洲，在纽约的一间餐馆工作，每月的收入有5500美金。远高于最低薪水了吧?那矿工、建筑工人、住院医师等人呢?他们有小费吗?
帕特丽夏：
现在优质服务的小费标准是l8％-20％。餐厅和它的员工们很有礼貌，不能告诉你这点，也不能把它写在菜单里。不过，这是他们的期望，你得理解。我认为应该尊重这点。否则就是一种非常粗鲁的表现。如果你不同意，你最好去别的地方就餐，因为你会伤害一个努力工作的服务员。
迈克：
给小费已经失去了控制。我之前认为是15％，现在突然提到了20％。我只给15％的小费，就这样。如果服务真的很好，我再提高。有人说过很有趣的话“如果你支付不起20％的小费，你就应该在家吃饭。”如果那些人都不去餐馆吃饭，那么餐馆就会关门。
【精析】主旨题。理查德对小费的观点“The better the service，the higher the tip…My assessment is honest．”我对服务越满意，小费就越高，我的评价是很诚实的，这与G项“我的小费真实地反映了服务质量”观点相符。故选G。
