Yu're ut t dinner. The fd is delicius and the service is fine. Yu decide t leave a big fat tip. Why? The answer may nt be as simple as yu think.
Tipping, psychlgists have fund, is nt just abut service. Instead, studies have shwn that tipping can be affected by psychlgical reactins t a series f different factrs frm the waiter's chice f wrds, t hw they carry themselves while taking rders, t the ttal bill. Even hw much waiters remind custmers f themselves can determine hw much change they pcket by the end f the night.
“Studies befre have shwn that mimicry(模仿) brings int psitive feelings fr the mimicker,” wrte Rick van Baaren, a scial psychlgy prfessr. “These studies shw that peple wh are being mimicked becme mre generus tward the persn wh mimics them.”
S Rick van Baaren divided 59 waiters int tw grups. He requested that half serve with a phrase such as “Cming up!” Thse in the ther hall were instructed t repeat the rders and preferences back t the custmers. Rick van Baaren then cmpared their take-hme pay. The results were clear—it pays t mimic yur custmer. The cpycat(模仿者) waiters earned almst duble the amunt f tips t the ther grup.
Lenard Green and Jel Myersn, psychlgists at Washingtn University in St. Luis, fund the genersity f a tipper may be limited by his bill. After research n the 1,000 tips left fr waiters, cab-drivers, and hair stylists, they fund tip percentages in these three areas drpped as custmers' bills went up. In fact, tip percentages appear t a plateau(稳定期) when bills tpped $100 and a bill fr $200 made the wrker gain n bigger percentage tip than a bill fr $100.
“That's als a pint f tipping,” Green says. “Yu have t give a little extra t the cab-driver fr being there t pick yu up and smething t the waiter fr being there t serve yu. If they weren't there, yu'd never get any service. S part f the idea f a tip is fr just being there.”
9.Hw many factrs affect the custmers' tipping?
A.6. B.5. C.4. D.3.
10.What d the studies shw?
A.Mimicry brings int very bad feelings fr the mimicker.
B.The waiter wh mimics peple usually gets fewer tips that they give.
C.The mimic waiters can get mre mney than thse wh dn't mimic thers.
D.Tipping can be affected by physical reactins t many different waiters.
11.What is the pinin f the authr accrding t the passage?
A.He gives his generus tip t waiters very ften.
B.He agrees with Mr. Green and Rick van Baaren abut tipping.
C.He bjects t Mr. Green's idea abut tipping.
D.He thinks part f Mr. Green's explanatin is reasnable.
12.What is the best title f this passage?

Studies shw farmland in Africa is ften lacking in imprtant nutrients.But researchers say a cmbinatin f farming methds may help.
Researchers wnder hw t increase prductin withut necessarily clearing mre land t grw additinal crps.American researchers say that can happen with greater use f an agricultural system called perenniatin.It mixes fd crps with trees and perennial plants—thse that return year after year.
Sil scientist Jhn Reganld says,“One f the majr prblems is that the sils are fairly pr in mst f the regins.S hw d yu grw fd n pr sils? There have t be fd prductin systems that can build the sil and imprve the yield.”

“They have been actually using farming practices where they're nt putting in rganic matter.They're nt putting in fertilizers.They can't affrd thse things.And it just runs the sil dwn. S they're wrsening the situatin.”
The scientist says the wrd perenniatin defines three systems that are already used in Africa.The ldest f the three is called evergreen agriculture.This is where farmers plant trees with their crps.Farmers in Africa have been ding this fr sixty years, but it seems t be grwing in ppularity.
The methd is gaining widespread use in cuntries such as Niger, Burkina Fas, Malawi and Zambia.The trees are planted amng maize (玉米), millet r srghum crps.They nt nly add nitrgen (氮) t the sil thrugh their rts, but als thrugh their leaves when they fall ff and break dwn.At ther times f the year, the trees can prtect plants frm strng sunlight.
Jhn Reganld says he knws f ne wman wh has had great success with perenniatin.
“She's a grandmther in her fifties.Her name is Rhda and she started using this system abut twenty years ag.And her yields initially were abut a tn f maize.Nw with a gd year she gets fur tns per hectare, fur times what she was getting.”
12.The purpse f the passage is t .
A.tell peple hw t increase prductin
B.intrduce an agricultural system in Africa
C.intrduce the ldest farming methd in Africa
D.tell us hw t prevent sil frm being pr

A.Perenniatin mixes fd crps with trees and perennial plants.
B.Pr sil is the main prblem in increasing fd prductin.
C.Farmers may be mre t blame fr the present situatin.
D.American researchers first invented perenniatin.
15.Why des Jhn Reganld mentin Rhda?
A.T shw the methd is very ppular in Africa.
B.Because she is an expert at farming prductin.
C.T prve the farming methd is effective.
D.Because she prduced mre grains than anyne else in the cuntry.

Jenny knew she shuld just pick it up and return it t him, but she didn’t want 10 nm after him. Jenny bent dwn quickly, picked up the watch and ran hme. On arriving hme, Jenny put it n almst withut thinking. She was surprised it fitted s well. She walked t the mirrr and started practicing her speech.
