The Quwwat-ul-Islam Msque cmplex in New Delhi is hme t an ancient wnder f metal wrk — the Irn Pillar (柱) f Qutub Minar, which is very unusually resistant t rust (铁锈). This 1,600-year-ld mnument measures 7.21 meters tall, has a diameter f 41 centimeters and weighs abut 6 tns.
Even thugh it has spent all that time utdrs, the Pillar f Qutub Minar shws almst n sign f rust damage. There was a time when many believed that the rust-resistant pillar was made ut f sme mysterius, nn-earthly metal, while thers believed that whever made it used an extremely mdern technique that was lst in the mists f time. That secnd thery is technically true, as metallurgists shwed in a paper published in the jurnal Current Science.
R. Balasubramanian, c-authr f the study, called the pillar “living evidence fr the skill f metallurgists f ancient India”, explaining that the irn structure features a prtective layer called “misawite” — a substance that frms a barrier between metal and rust. The frmatin f misawite is caused by the high phsphrus (磷) cntent in the irn.
While mdern irn has a phsphrus cntent f under 0.05%, the irn that the Irn Pillar f Qutub Minar is made f cntains as much as 1 percent phsphrus. Accrding t Dr. Balasubramanian, instead f remving the phsphrus frm the irn as wrkers d tday t prevent the metal frm breaking up, ancient peple kept it in, and simply kept hitting the pillar hard with hammers t push the phsphrus frm the cre twards the surface. This kept the irn strng, and als led t the frmatin f the misawite barrier.
As is ften the case with these ancient wnders, they can be easily harmed by humans. The pillar gained a reputatin fr bringing gd luck t whever managed t wrap their arms arund the metal structure, and mre and mre peple engaged in the practice ver the years. But the misawite barrier is an extremely thin layer, s the practice has led t a visible disclratin f the pillar near its base. Luckily, authrities realized the danger and built a prtective fence arund the pillar.
24．What is a prbable reasn that the Irn Pillar f Qutub Minar can resist rust?
A．Its structure is extremely strng.
B．It cntains sme mysterius metal.
C．Its utside is cvered with misawite.
D．It was made ut f sme nn-earthly metal.
25．What des R. Balasubramanian think f the irn pillar?
A．Imprtant.B．Ordinary.C．Imperfect.D．Dangerus.
26．Why did the ancient wrkers hit the irn pillar with hammers?
A．T check its quality.
B．T remve phsphrus frm the irn.
C．T push the phsphrus twards its surface.
D．T prduce mre phsphrus in the pillar’s cre.
27．What effect has peple’s tuching had n the irn pillar?
A．Imprving its quality.
B．Making it mre ppular.
C．Bringing gd luck t it.
D．Weakening its barrier layer.

Tipping is part f everyday life in many parts f the wrld. It’s usually an infrmal charge that's paid n tp f the bill t shw appreciatin t the persn wh has prvided yu a service.
Tipping culture can vary frm place t place. In the Middle East, peple wh serve usually try t be mre helpful. 36 . An example is the tur guides f Egypt. When a turist gesarund a famus site in Egypt like the pyramids, they’11 ften be accmpanied by a very qualified tur guide. Thanks t the guide, a turist will certainly knw mre abut the pyramids than he rshe did at the start. 37 .
In sme places, tipping desn't exist at all. Tips aren't part f life in China, Suth Krea r Japan. But in ther places in Asia, nt leaving a tip can lead t truble. An American travel agent tld Cnde Nast Traveler that in India, fr example, a persn wh desn't leave a tip after a meal in a restaurant will ften be chased dwn the street. 38 , he said.
Many peple nly give tips n a subjective （主观的）basis. But it’s this subjective aspect t tipping that can cause prblems. On the ne hand, they dn't want t be mean; n the ther hand, they dn't want t pay t much and feel that they've been cheated. 39 .
A cmmn slutin fr this prblem is t ffer a guideline n the check. 40 .
This can prevent the awkwardness when it's time t pay up.
A．Tips are then given t appreciate the expertise f the guide
B．If yu tip badly, peple think less f yu
C．They'll run after yu and scream fr mney
D．It will suggest that a certain percentage f the bill shuld be paid n tp as a tip
E．Very ften peple wh travel t the United States frget t tip
F．After all, a tip isn't part f the bill
G．But they may expect a little extra in return
