26、Tipping customs differ from country to country. You need to know how to tip in the country that you're in when you travel; or you'll leave servers annoyed everywhere you go. Here are just a few guidelines to tipping in different countries.

Dubai

In Dubai it's a rule for restaurants to charge 10% tip on all restaurant and bar bills You can add a couple of dirhams (迪拉姆，货币单位)to this if you feel like it. Waiters are not paid very much in Dubai, so it is always very appreciated.

Brazil

There will always be a standard 10% service charge added to your bill, and you won't necessarily have to tip. If you do feel like being generous, an extra 5-10% will really make your server very happy. Just remember to do this as skillfully as possible - Brazilians don't make a big show of this.

Czech Republic

While locals in the Czech Republic don't leave tips, that doesn't mean you're off the hook. Foreign tourists are definitely expected to leave some kind of tip for service - as long as you're in a high tourist traffic area, like Prague for instance. The standard tip is 10%.

India

Here it is often considered appropriate for a tourist to tip your server 5-10%. You have to adjust that number by yourself though. This is how the rules go in this country. If the bill is for a small meal and totals less than 300 rupees,tip the full 10％.If the bill is higher, tip towards the 5％．

【1】In which country is it OK if you don’t give a tip?

28、   Have you ever wondered how your favorite NBA team received its name? All NBA teams have an interesting story or a history behind their names. Some of the names reflect the city's culture or history; others came from previous owners and many were selected through “Name the Team” contests.

For teams like Los Angeles and Utah, the names were not always a reflection of the city. Even though Los Angeles has no lakes, the Laker name has been a city treasure for almost 60 years. Before going to Los Angeles, the team originated(起源) in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In 1948, team officials chose the name for its direct relationship to the state's motto, “The Land of 10,000 Lakes.” The team name went unchanged after moving to Los Angeles in 1960. Because Utah's team originated in New Orleans, Louisiana, it was called the Jazz. In 1974, New Orleans club officials chose the name to represent the city-the “jazz capital of the world”. The name stayed with the team even after finding a new home in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1979.

The Chicago Bull's original owner, Richard Klein, named the team the Bulls. He picked the name because fighting bull is relentless(毫不留情的), and never quits. Klein, who founded the club in 1966, believed these qualities were necessary for a championship team and hoped his Chicago athletes would live up to the team name. This is a belief that Bulls, winner of the six NBA championships, have definitely followed.

In 1967, the Indian Pacers selected their team name in a different way from most other teams. Their decision was based on what they wanted to accomplish in the NBA. Team officials -chose the Pacers name because the organization wanted to set the “pace” in professional basketball.

【1】What do the Lakers and the Jazz have in common?

A.They have won many championships.

B.They kept their names after moving.

C.Their names are linked to geography.

D.Their names have similar meanings.

【2】Why did Richard Klein name his team the Bulls?

A.He believed in the spirit of a fighting bull.

B.He was fond of wild animal protection.

C.He intended to set pace for basketball.

D.He was proud of the six championships.

【3】What can we learn from the text?

A.A good name brings more than luck.

B.NBA teams never change their names.

C.Minneapolis is well known for lakes.

D.Salt Lake City is the world's Jazz capital.

【4】What can be the best title of the text?

A.Some Successful NBA Teams

B.Relations between NBA Teams

C.Stories of NBA Legends

D.Tales of NBA Team Names

32、读后续写

Mr Brown lived in a house less than two miles from his office, so he was able to drive home every day for lunch. Every time he drove home at noon, he found many cars were parked outside his house and there was no room for his own car. He had to drive somewhere else to park his car. Then he had to walk back home. This made him very angry.

He had put up a board, which said, “No parking” in the garden facing the road, but nobody noticed it. People seemed to obey (遵守) only a police notice, but not a private one. There were no parked cars where there was a blue board with letters on it: Police Notice—No Parking!

Mrs Brown suggested that he could steal a police notice. He dared not, being afraid of going to prison. She then suggested that he could make one just like a police notice. He said he was not a policeman and couldn’t use the word “police”. Several days later, Mr Brown made a blue board with white letters: Polite Notice—No Parking!

“Oh!” Mrs Brown said, “You told me you weren’t going to use the word “police”, but why do you use it now?” “Really?” he asked, “Look again.” She started to laugh. “You are really clever.”
