　　On September 4th of 2004 my American friend Jon Hageseth took me to the airport in La Crosse, Wisconsin to fetch a new suitcase. To show my thanks, I treated him and his wife with a Mexican lunch on the way back. After we enjoyed the delicious food, I paid the bill and went towards the car, but just when everyone was seated, Jon's wife Cathy returned to the restaurant. I felt puzzled. Upon her return, she said,“You were clever not paying the tip, so I had to go back to pay it.”I felt so embarrassed that I lost no time to apologize, explaining that there is no such a practice in China. In fact, I don't take the tipping issue seriously although I am aware of such a practice in the US.

　　Another day in September, I dined with one of my American colleagues at a Buffet Restau rant. On finishing the meal I began searching my wallet for small notes.“What are you doing, Zhao Qi?”my colleague asked.“To pay the tip of course.”My colleague burst into laughter,“You don't have to.” “Why?”I asked and recalled my previous embarrassing experience in the Mexican restaurant. And then she told me that it's unnecessary to pay tips at any kind of self-service restaurants, but we have to pay tips only in restaurants where services are provided. I still did not get a clear picture of this issue. Seeing my puzzlement, she offered me some good advice on the situation I should give the tip.

　　In her opinion, tipping plays an important role in US economy and acts as an unavoidable part of American's daily life. The following are a few facts about tipping taken from various university and market-research studies.

　　1．People eating at restaurants in the US pay about $16 billion a year in tips.

　　2．Waiters and waitresses who wait on tables receive much higher tips than those who don't.

　　3．Waitresses who add a“smile”face to their hills see their tips increase about 5％. Men who do the same watch theirs drop 3％.

　　4．94％of Americans regularly tip when eating out.

　　According to my own experience and those various studies, I may conclude that tipping reflects a kind of good manners and appreciation, not as simple as we imagine.

(1) The underlined word“embarrassed”probably has the same meaning as ________.

[　　]

A．a(chǎn)shamed
B．thankful
C．unsatisfied
D．shocked

(2) What difficulty did the writer have in giving tips in America?

[　　]

A．Not making sure how much should be given.

B．Not knowing what occasion she should tip.

C．There isn't such a practice in China.

D．Not willing to offer tips.

(3)From the studies we can know that ________.

[　　]

A．every American tips when having meals out

B．only a small amount of money is spent on tips in America

C．a(chǎn) smile on a waitress' face can increase the tip

D．smiles benefit both waiters and waitresses

　　Stephen Hawking, the disabled author of A Brief History of Time is launching his second journey to China in Hangzhou of Zhejiang Province. His first visit was over 10 years ago.

　　The great theoretical scientist has been invited to attend a state-of-the-art mathematics research institute at Zhejing University, Hangzhou-based Dushi Kuaibao reported.

　　On Sunday evening, he made his début at a press conference held at Shangri-La hotel, Hangzhou. Hawking appeared at about 5:00 p.m. with his wife.

　　The 50-year-old man answered a total of nine questions with the help of his computer.

　　“Experts in theoretical science are dispersed around the world, but we need communication. I am very glad that the world’s first-class conference is being held in China this time,”he said.

　　“I find the real universe much more interesting than the one in the film Star Wars ,” Hawking joked.“I encourage young people to study theoretical physics first if they are interested in it.”

　　Stephen Hawking has worked on the basic laws which govern the universe. With Roger Penrose he showed that Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity implied (隱含) space and time would have a beginning in the Big Bang and an end in black holes. These results indicated it was necessary to unify General Relativity with Quantum Theory, the other great scientific development of the first half of the 20th century.

　　One consequence(結(jié)果) of such a unification theory would be that black holes would not be completely black, but emit (放射) radiation and eventually evaporate (蒸發(fā)) and disappear. Another conjecture (推 測(cè)) is that the universe has no edge or boundary in imaginary time. This would imply that the way the universe began was completely determined by the laws of science.

　　But the talented man who has produced such rich work suffers serious Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) (肌萎縮性脊髓索硬化). He is one of the 350,000 sufferers in the world. The disease kills over 100,000 people every year.

　　“I like life and I love life, my family and music give me the greatest happiness,”smiled Hawking, who can only move three fingers.

　　In the coming year, Hawking said he is scheduled to write a new edition of A Brief History of Time for young children.

　　“A Brief History of Time is my first book for common people. But I later found that I could write it in a more simple way,”he answered,“So I decided to rewrite it so that all people can read it easily.”

1．It is obvious that Hawking ________.

[　　]

A．comes to China for the first time

B．has never been to China before

C．has been to China twice

D．hopes to come to visit China one day

2．What do the underlined words“are dispersed”in the fifth paragraph mean?

[　　]

A．Live together.

B．Live far away from.

C．Know each other better.

D．Have connection with each other.

3．From the passage we know the nature of Hawking’s being ________.

[　　]

A．determined and humorous

B．learned and humorous

C．learned and shy

D．disabled

4．It can be inferred that Hawking ________.

[　　]

A．greatly improved Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity

B．knows a lot about Einstein’s theory

C．has A Brief History of Time published recently

D．loves nothing but his study on universe
