The changing point in my life came when I was in London. I had to   31   the weekend in the city centre for an event. It was a(n)   32   apartment and I only had enough money for it.

One day walking to my living area, I was   33   by a young woman. She promised she wasn’t a beggar and    34    she just had no food for her baby.

   I just   35  her as a beggar. In my pocket I had one pound eighty pence in change and a twenty-pound note. This was  36   I had for the rest of the weekend. I gave her the change and   37   on. Then I heard her saying something and I turned   38   . “Sorry, but this isn’t going to buy much baby food, is it?”

      For a second her words really made me   39   . After all, her baby wasn’t my   40  . Part of my mind screamed that she was just trying to take me for a  41   .

      But what if she wasn’t?

      There and then I had to  42   what kind of person I was going to be. Would I keep myself from being taken advantage of – and   43   miss the chance of helping a person in   44   ? Or would I  45  people to take advantage of me nine times out of ten to make sure I  46      the tenth time?

      I  47   that if I lived with a(n)  48   heart the people who took advantage of me would not be wining over me. They would be losing because of the life they   49   to live.

      “Please tell the  50   ,”I said to the woman and gave her the twenty pounds.

      I’ve been living by that decision twenty years now - and never regretted it once.

出國游有許多需要注意的事項。而付小費是很多國家的普遍現(xiàn)象。由于文化習(xí)俗的差異，不同的國家、不同的地區(qū)做法不盡相同。以下A、B、C、D、E和F是對亞洲一些城市給付小費的介紹，選出符合編號描述的選項。選項中有一項是多余選項。
【小題1】 Most expensive restaurants will add a 10% service charge to the bill.
【小題2】Though tipping is not allowed, people who have served you accept tips in a certain way.
【小題3】Culturally, tipping is unnecessary, but customers sometimes pay service charge when checking out.
【小題4】 If you want to get loyal service, you should give a tip more than 10%.
【小題5】You ae not expected to pay tips at a low class hotel.
A
Bangkok （曼谷） There are no established rules of tipping in Bangkok, capital of Thailand. Some places expect it; others don’t. In general, the more westernized the place is, the more likely you’ll be expected to leave a tip.
Restaurants: Some expensive restaurants will add a 10% service charge to the bill. If not, waiters will appr eciate your increasing by 10% yourself. However, if you’re eating at a cheap eatery, a ti is not necessary.
Porters: At Bangkok’s many five-star hotels, you’re expected to tip the porter 20 to 50 baht(銖), depending on how many bags you have.
Taxis: Taxis are now metered in Bangkok, so there’s no bargaining over your fare. The local custom is to round the fare up to the nearest five baht.
B
Jakarta （雅加達）  Tipping is not part of the Indonesian culture, but international influences have turned some westernized palms upward in search of a few extra rupiah (盧比).
Restaurants: A 10% service charge is added at most high-end restaurants. At moderately priced restaurants, 5,000 rupiah should do it---if the service is superb, add an extra 1,000 rupiah or so.
Porters: Pay a few hundred rupiah for each bag.
Taxis: Most drivers will automatically round up to the next 500 rupiah. Some will claim they have no change and will bleed you for more. Don’t accept anything more than a 1,000-rupiah increase.
C
Kuala Lumpur （吉隆坡）  Like Indonesia, tipping in Malaysia is only common in the expensive westernized joints, which often add a 10% service charge to your meal or hotel bill.
Restaurants: If you are at a hotel restaurant, expect a 10% service charge or add the same amount yourself. But at local stalls, there’s no need to add a tip.
Porters: At five-star hotels, one or two ringgit(林吉特) will be enough. At low-end establishments, you are not forced to tip.
Taxis: Many taxis are now metered, so you can just round up to the nearest ringgit. In unmetered taxis, expect a session of hard bargaining for the ride.
D
Manila （馬尼拉）  Tipping is common in Manila, the Philippines, and anything above 10% will gain you long-lasting loyalty.
Restaurants: Even if a service charge is included, it is a custom to add another 5%-10% to the bill.
Porters: Service in top hotels is good and should be rewarded with 20% pesos(比索) per bag.
Taxis: Most taxis are metered, and rounding up to the next five pesos is a good rule of taking taxis.
E
Seoul  Tipping is not part of the Korean culture, although it has become a rule in international hotels where a 10% service charge is often added.
Restaurants: If you are at a Korean barbecue (燒烤店), there’s no need to add anything extra. But a luxury Italian restaurant may require a 10% service charge.
Porters: If you are at a top-end hotel, international standards apply, so expect to tip 500-1,000 won per bag.
Taxis: Drivers don’t expect a tip, so unless you’re feeling remarkably generous, keep the change for yourself.
F
Singapore City  According to government rules in the Lion City, tipping is a no-no. It’s basically outlawed at Changi Airport and officials encourage tourists to neglect the 10% service charge that many high-end hotels add to the bill.
Restaurants: Singaporeans tend not to leave tips, especially at the outdoor eateries. Nicer restaurants do sometimes charge a 10% service fee, but there’s no need to supplement that.
Porters: Hotel staff are the one exception to the no-tipping rule. As a general guide, S$1 would be enough for baggage-lugging service.
Taxis: Drivers don’t expect tips, but they won’t refuse if you want to round up the fare to the next Singaporean dollar.

In Singapore, most of us love window-shopping while some others enjoy having a picnic at East Coast Park or Changi Beach on sunny days. Singaporeans are never bothered by the occasional thunderstorm. However, we know that if it rains for long continuous periods, there will be more serious effects. Just recently the main shopping street of Orchard Road was flooded and some part of Bukit Timah was impassable to traffic. People reacted by writing in to the newspaper to complain about this! We forget that other countries suffer much worse effects. Elsewhere, heavy tropical（熱帶的）storms often result in floods that ruin crops especially in Thailand and Malaysia. This in turn usually means that the price of rice and vegetables here in Singapore will rise because we import these products from them. If there is a typhoon or tsunami, thousands of lives are lost too. This happened in Indonesia and Phuket in Thailand in 2004 and it serves to remind us of how Mother Nature can cause great damage.

Weather patterns in general have changed dramatically in recent years. Scientists believe that global warming and the resulting melting of the polar ice-cap has caused the level of the ocean to rise. This in turn causes flooding of low-lying areas in countries where the land is rather flat and some parts of which is below water level. It is believed that human activities have caused Mother Nature to show her extreme anger, so it is now important that we really work together to cut down on harmful activities, for example, illegal logging（伐木）or irresponsible forest-burning to clear land for farming.

A. making complaints           B. going out for picnics

C. Many people will write in to the newspaper.

D. More rice and vegetables will be imported.

【答案】B

【解析】根據(jù)第一段倒數(shù)三，四句可知。熱帶風(fēng)暴導(dǎo)致的洪水會毀掉莊稼，新加坡的蔬菜和大米是從這些國家進口的，所以會導(dǎo)致蔬菜，大米的價格上升。

58.The underlined word“it” in Paragraph 2 refers to___________.

A. the arrival of heavy tropical storms

B. the import of rice and vegetables

C. the rising price of rice and vegetables

D. the loss of lives in natural disasters

【答案】D

【解析】上句提到臺風(fēng)和海嘯會導(dǎo)致成千上萬的人死亡。這在2004年在印度尼西亞和泰國的普吉島發(fā)生過。自然災(zāi)害到這人死亡這件事用來提醒我們大自然可以帶來巨大損害。
