4、What happens when human beings are not allowed to sleep for long periods of time? To answer this question, a New Yorker, Peter Tripp, offered to stay awake 200 hours. During that time Tripp was observed by a group of doctors, who reported on his progress.
After three days of staying awake, he began to show signs of his mental breakdown. He laughed at things that were not funny, and wept(哭泣) at things that were not sad. Complaining of pressure caused by a hat on his head, he tried repeatedly to take it off. Tripp, of course, was not wearing a hat.
On the fifth day he cried out that a doctor's jacket looked like crawling worms. Then he imagined he was in another city; he tried to run away from the building, insisting it was on fire; and he thought the 200-hour mark had been passed but that the doctors were still trying to keep the experiment going. After 200 hours without sleep, Tripp, said the doctors, was “suffering from mental illness.” He was nearly mad.
Hardly able to stand, Tripp was helped across the street to a room in a hotel. There, after being awake for 201 hours and thirteen minutes, he fell asleep. The doctors predicted(預言) he would sleep for twenty or thirty hours. “Peter Tripp will sleep the deepest sleep in history”, said the doctors. Tripp slept all right----for nine hours and eleven minutes. When he awoke, his first words were: “I feel fine.” After a medical check, his greatly surprised watchers said that he was sound and well.

Richard’s father died when he was five. Later on he lost his mother. An old woman felt sorry for the poor boy and often helped him. Of course he had no money to go to school. He had to work for a rich farmer. The man paid him nothing except food and clothes. 1 He found some old books near the school and taught himself to read and write.
2 It connected the village and the town. One morning people found there was a big stone on it. It stopped them from going to town. They had to move it away, or they had to cross the mountain if they had something to do in the town. But the stone weighed thirty tons at least and the strongest young men couldn’t do that. 3
Richard looked at it carefully for a while and said, “I have a way to move it away.” But few men believed him. 4 Night fell and people went home. Only the boy stayed there.
To their surprise, the villagers found the stone was gone the next morning. They didn’t know which spirit had moved it away. 5
“How could he? ”The rich farmer called out. “He’s only fifteen! He couldn’t move it at all!”

23、
You’re out to dinner. The food is delicious and the service is fine. You decide to leave a big fat tip. Why? The answer may not be as simple as you think.
Tipping, psychologists (心理學家) have found, is not just about service. Instead, studies have shown that tipping can be affected by psychological reactions to a series of different factors(因素) from the waiter’s choice of words, to how they carry themselves while taking orders, to the bill’s total. Even how much waiters remind customers of themselves can determine how much change they pocket by the end of the night.
“Studies before have shown that mimicry (模仿) brings into positive feelings for the mimicker,” wrote Rick van Baaren, a social psychology professor. “These studies show that people who are being mimicked become more generous toward the person who mimics them.”
So Rick van Baaren divided 59 waiters into two groups. He requested that half serve with a phrase such as, “Coming up!” Those in the other half were instructed to repeat the orders and preferences back to the customers. Rick van Baaren then compared their take-home. The results were clear — it pays to mimic your customer. The copycat waiters earned almost double the amount of tips to the other group.
Leonard Green and Joel Myerson, psychologists at Washington University in St. Louis, found the generosity of a tipper may be limited by his bill. After research on the 1,000 tips left for waiters, cab drivers, hair stylists, they found tip percentages in these three areas dropped as customers’ bills went up. In fact, tip percentages appear to plateau (達到穩(wěn)定水平) when bills topped $100 and a bill for $200 made the worker gain no bigger percentage tip than a bill for $100.
“That’s also a point of tipping,” Green says. “You have to give a little extra to the cab driver for being there to pick you up and something to the waiter for being there to serve you. If they weren’t there, you’d never get any service. So part of the idea of a tip is for just being there.”
1.How many factors affecting the customers’ tipping are mentioned in the passage?
A.2. B.1. C.3. D.4.
2.These studies show that _________.
A.tipping can be affected by physical reactions to many different waiter’s factors
B.people who are being mimicked usually tip less to the person who mimics them
C.the mimic waiters can get almost twice as much money as the other group
D.mimicry makes the mimicker feel bad
3.According to the passage, which of the following will be likely to show the right change of the tip percentages?
4.We know from the passage that the writer seems to __________.
A.oppose Mr Green’s idea about tipping
B.think part of Mr Green’s explanation is reasonable
C.give his generous tip to waiters very often
D.support the opinions of Mr Green and Rick van Baaren about tipping
