B

There’s an old saying that goes, “ Good fences make good neighbors. ” With

so many people forced to stay at home during the pandemic, some are happy to

report that good fences can also make good friends.

In Minneapolis, the Olson family lives next door to 99-year-old Mary O Neill.

Although Mary has an adult daughter in the area who visits once a week, with the

rest of her relatives scattered, the pandemic left the old woman in seclusion (

与世

隔绝

).

But as lockdown went on, Mary managed to develop a special friendship with

one of her neighbors — Benjamin Olson, aged 2. Over time, Mary watched

through the fences as Benjamin learned to walk, talk and eventually run and play.

Despite the huge differences in their ages, Benjamin noticed his elderly neighbor,

delighting in her presence. Between the two, they developed a game they could

play over the fence. Benjamin would pass her a ball and she’d hit it back to him

with her cane.

While others might remark on the 97-year gap between the two pals, when

Benjamin sees Mary, he simply sees a friend, not a number. Although the pair’s

special affinity (

亲和力

) definitely scores high on the cuteness factor, Benjamin’s

mum Sarah and Mary’s adult daughter believe the relationship has been a lifeline

that’s kept the elderly woman going through the long period of isolation (

隔离

).

As pandemic restrictions have lifted, Mary and Benjamin’s friendship

continues to blossom on both sides of the fence — only now, the gates can be

opened.

“Friendship can just happen so many different ways, ” Sarah told CBS. “ I’m

just really happy they were able to form this on — isolation or not, pandemic or

not. I’m happy because it means a lot to her and it means a lot to him, too. ”

David Frank started working for tips when he was 11 years old, delighting

restaurant diners in New York with his magic tricks. As a teenager he would make

an average of $60-70 in an evening—not bad, but he wanted more. So he started

reading research on tipping, and found a study showing that servers who left a

sweet at the end of the meal could up their pay. He tried handing customers a

playing card at the end of his act, which he hoped would persuade them to part

with more cash. It worked.

Mr. Frank's findings confirmed the notion of the tip as a sort of reward for

outstanding service. For a start, economists are puzzled by the fact that so many

people give tips, voluntarily handing out cash for a routine service, when it is

assumed that customers generally want to pay as little as possible for what they

buy. But fuzzier factors also seem to matter, like the feelings of gratitude that Mr.

Frank inspired. A Survey in 2010 by Ofer Azar of Israel's Ben-Gurion University

of the Negev found that 85% of American tippers claimed to be following a social

pattern, while 60% said they tipped to avoid guilt.

During the pandemic these fuzzy factors appear to have strengthened. Mr.

Lynn observed that people have been tipping more generously even while

ordering take-away food.

The presence of a pandemic or of a magician performing at one's table are

just two of many factors that may affect the size of a tip. A tipper may simply be

touched by the server. If a waiter squats down beside you at the table as he or she

takes your order, that often brings a higher tip. Good weather may encourage

generosity too. Race can be an uglier factor. A study of tips for cab drivers found

that black drivers were tipped on average at a rate of 13%, while white drivers got

20%.

28

．

Why did David Frank hand customers a card?

A

．

To delight the customers.

B

．

To provide the best service.

C

．

To satisfy their needs.

D

．

To increase his income.

29

．

What do we know about the tipping fact?

A

．

Customers want to pay as few tips as possible.

B

．

Most tippers in America tip because others tip.

C

．

Tipping is the best way to show gratitude.

D

．

Tipping is usually included in the bill.

30

．

Why does the author mention "take-away food"?

A

．

To indicate take- away food is more popular during pandemic.

B

．

To persuade readers to order take-away food in pandemic.

C

．

To emphasize that people tend to give more tips in pandemic.

D

．

To explain there's no need to tip in terms of take-away food.

31

．

What can we infer from last paragraph?

A

．

The pandemic makes tips unaffordable.

B

．

The customers' mood influences their tipping.

C

．

Tipping has nothing to do with weather.

D

．

There are more white drivers than black ones.

D

Can you really find out where someone is from based on how they queue (

排

队

)?And why — across the world — do some queues seem to take forever, while

others, even of the same waiting time, seem to go relatively quickly?

Richard Larson, Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor and a world

expert on queues, as well as various social scientists, believes how you queue

does, in fact, often give away your origin. In the United States, how people queue

even depends on which city they are from. “One of my findings is that you can

tell a lot about the social culture of citizens by watching their micro behavior in

queues. People in Boston, New York and Washington D

．

C

．

all queue in different

ways,” he says. “In Washington, people queue at a random point in a sidewalk.

These are government workers who know that the bus stops at this place at 4:05,

so they queue up dutifully — first come first serve. I have never seen any such

behavior in New York or Boston.”

No matter how “good” the queuers are, though, scientists agree that for the
