Tipping isn’t a big part of British culture, unlike in North America, where waiters and waitresses are paid below minimum wage, Tips are usually appreciated, but offering a tip of some services can cause confusion.
In casual restaurants, where you pay for your order at a counter but food is brought to your table, tipping is uncommon. You are welcome to leave a pound or two if you wish. In restaurants where you place your order with a waiter or a waitress and receive your food and bill at your table, it’s customary to tip around 10 percent. In some restaurants, a service charge may be added 1o the bill automatically, typically 10 or 12.5 percent. In this case, you don’t need to add a further tip. When you pay by credit card, the machine may ask if you want to add a tip. Check your bill to see if a service charge has already been added before paying—if so you don’t need to add a tip on the machine. You can request the service charge be removed from your bill if you are unhappy with the service. In some
cases a restaurant may print “service not included” on the bill or menu. This is a request for a tip. You’re not forced to offer anything, but 10 percent would be normal in this situation. Tipping in cafes and fast food restaurant is not expected.
If you use a taxi, round the fare up to the nearest pound shown on the meter. On a journey from or to the airport in a booked minicab you might wish to tip 2 or 3 pounds if the driver helps with your bags.
Be sure to check a country’s tipping culture before you start your trip. For more information, visit TripAdvisor com.

Our perception of how food tastes is influenced by cultery like knives, forks, and spoons, research suggests.
“Size, weight, shape and color all have an effect on flavor,” says a University of Oxford team. Cheese tastes saltier when eaten from a knife rather than a fork; while white spoons make yoghurt taste better, experiments show.
The study in the journal Flavour suggests the brain makes judgments on food even before it goes in the mouth. More than 100 students took part in three experiments looking at the influence of weight, color and shape of cutlery on taste. The researchers found that when the weight of the cutlery is consistent with expectations, this had an influence on how the food tastes. For example, food tasted sweeter on the small spoons than are traditionally used to serve desserts.
Color contrast was also an important factor—white yoghurt eaten from a white spoon was rated sweeter that white yoghur tasted on a black spoon. Similarly, when testers were offered cheese on a knife, spoon, fork or toothpick, they found that the cheese on a knife tasted saltiest.
“How we experience food is a multisensory experience involving taste, feel of the food in our mouths, pleasant smells, and he feasting of our eyes, ”said Pro. Charles Spence and Dr. Vanessa Harrar. “ Even before we put food into our mouths, our brains have made a judgment about it, which affects our overall experience.”
Past research has shown that china can change our perception of food and drink. For example, people generally eat less when food is served on smaller plates. “The new research into how the brain influences food perception could help dieters or improve gastronomic(美食的)experiences at restaurants,” said Pro. Spence. He told BBC News: “There’s a lot more to food than what’s on the plate. Many things we thought didn’t matter do. We’re going to see a lot more of neuroscience(神经科学)design around mealtimes.”
28. According to the text, we know that the cheese used in the experiment is .
A. salty
B. sour
C. sweet
D. bitter
29. What do we know about the weight of the cutlery in paragraph 3?
A. It is important for people.
B. People usually don’t care about it.
C. It affects how the food tastes.
D. It is always different from people’s expectation.
30. What does the underlined word “multisensory” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Coming from the senses.
B. Involving many different senses.
C. Able to feel or perceive.
D. Easily affected by other feelings.
31. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Research on cutlery is of great importance.
B. Research into food will be continued in the future.
C. Research on the effect of nerves and taste of food will be done.
D. Research into plates and food will be carried out in the near future.

A“memory pill”that could aid exam revision and help to prevent people forgetting important anniversaries may soon be available over the counter.
The medicine has been designed originally to help treat Alzheimer’s disease, a disease marked by progressive loss of mental capacity resulting from weakening of the brain cells, but could be adapted and licensed for sale in a weaker form within the next few years.
One brand of memory-enhancing(增强记忆的)pill is being developed by the multinational company AstraZeneca together with Targacept, an American company, while Epix Pharmaceuticals, also from the US, is developing another.

Dr. Ferris said: “My view is that one could gain approval, provided you showed the drugs to be effective and safe. It could be a huge market.”
There is evidence that mind-improving drugs are already being taken in Britain by healthy users.
Provigil, which was used to treat narcolepsy, is being taken by some students to help them stay awake. while Adderall XR and Ritalin, treatments for attention deficit disorder(注意力缺乏症), are being used to help promote concentration.
A spokesman of Adderall XR said: “We get a lot of calls from college campuses asking about it. “There are risks though. It can raise blood pressure, people shouldn’t do it.”
The Department of Health said it v as not illegal to buy the medicines over the Internet, but it was not recommended.
Barbara Sahakian, professor of clinical neuropsychology at Cambridge, said:“It’s hard to quantify the scale of the phenomenon but it’s definitely catching on. ’
“The reality is that we are not always at our best. After being up at night looking after the kids or travelling. many people would love to have something to refresh them. It’s not prohibited to drink Red Bull. The principle with cognition enhancers is not so different. ”
32. The “memory pill”, as is mentioned in the first paragraph, is not sold over the counter now mainly because .
A. it is not safe enough
B. it is not efficient enough
C. it has not yet been mass-produced
D. it has not yet been tested on humans
33. Epix Phamaceuticals is developing a memory-enhancing pill for .

A. They were proud that their drug was popular with college students.
B. They developed a milder version of the drug for healthy people.
C. They suggested that college students should not use the drug.
