43、n into in China.In the US, giving a little extra money to service workers on top of your bill is a common practice.Though US national law requires that businesses pay workers at least $7.25 (45 yuan) per hour, employees receiving tips - often waiters and waitresses - are the exceptions. They usually

44、 only receive at least $2.13 an hour, and tips make up the difference. As The Wall Street Journal put it: “ The American system of tipping holds the promise of great rewards for waiting staff.”So how should you tip if you are in the US?Normally you pay tips as a percentage of the bill. Offering an e

45、xtra 15 percent of the bill to the waiter or waitress in a restaurant and to the delivery man or woman is customary ( 惯 例 的 ) and expected. You can offer more for great service and less for poor service.Yet there is an exception. For take-out food, you don t have to provide tips, though some people

46、say that filling an order still requires work and time that deserve a little extra - but maybe a little less.Tips are not expected at fast food restaurants, cafs or ice cream shops either, though a tip jar might be right by the cash register (收银机). Dont feel obligated to throw some money in, but als

47、o remember that it doesnt hurt. Those workers do not rely on tips.Other service workers also receive tips. For taxi drivers, 15 percent is the norm ( 标 准 ), more if they help with your bags.

48、es.Today, you can even pay tips on a credit card.

Good listeningskills and body language are a

53、lso important for us to effectively communicate with others. Effective communication involves more than talking to a person. How things are said, words are chosen and tones are adopted are all aspects of good communication.Body language, a common form of non-verbal communication, can support what a

54、speaker is saying. Studies have shown that of the information that is received from other people, only 10% is from what they say and 40% is from the tone and speed of their voice. The other 50% is obtained from their body language. Reading body language is part of developing social skills.Some profe

55、ssionals, such as lawyers, governmental security officers anddoctors on mental problems, learn to read every type of body language of others to help in their jobs. They look for specific signs, while the average person reads some body language subconsciously（下意识地）. Body language can involve one aspe

56、ct such as the eyes, or the use of different body parts. Where the body is positioned in relation to another person or at a table is another piece in communicating what the person is feeling. Troubles may arise（出现） when body language is misunderstood.Good listening skills clear the way to a clear me

57、ssage while bad listening skills create barriers which can confuse or stop the message. Good listeners can use body language by nodding occasionally to show interest and understanding, make eye contact with the speaker, repeat some of the words and feelings, and summarize what they have heard. All t

58、hese can avoid communication troubles.Poor listeners rarely communicate effectively. Barriers they commonly use may include: interruptions, inappropriate humor, judgments, criticisms, and unrelated questions. People who are attempting to communicate with a person who continually throws out barriers

59、will often stop talking and they even get angry as they feel misunderstood and frustrated. Healthy minded people are able to communicate with others effectively by avoiding these barriers. They are able to let their partners know what they want regularly and clearly.67. What can we learn from the fi
