My real life lesson in politics (P3)
D。从第一段和第四段都可以看出作者为市长连任工作。
B。本题的答案在最后两段。所以B正确。
D。根据倒数第二段可以确定D正确。
4. A。依据第一段以及其他段落可以知道作者对政治有了更多的了解。
Tips pay US waiters’ wages (P4)
5. C。由第一段最后两句话“We knew what it meant to serve a non-American: no tip. We would work just as hard as we always did, but we might not get paid.”可知作者和她的同事见到外国顾客叹息主要是因为没有小费，所以C项正确。
6. B。由第二段“An appropriate tip is between 15 and 20 percent of the amount charged for the service”以及第三段“So if you order $100 worth of food, you are expected to pay your waiter at least $15”可知，小费最低额即：$550*15%=$82.5，故选B。
7. D。由第五段“But in the US, waiters do not receive a salary, and service charges only appear on bills when there are six or more customers at the table.”可知，在美国，餐馆服务员没有工资，收入主要依靠小费，故选D。
8. D。由第二段“Americans tip their waiters, barbers and taxi drivers.”可知A不对；由第五段“But in the US, … service charges only appear on bills when there are six or more customers at the table.”可知B不对；由第三段最后一句话“And to leave no tip at all is simply unacceptable.”可知C不对；由第六段“But visitors to the US may expect waiters to be paid a salary, or think that the tip is included on the bill.”外国顾客如果不熟悉美国的小费机制，以为其已经包含在帐单里了，这就将影响服务员的收入，故D项正确。
Fix it on your own (P6)
9. D。由该问题所对应段落的“Take the battery from the phone and rub it between your hands.”可知D项正确。
10. C。由该问题所对应段落的“…fill a pot or bowl with uncooked rice and put your wet gadget inside.” 可知应选C。
11. E。由该问题所对应段落的“…get the camera function up on your phone and point the remote at the lens”以及“This is because the screen on a phone or digital camera picks up infrared rays”可知应选E。
12. A。由最后一段的“Use a little water on a cotton bud to remove stickiness from the keyboard.”可知A项正确。
13. G。由最后一段的“Instead, mix a little vinegar with water (50/50) and put it on a piece of cloth to clean your screen.”可知应选G。
If only they’d known (P8)
14. A。依据是第三段的“Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden on us.”
15. B。父母在回答儿子时，提到了负担、对生活的影响，这很可能是儿子选择自杀的原因。A、D项都错在是谈儿子的朋友。文章并没有说父母不会欢迎残废的儿子，所以不能说儿子确信这一点，更因此而自杀，所以排除C。
16. C。看到儿子的尸体时，他们才发现那个所谓的缺胳膊少腿的朋友就是儿子自己。
17. D。最后一段那对父母很后悔，如果当时能去体会和理解儿子的心情，把儿子说的好朋友当作自己的儿子宽容大量地接纳，那就不会失去儿子。所以应该选择D。
