问题    Richard:
   I’ ve always viewed tipping as a way of saying "thank you" to the one who serves me. I believe what is bad is when no tip is left at all. The better the service is, the higher the tip is. Unless the service is literally perfect, I never tip more than 10% of the bill. Much like the harder teachers in school, I never give an easy "A. " My assessment is honest.
   Daniel:
   A tip is a "thank you," but in truth, a tip is payment for service. 20% is a standard tip. Servers deserve it for their hard work. Restaurants will never pay more for labor unless they are forced to do so by new laws. Tips make up about 97% of a server’ s total income. Those tips are needed for survival. So, before servers are paid a living wage, tip 20%.
   Kate:
   Why should I pay the difference between what the restaurant is willing to pay the employee and what an acceptable wage is? I do pay 20% , but I hate it. A friend of mine left Europe for New York City, found a job in a restaurant there and ended up making $5,500 a month. E-nough above minimum wage? How about miners, construction workers, resident doctors, etc? Do they get tipped?
   Patricia:
   18 -20% for good service is today’ s standard. The restaurant and its employees are too polite to tell you this or to put it on their menus, but that is their expectation and you need to understand that. I believe it is good manners to respect this. To do otherwise is to be openly rude. If you disagree, you are wise to eat elsewhere, as you are hurting a hardworking professional.
   Michael:
   Tipping has gotten out of control. I always had thought it was 15% , and now suddenly servers have made it 20% . I tip 15% , and that’ s it. If the service is really superior, then I work higher from there. Interesting to be told, "If you can’t afford to tip 20% , then you should eat at home. " If all those people stayed away, the restaurant would not even be in business.
   Now match the name of each person(36 - 40)to the appropriate statement.
   Note: there are two extra statements.
   Statements
   [A]It’ s rude not to tip.
   [B]I do tip, though I don’ t like it.
   [C]Tipping shouldn’ t be compulsory.
   [D]Tips are essential to servers’ survival.
   [E]If you don’ t tip, you are punishing the server.
   [F]I think the current tipping standard is too high.
   [G]My tip faithfully reflects how good the service is.

选项
答案A
