    　　Restaurants do not include a service charge in the bill ,so you should tip(付小费)the waiter 15％ of the total bill．If service is slow or particularly bad, some Americans will tip only 10％．If service is particularly good, it is appropriate to tip 20％．If service is so bad that you will never eat in the restaurant again, leave two cents．This is deliberate insult(羞辱), because it tells the waiter that you don’t forget to leave a tip．Tipping is only appropriate in restaurants which offer table service．You do not tip the cashier in a fast food restaurant．

    　　Taxi drivers expect to get a tip equal to 15％ of the total fare．If the driver is especially helpful or has got you to your destination more quickly than expected, give a 20％ tip．

    　　Hotel bellboys expect a ＄1 tip for helping you with your bags．If you order room service, the tip is included in the bill．Coat checkroom attendants expect ＄ 1 per coat．Hairdressers and barbers expect a tip of 15％ of the bill．Parking attendants expect a ＄ 1 tip．

    　　Federal regulations prohibit letter carriers from accepting cash gifts in any amount, or gifts worth ＄ 20 or more from customers．

    　　If you are in doubt, ask whether it is appropriate to tip or whether a tip is included in the bill．Bribery(贿赂)is not considered appropriate and often illegal．Attempting to bribe a policeman will certainly get you arrested．

    　　When women sit together to watch a movie on TV, they usually talk simultaneously(同时的)about a variety of subjects, including children, men, careers and what's happening in their lives．When groups of men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up．Men can either talk or watch the screen－they can't do both-and they don't understand that women can．Besides, women consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships－not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen．

    　　During the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot and tell him where the relationship between the characters is going．He is unable, unlike women, to read the subtle body language signals that reveal how the characters are feeling emotionally．Since women originally spent their days with the other women and children in the group, they developed the ability to communicate successfully in order to maintain relationships．For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose：to build relationships and make friends．For men, to talk is to relate the facts．

    　　Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but a woman sees it as a means of bonding．A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours．

    　　There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girls'mothers talked them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys．Psychiatrist Dr Michael Lewis, author Social Behaviour and Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked to and looked at, baby girls more often than baby boys．Scientific evidence shows parents res the brain bias of their children．Since a girl's brain is better organized to send and receive speech, we therefore talk to them more．Consequently, mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually pointed to receive only short grunts in reply．
