Passage Four

I hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At young age you ought to be growing away from you parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet.

But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are a1l taking the same way of snowing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out on their own，most of them are clutching at one another’s hands for reassurance.

They say they want to dress as they please，but all of them wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music ，but all of them end up huddled round listening to the same record.Their reason for thinking or acting in this and that way is that the crowd is doing it. (84)It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and go his or her own way. These days every teenager can 1earn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today ’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. (85)All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path. But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don ’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well ，go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come-will the people who respect you for who you are. That’s the only kind of popularity that really counts.The author ’s purpose in writing this passage is to tell _____.

Passage Four

There are two common explanations for origin of tipping. The Oxford English Dictionary says tip was seventeenth-century underworld slang for —giveas in ― Tip me your money or your life. Opponents (85) of tipping will probably prefer this explanation, since it suggests the practice as originally a form of robbery. A less reputable, but nonetheless charming explanation is that in Renaissance( 文艺复兴 ) coffeehouses, boxes were set near the door, into which customers could drop money: These boxes, according to the story, bore the legend ― To Insure Promptitude, which was ultimately shortened to TIP. Whether it was a serving woman or a boss with his or her eye on depressing wages who first thought up the idea, the story does not say.

Tipping became common in England by the middle of the eighteenth century. Because it is ill-suited to a country without an established servant class,it did not catch on in America until after the Civil War, when former slaveholders suddenly found themselves having to pay the help and when new-rich industrialists adopted the European fashion. By the turn of the century, we had made the custom our own, and the American ― big tipper was on his way. Today, although the lines between bribery( 贿赂 ) and thanks for services remain as vague as ever, tipping has become universal, not least because, in an increasingly uncertain economy, it provides the growing service class with income that is at least as reliable as wages and that is less subject to tax review. Not surprisingly, government officials as among the few die-hards who still question the tipping system. They have a point too. Tippers ’ International Association estimates that U.S. workers get about $5 billion a year in tips.Tipping did not become popular in U.S. until after the Civil War because______.
