After living and teaching in China for 10 months, my wife and I returned to California to visit our children and
friends. Many of them asked what we liked most about China. The friendly people, the wonderful food, and the
beautiful sights were at the top of our list. Then one night, after yet another restaurant dinner with friends, I
realized that there was one other thing that I really liked about China: No
tipping.
Tipping is a subject that has long interested me.are require tipping that of three America, In the kinds services waiters/waitresses, taxidrivers, and barbers. The standard tip is now between
/ 310
15 and 20 per cent of the bill, depending on the quality of service. Why these three particular services deserve this special treatment is a mystery to me. Why am I supposed to tip a waiter for bring me food when I don't need to tip the flight attendant on an airplane for doing the same thing? Why do I need to tip a taxi drive, but not the bus
driver? Why am I expected to tip the barber for cutting my hair but not the dentist for fixing my teeth? I have been a teacher for 39 years. No one has ever tipped me after a particularly successful class or lecture.
The whole concept of tipping doesn't make any sense. I have heard that there are some expensive restaurants
in major cities in the US where the restaurant does not give the waiters any salary at all due to the large amounts of the tips.
The tipping problem in many European countries is solved by adding a 15 per cent to the bill. I prefer the
Chinese solution: No tipping at all.
When I was visiting the US this summer, I went out to dinner several times with friends. Having spent 10
month in China not even thinking about tipping, I found it irritating to have to spend extra money on the meal -- especially when the amount of the tip would every often buy a meal in China. While I understand why China, as a developing nation, has gradually accepted many Western customary practices, I hope the Chinese are wise
enough to never start the unnecessary practice of tipping.
26.What made the writer realize that he liked no tipping most about China ?
A. Talking with his friends .
B. Returning to California.
C. Giving a large amount of tips.
D. Having dinner in
