The Chinese school system requires(要求)that you sit and listen for long periods of time. But not everyone is 68 at sitting and listening. The Chinese system is only one “way” of learning. But there are 69 “ways” which may work better for you.
And, remember many poor students have done better than good students in the “real world”: hey, Bill Gates was a university dropout（辍学学生）!

D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题): (6%)
You’ve finished eating a tasty meal in a British restaurant and the bill has been paid. But why are people giving more money Are they mad Not at all. They are leaving a tip（小费）!
A tip is a small amount of money that you give to someone to say “Thank you” for good service. Tipping is very common in many places in Britain. For example, it’s common to tip in restaurants, taxis, hotels and even hairdressing salons! People give 10 to 15 percent of the final bill as a tip. Sometimes the tip is added to the bill. Other times you leave the money after having paid.
These days, it can be impolite not to give a tip. It’s normal now to tip people even if you haven’t had good services!
This new custom（习俗）has come from America. Tipping like this has only been in Britain for the last 20 years.
Lots of British people do not agree with this. Once, British people would only tip if they had very good services.
British people also tip other people, like window cleaners and the postman as a way of thanking them for doing a good job. People usually do this at a special time of the year, such as Christmas. This is an old Britain custom.
Some people think the word “tip” comes from a slang（俚语）word used by thieves a long time ago in Britain. Then, “tip” meant “to pass from one to another”.
Why do the people in Britain give more money in a restaurant
Tipping is a very popular thing in all the places in Britain, isn’t it
How much do people give as a tip
Are all the British people used to the new custom of tipping
When did British people tip before
What do you think of tipping
E. Writing.
Write at least 60 words about “A day at school”. Use the suggested questions below （ 结合你的实际, 根据问题提示，以“学校的一天” 为题，写一篇至少六十个词的短文，要求意思明确，内容连贯，标点符号不占格。）: （12%）
