答案:  
    Part I Writing
    One possible version:
    Studying Abroad
    Nowadays, more and more students are going abroad for their studies. They enter prestigious universities and institutions and get diplomas there.
    There are several advantages of studying abroad. For one thing, living and studying abroad offers students a different perspective of the world. On a university campus, they are likely to encounter fellow students from various countries and areas, and to be exposed to diverse ideas and values. For another thing, studying abroad offers students the best opportunity to improve their second-language skills, because living in another country is the best opportunity for the real-life use of foreign languages.
    As far as I am concerned, although going abroad is expensive and perhaps painful, students can benefit from it. In the first place, students can gain precious experience that those who stay at home will never have, and then be better prepared for the fierce competition in the job-hunting market. Furthermore, the overseas experience can sharpen students’ strengths, such as patience, tolerance, persistence, etc.
    Part II
    Reading Comprehension
    (Skimming and Scanning)
    1. N。 參見第一段第三句話 “Tips are not required, but they are expected by many people in the service industry.” 可知,小費不是非給不可,只是在服務(wù)業(yè)工作的許多人都希望得到小費。
    2. Y。 參見第二段第三句話“If a number of bottles of wine are ordered during the course of the meal, the prevailing belief is that the wine costs should not be figured into the final tip.” 可知,如果在用餐過程中顧客點了很多瓶酒,一般人的看法是酒的價錢不應(yīng)該包括在最后的小費中。
    3. Y。 參見第三段最后兩句話“Many cities around the world have established a rider’s bill of rights, which tells riders they have the right to enjoy, for example, air conditioning on command, a radio-free ride, smoke-free air, and a clean seat. Riders are encouraged not to tip if the rights are not complied with.” 可知,全世界的許多城市都建立了乘客權(quán)利法案,它規(guī)定乘客有權(quán)利享受以下服務(wù),諸如:要求開空調(diào),免費聽收音機,車內(nèi)禁止吸煙以及干凈的座位。如果乘客的權(quán)利沒有得到滿足的話,他們可以不付小費。
    4. N。 參見第四段可知,美容院和美發(fā)店里提供不同服務(wù)的人會得到不同金額的小費,而不是每個人都會得到15%的小費。
    5. N。參見第五段最后一句話可知,對于比較復(fù)雜的服務(wù),付10到20美元的小費是比較合適的,而不是賬單的10%到20%。
    6. Y。 參見 Time Your Tipping 下的段落中“If, however, you would like to ensure special service throughout your stay (say, from the doorman), a larger tip up front is a good idea.”可知,在你逗留期間如果你想,比如說從看門人那里得到特殊的服務(wù),提前付更多的小費是明智之舉。
    7.NG。 參見Know Your Tipping Tendencies下的段落中 “Tipping goes up universally when the weather is good, lower when it is not.” 可知,天氣好時小費普遍給的多,相反天氣不好時小費就給的少,但是并沒有提到出現(xiàn)這種現(xiàn)象的原因。
    8. no tipping policies。 參見Know the Tipping Policy下的段落中 “Increasingly, high-end hotels are instituting ‘no tipping policies’that include gratuities in the price of the room.” 可知,越來越多的高檔旅館將要實行小費包含在房間費內(nèi)的“無小費政策”。
    9. giving a larger tip。 參見最后一段中“On the other hand, consider giving a larger tip for those who go out of their way to provide personalized or stand-out service.” 可知,另一方面對于那些特意提供個性化和突出服務(wù)的人,要考慮多給他們小費。
    10. the proper tipping etiquette。 參見最后一段中“Check a travel guide for the particular country you will be visiting for the proper tipping etiquette.” 可知,要查看一下你將要出游的國家的旅游指南中關(guān)于正確地付小費規(guī)矩方面的內(nèi)容。
