“Save the whales!”That's what the picture on Jake Smith's bedroom wall said.Jake
liked having a picture that said something important:that showed he cared.He just never
expected to get a chance to save a real whale,right in his own neighborhood.
It was a Saturday morning when the newspaper first reported the whales' coming.A group
of the animals were swimming close to the beach in Jake's hometown.All the local people
rushed out to the beach to see them.They were expecting a beautiful show,better than a movie,
but nothing they'd have to do anything about.
Then one whale swam in the direction,directly towards land.It came in with the waves(波
浪）,and when the waves receded,its huge body was on the sand.Suddenly,Jake and his
family and all the others became rescuers(救助者）.A few people ran towards the animal.They
pushed and tried to force the whale back into the water,but it was no use.
An animal rescue service team son arrived in a truck with heavy lifting machine,to help
move the animal.Jack and his family couldn't do much on the beach,so they went back to their
house and made sandwiches and hot tea for the rescuers.At least,Jake thought,they could help
in some way.
Back at the beach,they offered the food to the rescuers and were happy to see that it was
needed.It was getting dark.Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shined the
headlights(前灯）on the sand.The rescuers would not give up.After trying many times,they
were finally able to lift the whale into the water.Everyone cheered when it headed out to sea.It
swam out about a mile and then disappeared for a moment under the sea.Then,in what looked

to save his life.

Save the Sharks!
Many have heard of shark fin soup.This famous and expensive dish is especially popular
in southern China.But do you realize that you're killing a whole shark each time you enjoy a
bowl of shark fin soup?
When people catch sharks,they cut off their fins and throw the shark back into the ocean.
This is not only cruel,but also harmful to the environment.Without a fin,a shark can no longer
swim and slowly dies.Sharks are at the top of the food chain in the ocean's ecosystem.If their
numbers drop too low,it will bring danger to all ocean life.Many believe that sharks can never
be endangered because they are the strongest in their food chain.But in fact,around 70 million
sharks are caught and traded in this industry every year.The numbers of some kinds of sharks
have fallen by over 90 percent in the last 20 to 30 years.
Environmental protection groups around the world,such as Wild Aid and the WWF,are
teaching the public about“finning”.They have even asked governments to develop laws to
stop the sale of shark fins.So far,no scientific studies have shown that shark fins are good for
health,so why eat them?Help save the sharks!

A major tip(小费）for eating at US restaurants
—US people have a custom to tip servers.
If you ever go to the US and eat at a restaurant,there's a very important difference
you should know about.US people have a custom to give money to waiters and waitresses
as a tip for their work.
But why is this?Shouldn't waiters get paid enough by their bosses?Well,many
waiters and waitresses get paid below the US minimum wage(最低工资）and work for tips
to make up for that.According to the American travel website Trip Advisor,some states
pay their servers（服务员）only $2.13(about 14 yuan)per hour.
While no one makes you tip,if you are at a sit-down restaurant,it is usually expected
that you tip your waiter 15 to 20 percent of what your bill is.
It's not just for waiters either.Hotel maids,hairdressers and taxi drivers also usually
work for tips.But it is much more expected to tip waiters.
The US hasn't always had this tipping culture.In fact,people were mostly against it
until the Prohibition Era（禁酒令时代)in the 1920s.The government said no one could sell
alcohol(酒).Then,restaurants had trouble making enough money.So,they started to ask
people to tip their waiters.
This tipping culture has lasted through the years,but most people don't like it.Some
think restaurant bosses use it as an excuse to not pay their workers well.There isn't much
action being taken to make a change yet.So,for now,be sure to tip your waiter when in the
US.
Answer the following questions:
Are waiters and waitresses well paid in the US?
How much do you usually tip the server?
Who also works for tips in the US?
When restaurants couldn't sell alcohol,what happened?
65.What do most people think about this tipping culture?

often chat with their teachers,friends and relatives who came to congratulate them.They also
take photos with one another and talk to one another about their future.
The graduation ceremony is exciting because it-marks the end of a period in a student's
