Directions: Read the texts from a magazine article in which five people talk about tipping in a restaurant. For questions 36-40, match the name of each person to one of the statements (A-G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSER SHEET.

　　Richard:

　　I`ve always viewed tipping as a way of saying “thank you” to the one who serves me. I believe what is bad is when no tip is left at all. The better the service, the higher the tip. Unless the service is literally perfect, I never tip more than 10% of the bill. Much like the harder teachers in school, I never give an easy “A.” My assessment is honest.

　　Daniel:

　　A tip is a “thank you”, but in truth, a tip is a payment for service. 20% is a standard tip. Service deserve it for their hard work. Restaurant will never pay more for labor unless they are forced to do by new laws. Tips make up about 97% of a servicer`s total income. Those tips are needed for survival. So before servers are paid a living wage, tip 20%.

　　Kate:

　　Why should I pay the difference between what the restaurant is willing to pay the employee and what an acceptable wage is? I do pay 20%, but I hate it. A friend of mine left Europe for New York City, found a job in a restaurant there and ended up making $5,500 a month. Enough above minimum wage? How about miners, construction workers, resident doctors, etc? Do they get tipped?

　　Patricia:

　　18-20% for good service is today`s standard. The restaurant and its employees are too polite to tell you this or to put it on their menus, but that is their expectation and you need to understand that. I believe it is good manners to respect this. To do otherwise is to be openly rude. If you disagree, you are wise to eat elsewhere, as you are hunting a hardworking professional.

　　Michael:

　　Tipping has gotten out of control. I always had thought it was 15%, and now suddenly servers have made it 20%. I tip 15%, that`s it. If the service is really superior, then I work higher from there. Interesting to be told, “If you can`t afford to tip 20%, then you should eat at home.” If all those people stayed away, the restaurant would not even be in business.

　　Now match the name of each person (36-40) to the appropriate statement.

　　Note: there are two extra statements.

　　36. Richard [A] It`s rude not to tip.

　　37. Daniel [B] I do tip, though I don`t like it.

　　38. Kate [C] Tipping shouldn`t be compulsory.

　　39. Patricia [D] Tips are essential to servers` survival.

　　40. Michael [E] If you don`t tip, you are punishing the server.

　　[F] I don`t think the current tipping standard is too high.

　　[G] My tip faithfully reflects how good the service is.
