In Los Angeles， a waiter served a group of teens． The waiter remembered his experience as a young high school student． So he made sure the teens had a pleasant experience at the restaurant． The waiter made sure of it．

After serving all the teens doing a great job， he was left a tip（消费），only￥3.28． That was hardly enough to buy a drink at Starbucks． The waiter went home． And he felt hatred for the students who did not know the value of hard work． They looked down on people like him． Or so he thought．

After several days， the waiter forgot about it． His life went on as usual． But ten days later， he received a letter from the teens．

"About a week and a half ago， on October 7， my three friends and I came to eat at this restaurant as our own homecoming celebration． It was an exciting experience for us to be here alone， and it was all new to us． And you were the best waiter we could ask for． You were kind， helpful， and didn't treat us like babies! So I want to say thank you for making our 'grown﹣up' experience so amazing and fun． "I would also like to say sorry on behalf of（代表） my group． Since we were new to all of this，our 13﹣year﹣old minds didn't exactly know how to deal with the bill．The bill was reasonable（合乎情理），but we had completely forgotten（and didn't know，to be honest） what a tip even was， let alone how much to give． So we emptied our pockets， and all our money added up to ￥3.28． "Having no idea of how small this really was ，we left． Later， we realized our mistake and felt terrible． We knew we had to make it right．" "So together with this letter， you wail find the correct 18% tip + extra for simply being amazing． Thank you for your help and patience and also thank you for making our night fun． Thank you!"

The spring season brings warm weather， flowers and other changes for people to enjoy．For some restaurant cooks， the most exciting spring arrival is ramps．

Ramps are a wild plant in the eastern mountains of North America． They are one of the first plants that grow in the spring， usually between April and May． They are recognized（意识） by their red stem（茎）， and two long and wide green leaves． They are also famous for their strong taste， similar to onions（洋葱）．

Ramps are not as well﹣known as other vegetables， but they have a long history in the United States． In the Appalachian Mountains， ramps have been an important food for a longtime． During spring， it is common for small towns in the Appalachian area to hold large ramp dinners for the community．

However， over the last 30 years， ramps' popularity has grown quickly． They are now a highly﹣desired vegetable for many nice restaurants in cities like New York and Washington D．C．

One reason the plant is popular is that it grows in the wild． It is difficult to grow them on farms． Most restaurants get them from foragers， who collect ramps by searching forests for some small pieces of land where theygrow． Ramps have a short season． Within a few weeks of full growth， the plant is done for the year． This shot life is some reason for their popularity．

And that popularity could lead Io their disappearance from Earth． In 1995， the local government in Quebec， Canada， stopped people selling the plant to businesses in order to protect the plant against being over﹣dug．

The season is short， but it has not ended yet． If you are in the right place， you still have time to try a taste of ramps yourself．

（2）Which of the following is the picture of a ramp？

Dear Linda，

（1） 　　

   As I told you yesterday， I am in Rome today． Tomorrow we are getting the train down into the south of the country and then a ship across to Greece．

（2） 　　

   We started in England and we spent two days in London and another day in Canterbury．We visited a lot of great history and the only bad thing was the weather﹣it rained the whole time we were there． Can you believe it？

（3） 　　

   Well， I have to say I prefer the American Disneyland． But we we met some nice people from Canada and spent two great days with them．One of them，Clive，is going to your university next year．How's that for a coincidence（巧合）!

（4） 　　

   After that，we went south into Switzerland． It was very expensive and we couldn't stay as long as we wanted to，so that's why we're in Italy now!

（5） 　　

   See you soon．

                                                                                                                                 Mike
