A Family Left a Waitress 'Lifestyle' Tip instead of Cash

    A family who didn't tip a waitress on a $100 bill because they didn't approve of her 'lifestyle' may not be welcome back at Gallop Asian Bistro here.
    A couple dining with their two middle-school-age children Wednesday made their judgment of Dayna Morales, a Marine veteran, simply by looking at her. They let her know what they thought with a scribbled (潦草书写) message on their $93.55 check.
    'I'm sorry but I cannot tip because I do not agree with your lifestyle and how you live your life,' the note reads.
    'The short hair and clothes just gave it away in her eyes,' Morales, 22, said Thursday evening after she had posted a picture of the check and her own rant(痛骂) on a gay-friendly Facebook page called 'Have a Gay Day.'
    Her post went viral on the Internet and was picked up by national websites, including the Huffington Post. She said the response has 'put a smile on my face.'
    Morales said when she introduced herself to the family at the table the woman responded, 'Oh, I thought you were going to say your name is Dan. You surprised us!'
    Morales didn't respond, but never thought they wouldn't leave a tip.
    'You've got to bite your tongue and kiss up (溜须拍马). We live off tips,' she said about life as a restaurant server.
    She shared what happened online because 'others need to be informed this is still going on'.
    She said her boss isn't upset with her posting the check—in fact, the family may not be allowed back at the restaurant, which opened about four months ago.
    'We are kind of a big family so they all took it to heart. My manager assured me that if they had seen the check before the family left they would have confronted them,' she said.
    Morales, who lives in Bedminster, N.J., served in the Marine Corps from 2009 to 2011. She once taught preschool with Children of America in New York.
    Servers have taken their rage at stingy (吝啬的) customers to Facebook and the blogs in recent years, and their online rants track a nice-nasty trend of notes without tips.
单选题     Why didn't the family tip Dayna Morales?
 
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】根据题干中的why didn't the family tip定位到原文第三段。该段直接引用那家人留言的内容,指出他们不给莫拉莱斯小费的原因是因为他们不认同她的“生活方式”。紧接着第四段中提到莫拉莱斯在一个支持同性恋的网页上发表自己的愤怒。并且第六段中指出,在莫拉莱斯向那家人介绍自己时,那家人非常吃惊,那位女士回应说她还以为莫拉莱斯会说自己叫丹,而丹是个男孩的名字。由此不难推知那家人所不满意的“生活方式”是指莫拉莱斯的同性恋身份,故选B。
单选题     Why was Morales so angry?
 
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】根据题干中的so angry定位到原文第四段。该段提到莫拉莱斯在一个支持同性恋的脸书页面上发布了那张支票,并表达了自己的愤慨。根据上文可知,一家人由于对她同性恋身份的不满拒绝给小费,并在账单背面写出了对她同性恋生活方式的不满。由此可以推断令莫拉莱斯生气的是那家人对她不友好和不公正的态度和做法,故选D。

【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】根据题干中的the attitude of Morales' boss定位到原文倒数第四段。该段提到,莫拉莱斯说她的老板没有对她发布那张支票照片的行为表示不满——实际上,这个家庭可能再也不能踏入这家仅开业约四个月的餐馆了。紧接着存第十一段中直接引用莫拉莱斯的话指出,她和她所工作的餐馆中的人就像一家人一样。由此不难推知莫拉莱斯的老板是全心全意支持她的,故选B。
单选题     What do the servers' online rants imply?
 
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】根据题干中的servers' online rants imply定位到文章最后一段。该段提到,近年来,很多服务员都在脸书和博客里发泄他们对吝啬的顾客的愤怒,而他们的线上咆哮反映了顾客留言却不给留小费的似好非好的趋势。四个选项中只有C项表述符合原文,故选C。
