HONG KONG
Tipping is de rigueur in this money-mad metropolis at all but the lowest establishments. Even bathrooms in posh hotels have little dishes for loose change.
Restaurants: Most places automatically add a 10% service charge to the bill, but the surcharge often ends up in the pocket of the owner, not the staff kitty. If the service is good, add another 10% to the bill, up to HK$100 if you're in an especially nice restaurant.
Porters: HK $10 should do it at all but the nicest hotels where a crisp HK $20 bill may be more acceptable.
Taxis: Round up to the nearest dollar, although many drivers will do this on their own when making change.
MANILA
Tipping is common in Manila, and anything above 10% will gain you undying loyalty.
Restaurants: Even if a service charge is included, custom dictates adding another 5%- 10% to the bill.
Porters: Service in top hotels is good and should be rewarded with 20 pesos per bag.
Taxis: Most cabs are metered, and rounding up to the next five pesos is a good rule of thumb.
SEOUL
Tipping is no part of Korean culture, although it has become a matter of course in international hotels where a 10% service charge is often added.
Restaurants: If you're at a Korean barbecue joint, there's no need to add anything extra. But a sleek Italian restaurant may require a 10% contribution.
Porters: If you're at a top-end hotel, international standards apply, so expect to give 500~l 000 won per bag.
Taxis: Drivers don't expect a tip, so unless you're feeling remarkably generous, keep the change for yourself.
SINGAPORE
According to government mandate in the Lion City, tipping is a no-no. It's basically outlawed at Changi Airport and officials encourage tourists not to add the 10% service charge that many high-end hotels add on to the bill.
Porters: Hotel staff are the one exception to the no-tipping rule. As a general guide, S$l should be adequate for baggage-lugging service.
Taxis: Drivers don't expect tipping, but they won't refuse if you want to round up the fare to the next Singaporean dollar.

We all enjoy a little extra-special every now and then, whether it's a prime table at our favorite restaurant or an upgrade on that long flight across the Pacific. Being recognized makes us feel valued and we're more likely to do business with someone who takes the time to go that extra mile. E-commerce sites know this, and they're doing everything they can to create personalized environments so we'll want to spend money online. How? By employing cookies.
Cookies are bits of data stored on your computer's hard drive when you visit a website. They can only be read by the site that sets them. Companies use them to store information about you and to track your behavior on a particular website and, of course, your shopping habits.
Cookies help companies personalize their websites. This is how an online bookstore knows you're you. or how a news website knows to show you headlines from your hometown. Retailers use cookies to promote products they think you might like or to target ads that you might find appealing. Cookies also record user IDs and passwords so you don't have to log in each time you visit a site.
Cookies, however, have a darker side too. and all kinds of privacy issues lurk at every bend. On their own, cookies are generally harmless, if mildly intrusive. One potential problem, though, crops up when you enter personal information on a survey. This can be easily linked up with cookies about your surfing habit and the website knows pretty much everything there is to know about you. Often this information is used simply to show you an advertisement for a product you might want to buy. But privacy advocates worry that this information could be misused.
Here's what you can do as online shopper to protect your privacy:
Accept only cookies that get sent back to the originating server. Both Microsoft Explorer and Netscape Communicator offer this option.
Shop only with sites that post online privacy policies.
Be careful about what sort of information you give out in surveys.
Set up a secondary profile using an anonymous e-mail account and bogus ID. It's clandestine, but you'll surf with greater anonymity. Of course, when you actually want to buy something you'll have to give out your real name and address.

大自然对人们的恩赐，无论贫富，一律平等，所以人们对于大自然，全都一致并深深地依赖着。尤其在乡间，上千年来人们一直以不变的方式生活着。种植庄稼和葡萄，酿酒和饮酒，喂牛和挤奶。锄草和栽花；在周末去教堂祈祷和做礼拜，在节日到广场拉琴、跳舞和唱歌；往日的田园依旧是今日的温馨家园。这样，每个地方拥有自己的传说，风俗也就延传了下来。
SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE
Translate the following underlined part of the TEXT into Chinese. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.
The word "winner" and "loser" have many meanings. When we refer to a person as a winner, we do not mean one who makes someone else lose. To us, a winner is one who responds authentically by being credible, trustworthy, responsive, and genuine, both as an individual and as a member of a society.
Winners do not dedicate their lives to a concept of what they imagine they should be; rather, they are themselves and as such do not use their energy putting on a performance, maintaining pretence and manipulating others. They are aware that there is a difference between being loving and acting loving, between being stupid and acting stupid, between being knowledgeable and acting knowledgeable. Winners do not need to hide behind a mask.
Winners are not afraid to do their own thinking and to use their own knowledge. They can separate facts from opinions and don't pretend to have all the answers. They I listen to others; evaluate what they say, but come to their own conclusions. Although winners can admire and respect other people, they are not totally defined, demolished, bound, or awed by them.
Winners do not play "helpless", nor do they play the blaming game. Instead, they assume responsibility for their own lives.

Section A
Nature does the same favor to every human being, whether rich or poor. So all the humans put on the nature deep dependence, especially in the countryside, where people have been living the same life for thousands of years. They plant crops and grapes, make wine to drink, feed the cattle and milk the cow, weed and plant flowers. They go to church at weekends, and play music instruments on the plaza in the festivals, dancing and singing. The previous rural farms remain today's sweet home. In this way, each area has legends of its own and the customs passed down.
Section B
想像中自己应该是什么样的，成功者没有将生命消耗在这种信念上。相反，他们活得有自我，因此，不绞尽脑汁矫揉造作，不试图将他人玩弄于股掌之中。他们知道，真心关爱和虚情假意之间、真傻和装傻之间、真才实学和佯装有才之间界线分明。成功者无需面具掩藏自我。
成功者勇于独立思考，敢于展示才华。他们能将事实和观点区分开来，不假装全懂。他们听人进言，并权衡利弊，从而得出自己的结论。他们会钦佩他人，但他们从不为其所羁绊。
成功者不表现出无助，也不怨天尤人。相反，他们对生活尽职尽责。
PART V
The Most Important Personal Quality of a University Student
Everyone has one or more dreams. But it is much easier to set an aim than to realize it. In the course of obtaining success, we need a number of helps, either external or internal, and the personal qualities are of superior importance. Among the qualities, such as smartness, honesty, confidence, the most important one, in my opinion, is diligence.
We are sure to encounter a number of difficulties on the way to success. On the one hand, we must hold on. On the other hand, we should make efforts to find the best solutions as soon as possible. We have to force ourselves to know more, do more, sweat more. Only working industriously can assure us of a good result.
Being industrious means more work and less relaxation. So diligent people will complete their tasks in a shorter time than others. They will get more information and experience in their work. In the long run they will do their job better and better. Diligence also means broad knowledge and good public relationship. No one will look down upon an industrious person, and no employer will promote an idle one.
In addition, industry is a merit of our Chinese people. It is also a stimulus to Japan's recovery from the disaster of World War II • It is needed to realize our aims and to make our country more prosperous.
