Article: One evening last summer, when I asked my 14-year-old son, Ray, for help with dinner, his response shocked me. "What's a colander ? " he asked. I could only blame myself. In the family, nobody else's hands went in the sauce except my own. But that night, as I explained with a touch of panic that a colander is the thing with holes in it, I wondered what else I hadn't prepared Ray for. As parents, while we focus on our sons' confidence and character, we perhaps don't always consider that we are also raising someone's future roommates, boyfriends, husbands, or fathers. I wanted to know that I'd raised a boy who would never ask the woman in his life, "What's for dinner?" So I came up with a plan: I would offer Ray a private home economics course. I was delighted to find that he didn't say no. For two hours, three days a week, Ray was all mine. One day, as his tomato sauce reduced on the stove, he washed and seasoned a chicken for roasting. Then he rolled out the piecrust and filled it with apples, all while listening to my explanation on the importance of preheating an oven. I knew that he would rather have been shooting hoops in the driveway than learning to mend socks with his mother--he tried to beg off sewing lessons, even though I insisted that one day, someone would find the sight of him fixing his own shirt very attractive-- but it couldn't be denied that he was learning, and more than just housekeeping. "I appreciate what you do as a mom," he told me one day. Ray now understands the finer points of cooking, and more importantly, he realizes there's nothing masculine about being helpless. Now, not only can he make his own dinner, but also he can make a big meal for his family. That's what I call a man. I'm glad that I prepared so great a present for my future daughter-in-law.

Read the following article and answer the question. Article: A trip across the Pacific will guarantee you a different experience with a tipping culture you've never come across in China. In the US, giving a little extra money to service workers on top of your bill is a common practice. Though US national law requires that businesses pay workers at least $7.25 (45 yuan) per hour, employees receiving tips--often waiters and waitresses--are the exceptions. They usually only receive at least $2.13 an hour, and tips make up the difference. As theWall Street Journalput it, "The American system of tipping holds the promise of great rewards for waiting staff." So how should you tip if you are in the US. Normally you pay tips as a percentage of the bill. Offering an extra 15 percent of the bill to the waiter or waitress in a restaurant and to the delivery man or woman is customary and expected. You can offer more for great service and less for poor service. Yet there is an exception. For take-out food, you don't have to provide tips, though some people say that filling an order still requires work and time that deserve a little extra--but maybe a little less. Tips are not expected at fast food restaurants, cafes or ice cream shops either, though a tip jar might be right by the cash register . Don't feel _ to throw some money in, but also remember that it doesn't hurt. Those workers do not rely on tips. Other service workers also receive tips. For taxi drivers, 15 percent is the norm , more if they help with your bags. Hairdressers often receive about 15 percent of the bill. The same goes for spa therapists and tour guides. Today, you can even pay tips on a credit card. When receiving a copy of the bill to sign, you are free to fill in how much you'd like to tip. Though thinking about when to tip and how much you should tip causes a big headache for many Chinese people, it's important to bear in mind that as long as you show respect and use your reasoning, things will be just fine. Question: What is the article mainly about? Answer:

OPTIONS:
- How tipping culture started in the US.
- How to giving tips properly in the US.
- New ways to give tips in the US.
- The different attitudes that Chinese people and Americans have toward tipping.

Answer: How to giving tips properly in the US.

Read the following article and answer the question. Article: Perhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money.
