18、rustrated, mertie gave in and went to the market to search fresh tomatoes. while paying, mertie told the farmer her troubles. the farmer paused to think for a moment and then asked, “well, what kind of tomatoes did you plant?”“i think they were called big boy,” mertie remembered.“well theres your pr

19、oblem,” the farmer explained. “big boy and better boy tomatoes have a 95-day growing period whereas regular tomato plants produce fruit in as few as 70 daysyou just have to wait a little longer for the big boys.”with that new knowledge, mertie went home with excitement, knowing they would be worth t

21、ted to see them a few weeks later.it makes me wonder how many of us have “big boy” dreams in our hearts, yet we just dont realize that they are of the “big boy” variety so we are discouraged and worn out with the waiting process. instead of waiting with excitement, we give up on our dreams and figur

36、ling of classism (階級(jí)歧視)and in theory, handing restaurant customers the power to tip is at least supposed to motivate better service. this fails in practice because humans turn out to be pretty arbitrary (隨意的) about their tipping behavior. research has shown that the amount diners tip has very little

37、 to do with their level of satisfaction. all of this doesnt encourage waiters and waitresses to do anything but turn over as many tables as possible.tipping is also very unfair to kitchen staff. the law allows restaurants to divide tips between front-of-the-house workers like waiters, hosts, hostess

38、es, and bartenders (調(diào)酒師), but not cooks. this creates a system in which the people serving the food in a restaurant can earn more than the people preparing itone of the most fascinating parts of meyers move is that, unlike some restaurant owners who have taken an anti-tipping stand, he wont simply a

39、dd a standard extra charge to diners bills. rather, union square hospitality group means to raise menu prices enough to fully cover the cost of a meal. if meyer manages to move away from tipping at all without hurting his profits, it would almost certainly set the stage for others to follow suit.32.

44、eback, it made sense to keep to the left to have their right arms closer to their enemies. getting on or off was also easier from the left side of the horse, and safer done by the side of the road than in the center. 38. things changed in the late 1700s when large wagons pulled by several pairs of h

45、orses were used to transport farm products in france and the united states. in the absence of a drivers seat inside the wagon, the driver sat behind the left horse, with his right arm free to use his whip to keep the horses moving. since he was sitting on the left, he wanted other wagons to pass on

46、his left. 39. the british government refused to give up their left-hand driving ways, and in 1773 introduced the general highways act, which encouraged driving on the left.when henry ford unveiled (為揭幕) his model t in 1908, the drivers seat was on the left, meaning that cars would have to drive on t
