问题 It is implied in the passage that______.
What can we know about the origin of "tip"?
选项 A、It originated from the English inn service.
B、The original purpose of tip was to ensure that waiter could get more money.
C、The waiter threatened the customers with bad service if no tips were given.
D、It originated in a small English village.
答案A
解析 本题是细节题。"小费"这个词的来源是什么?文章在第3段提到了TIP这个词的起源。Such explanations no doubt explain the purported origin of tipping-in the 16th century，boxes in English taverns carried the Phrase "To Insure Promptitude"(later just "TIP")．tavern的意思是"小旅馆，客栈"，与答案选项中的inn是同义词，所以是正确答案。TIP的意思是保证快速服务，选项"保证服务生得到更多的钱"显然不对。
