“Tipping（给小费）”is always a difficult business．You do not want to give too much or too little，or tip the wrong person ．
In Britain and America，people usually tip waiters in restaurants，porters，taxi drivers and hairdressers．They do not tip people in offices，cinemas，garages，or airports．
Do you invite your friend to the restaurant？Then you pay the bill．Does your friend invite you？Your friend pays．If there are men and women in the party，the men usually pay．
These days，men and women are equal in many ways．If you work in Britain or America，your boss could be a man or a woman．There are increasing numbers of women in important positions in politics，law ，medicine and in the business world．
But it is still polite for a man to open doors for women and to ask them to go first．And it is polite for men to stand up when they are in troduced to women．On in formal occasions（非正式场合），of course，everyone is more relaxed．
