Everybody loathes it, but everybody does it. A recent poll showed that 40% of Americans【C1】______the practice. In America alone, tipping is now a $16 billion-a-year industry. Tips should not exist. So why do they? The conventional wisdom is that tips both【C2】______the efforts of good service and reduce uncomfortable feelings of inequality. The better the service, the bigger the tip.

In Europe, tipping is less common; in many restaurants, discretionary tipping is being【C6】______by a standard service charge. In many Asian countries, tipping has【C7】______really caught on at all.

Tipping relieves anxiety about being served by strangers. And, says Mr. Lynn, "in America, where people are【C9】______and expressive, tipping is about social approval. If you tip badly, people think less of you. Tipping well is a chance to show off. " Icelanders, by contrast, do not usually tip—a measure of their【C10】______, no doubt.
A)reward B)extroversion C)additional D)weak
E)replaced F)ever G)abuse H)account
I)introversion J)never K)accepted L)torture
M)outgoing N)hate O)vague
