In America alone, tipping is now a $16 billion-a-year industry. A recent poll showed that 40% of Americans hate the 【C1】______. 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. But according to new research from Cornell University, tipping no longer serves any useful functions.
The paper analyses data from 2,547 groups dining at 20 different restaurants. The 【C3】______ between larger tips and better service was very weak: only a tiny part of the 【C4】______ in the size of the tip had anything to do with the quality of service. Customers who【C5】______a meal as "excellent" still tipped anywhere between 8% and 37% of the meal price.
Tipping is better explained by culture than by economics. In America, the custom has become 【C6】______: it is regarded as part of the accepted cost of a service. In a New York restaurant, failing to tip at least 15% could well mean 【C7】______ from the waiter. Hairdressers can expect to get 15-20%, the man who delivers your groceries $2. In Europe, tipping is less common; in many restaurants, discretionary (任意的)tipping is being 【C8】______ by a standard service charge. In many Asian countries, tipping has never really caught on at all.
How to account for these national differences? According to Michael Lynn, the Cornell paper’s co-author, countries in which people are more extrovert (外向的), sociable tend to tip more. And, says Mr. Lynn, "in America, where people are outgoing and 【C9】______, tipping is about social approval. If you tip 【C10】______ people think less of you." Icelanders, by contrast, do not usually tip—a measure of their introversion, no doubt.
【C7】
选项
答案
A
解析
空格前为动词mean,空格后为介词短语from the waiter,空格处需填入名词作宾语。上一句谈到,在美国给小费已被广为接受,由此推断“没有支付至少15%的小费”会导致不好的结果,填入的名词应含消极的意义,abuse“辱骂”符合语境,故选A。compliments“奉承,恭维”为反向干扰,可排除。
