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.

The correlation between larger tips and better service was very【C3】______: only a tiny part of the variability in the size of the tip had anything to do with the quality of service. Customers who rated a meal as "excellent" still tipped anywhere between 8% and 37% of the meal price.

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.

I)introversion J)never K)accepted L)torture
M)outgoing N)hate O)vague [br] 【C1】
选项
答案
N
解析
此处应填动词。根据首句句意“美国人憎恶给小费,但是人人都得给小费”推断该空所填动词含有情感色彩,而且和loathe是近义词,选项hate“讨厌,厌恶”合适,为正确答案。
