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.
But according to new research from Cornell University, tipping no longer serves any useful function. The paper analyses data from 2,547 groups dining at 20 different restaurants. 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 a New York restaurant, failing to tip at least 15% could well mean【C5】______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 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 [br] 【C6】
选项
答案
E
解析
此处应填动词的被动式。根据句意“在欧洲,付小费没有那么普遍:在许多餐厅,标准服务价格——自由支付的小费”。可知选项中replaced“取代,代替”符合句意。
