You decide to leave a big fat tip. Why? The answer may not be as simple as you think.Tipping, psychologists have f
44、ound, is not just about service. Instead, studies have shown that tipping can be affected by psychological reactions to a series of different factors from the waiters choice of words, to how they carry themselves while taking orders, to the bills total. Even how much waiters remind customers of them
45、selves can determine how much change they pocket by the end of the night.“Studies before have shown that mimicry (模仿) brings into positive feelings for the mimicker,” wrote Rick van Baaren, a social psychology professor. “These studies show that people who are being mimicked become more generous tow
46、ard the person who mimics them.”So Rick van Baaren divided 59 waiters into two groups. He requested that half serve with a phrase such as, “Coming up!” Those in the other half were instructed to repeat the orders and preferences back to the customers. Rick van Baaren then compared their take-home. T
47、he results were clear it pays to mimic your customer. The copycat(模仿者) waiters earned almost double the amount of tips to the other group.Leonard Green and Joel Myerson, psychologists at Washington University in St. Louis, found the generosity of a tipper may be limited by his bill. After research o
48、n the 1,000 tips left for waiters, cabdrivers, hair stylists, they found tip percentages in these three areas dropped as customers bills went up. In fact, tip percentages appear to plateau (达到稳定水平) when bills topped $100 and a bill for $200 made the worker gain no bigger percentage tip than a bill f
49、or $100.“Thats also a point of tipping,” Green says. “You have to give a little extra to the cab driver for being there to pick you up and something to the waiter for being there to serve you. If they werent there, youd never get any service. So part of the idea of a tip is for just being there.”63.
50、 Apart from service, how many other factors affecting the customers tipping are mentioned in the passage?A. 1.B. 2.C. 3.D. 4.64. These studies show that _.A. tipping can be affected by physical reactions to many different waiters factorsB. people who are being mimicked usually tip less to the person
51、 who mimics them C. the mimic waiters can get almost twice as much money as the other groupD. mimicry makes the mimicker feel bad65.

We know from the passage that the writer seems to _.A. object to Mr. Greens idea about tippingB. think part of Mr. Greens explanation is reasonableC. give his generous tip to waiters very oftenD. support the opinions
53、 of Mr. Green and Rick van Baaren about tippingD“In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight.”“Two full inches in the first three days!”These are the kinds of statements used in magazine，newspaper, radio and television ads, promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the d
54、evice. The promoters of products say they can shape the legs, slim the face, smooth wrinkles, or in some other way to add to beauty or desirability.Often such products are nothing more than money-making things for their promoters. The results they produce are questionable, and some are dangerous to
55、health.To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public, it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation. If the product is a drug, FDA(Food and Drug Administration)can require proof under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that is safe and effective
56、 before it is put on the market. But if the product is a device, FDA has no authority to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness. If a product already on the market is a danger to health, FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily, or it can ta

The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads. FDA took legal action against the d
58、istributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life.Obviously, most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings(法律诉讼)，and new devices appear continually.

It all sounded so fun and so great. Here I was selling ten shoes and getting on the bus every day to work in town. We both thought the others life was so much more exciting. I was trying hard to make enough to pay for my own flat every two months and that seemed so exciting to her. And she would talk about studying for finals, and going to parties, and I thought, God, she is so perfect.
