How Much to Tip

　　You're out to dinner．The food is delicious and the service is fine．You decide to leave a big fat tip．Why?The answer may not be as simple as you think．

　　Tipping, psychologists have found, 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 waiter's choice of words, to how they carry themselves while taking orders, to the bill's total．Even how much waiters remind customers of themselves 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 toward 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．The 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 on 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 for ＄100．

　　“That's 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 weren't there, you'd never get any service．So part of the idea of a tip is for just being there．”

Deciding what to watch on TV is a battle of wills that is fought in homes all over the world. According to psychologists （心理学家）, it is much more serious than simply deciding between a soap opera and a sports program, or between pop music and politics. This television conflict is part of a bigger power game which goes on in homes, even though most of the players do not realize that they are playing a game at all. “It’s such a game as is not easy to notice,” says psychologist Dr. David Lewis, “that many people don’t even know they’re playing it.”

Unconsciously, people begin to play the game as soon as they meet their future husband and wife. By the time toe couple get married, the rules of game are already formed. The big decision, like where to live and which school to send the children to, are usually joint decision. When it comes to less important things, it’s a different matter. Here is just one example of this process at work. A husband looks through a pile of holiday brochures （小册子） and announces his preference: “The South of France.” And his wife quickly agrees before he realizes that the only brochures she gave him were those for the South of France. Similarly, she may decide on how the home should be decorated, but he chooses the new car and decides what the family does at weekends.

“Family power struggles are interesting,” says Dr. Lewis. “Of course, some people are naturally more dominant （占统治地位） than others, and the most dominant personality in a family tries to lead. These days, even though some many couples make a special effort to have a true and equal partnership, men generally have a greater need to appear to be in physical control. Women, on the other hand, are not so interested in physical control as in emotional control. On the whole, they’re more controlling and can make the man think of something as his idea in the first place.”

1．What is the psychologists’ opinion about choosing a TV program at home?

A．It’s likely to cause family quarrels.

B．It’s an interesting game a family likes to play.

C．It’s difficult to choose with so many programs.

D．It’s a matter of power in a family.

2．According to the passage, which decision is made by the couple together?

A．How to decorate their home. B．Where to settle down.

C．What kind of car to buy. D．What to do at weekends.

3．What can we learn about family decision – making from the passage?

A．Men have the final say in the family.

B．Men are much better controlled than women.

C．Women are rather skillful in influencing men.

D．Women are emotional about important matters.

4．Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

A．Why people fight for power at home

B．Whose finger is on the button at home.

C．How family members play games at home
