A suitable title for this text might be ___________.[A] How to Develop US Economy[B] The Relation between American Industry and New Economy[C] Digital Engine Powers New Economy[D] Our New Policy on EconomyText 3①When Thomas Keller, one of America’s foremost chefs, announced that on Sept. 1 he would abolish the practice of tipping at Per Se, his luxury restaurant in New York City, and replace it with a Europeanstyle service charge, I knew three groups would be opposed: customers, servers and restaurant owners. ②These three groups are all mitted to tipping—as they quickly made clear on Web sites. ③To oppose tipping, it seems, is to be anticapitalist, and maybe even a little French.①But Mr. Keller is right to move away from tipping—and it’s worth exploring why just about everyone else in the restaurant world is wrong to stick with the practice.①Customers believe in tipping because they think it makes economic sense. ②“Waiters know that they won’t get paid if they don’t do a good job” is how most advocates of the system would put it. ③To be sure, this is a tempting, apparently rational statement about economic theory, but it appears to have little applicability to the real world of restaurants.①Michael Lynn, an associate professor of consumer behavior and marketing at Cornell’s School of Hotel Administration, has conducted dozens of studies of tipping and has concluded that consumer’s assessments of the quality of service correlate weakly to the amount they tip.①Rather, customers are likely to tip more in response to servers touching them lightly and leaning forward next to the table to make conversation than to how often their water glass is refilled—in other words, customers tip more when they like the server, not when the service is good. ②Mr. Lynn’s studies also indicate that male customers increase their tips for female servers while female customers increase their tips for male servers.①What’s more, consumers seem to forget that the tip increases as the bill increases. ②Thus, the tipping system is an open invitation to what restaurant professionals call “upselling”: every bottle of imported water, every espresso and every cocktail is extra money in the server’s pocket. ③Aggressive upselling for tips is often rewarded while lowkey, quality service often goes unrecognized.①In addition, the practice of tip pooling, which is the norm in finedining restaurants and is being more mon in every kind of restaurant above the level of a greasy spoon, has ruined whatever effect voting with your tip might have had on an individual waiter. ②In an unreasonable oute, you are punishing the good waiters in the restaurant by not tipping the bad one. ③Indeed, there appears to be little connection between tipping and good service.31. It may be inferred that a Europeanstyle service___________.[A] is tippingfree[B] charges little tip[C] is the author’s initiative[D] is offered at Per Se32. Which of the following is NOT true according to the author?[A] Tipping is a mon practice in the restaurant world.[B] Waiters don’t care about tipping.[C] Customers generally believe in tipping.[D] Tipping has little connection with the quality of service.33. According to Michael Lynn’s studies, waiters will likely get more tips if they ___________.
