My password became the sign．My password reminded me that I shouldn，t let myself be a victim of my recent breakup and that I was strong enough to do something about it．I made my password Forgive@h3r.

①You’re out for 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． ②Tipping, psychologists(心理学家）have found, can be affected by

The results were clear. The copycat(模仿者）waiters earned almost double the amount of tips to the other group．

⑤ 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，cab drivers，hair stylists，they found tip percentages in 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．
