Studies in restaurants show that the tips left by customers who pay their bill in cash tend to be larger when the bill is presented on a tray that bears a creditcard logo. Consumer psychologists hypothesize that simply seeing a credit-card logo makes many creditcard holders willing to spend more because it reminds them that their spending power exceeds the cash they have immediately available.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the psychologists' interpretation of the studies?
94. Studies in restaurants show that the tips left by customers who pay their bill in cash tend to be larger when the bill is presented on a tray that bears a credit-card logo. Consumer psychologists hypothesize that simply seeing a credit-card logo makes many credit-card holders willing to spend more because it reminds them that their spending power exceeds the cash they have immediately available. Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the psychologists’ interpretation of the studies? (A) The effect noted in the studies is not limited to patrons who have credit cards. (B) Patrons who are under financial pressure from their credit-card obligations tend to tip less when presented with a restaurant bill on a tray with a credit-card logo than when the tray has no logo. (C) In virtually all of the cases in the studies, the patrons who paid bills in cash did not possess credit cards. (D) In general, restaurant patrons who pay their bills in cash leave larger tips than do those who pay by credit card. (E) The percentage of restaurant bills paid with a given brand of credit card increases when that credit card’s logo is displayed on the tray with which the bill is presented. 答案是B
这道题本身逻辑就比较乱,个人觉得 原文: 研究表明:the tips left by customers who pay their bill in cash tend to be larger when the bill is presented on a tray that bears a credit-card logo. 【当用带有信用卡logo的托盘给用现金付款的顾客呈现他们的账单时,他们往往会付更多小费。】 注意这里只是单方面的,没有说付少的情况,也没有指明这是财务状况好还是坏的情况,支也支持专家“看到logo多付”的结论
专家结论:simply seeing a credit-card logo makes many credit-card holders willing to spend more because it reminds them that their spending power exceeds the cash they have immediately available. 【仅仅是看到信用卡logo就会让很多信用卡持有者原意付更多,因为logo提醒他们他们的支付能力比他们手上可支付的现金要多】 1、专家结论也没有说这是光针对财务状况好的人; 2、注意remind后提醒的是“他们的支付能力超过他们的现金(支付能力)”,注意人专家的结论不是说信用卡Logo仅中立地提醒顾客的他们的信用状况
看到这,我当时想的结论就是信用卡Logo提醒顾客他们有比实际大的支付能力,所以多付
所以看到B项,Patrons who are under financial pressure from their credit-card obligations tend to tip less when presented with a restaurant bill on a tray with a credit-card logo than when the tray has no logo. 【有信用卡财务压力的顾客看到托盘上的信用卡logo后会比没有logo时付的小费少。】 我的想法是:明显与“看到logo多付”这一事实及专家也支持的结论以及“超过实际的支付能力”这一专家结论违背。 有人说现实上说不过去。我觉得现实上即使我有信用卡压力,也不能否定“我有信用卡后支付能力>无信用卡的现金支付能力”这一既定事实,这个暗示有点绝对了,君不见以前无们办公室小姑娘刷卡那叫一个暴啊,她们哪个没有信用卡压力,照刷不误,几张卡里倒呢。
credit-card logo makes many credit-card holders willing to spend more because it reminds them that their spending power exceeds the cash they have immediately available. 这一句是专家对那个研究结果的解释,那么要让这个解释合理必须要让“信用卡标识对持卡人支付意愿有影响”这样一个前提成立,不管是正面影响也罢,负面影响也罢。 选项B举例证明了“信用卡标识对欠钱的持卡人支付意愿有 ‘负面’ 影响”,这个影响存在就能对前面的解释给予支持虽然不是正面的支持,相对而言B就是最好的了。
俺觉得逻辑题,应该从简单想起... 题目论点: credit-card logo makes many credit-card holders willing to spend more because it reminds them that their spending power exceeds the cash they have immediately available.
