Q9: B
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?
- The effect noted in the studies is not limited to patrons who have credit cards.
- 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 credit-card logo than when the tray has no logo.
- In virtually all of the cases in the studies, the patrons who paid bills in cash did not possess credit cards.
- In general, restaurant patrons who pay their bills in cash leave larger tips than do those who pay by credit card.
- The percentage of restaurant bills paid with given brand of credit card increases when that credit card’s logo is displayed on the tray with which the bill is prepared.
我搜索了以前的帖子,发现有一点大家都没有提到,在此说说我的理解:
短文中第一句话表明了用现金的人付的多;第二句话psychologist的假设中请注意“simply seeing”!, 即simply seeing 信用卡的标志使得持卡人多付。那末在选项B中正好说了“不simply”,即因为有财政压力,所以看到信用卡标志想起自己的财政压力就少付了
以上是我的理解,请牛牛们指正!如果大家已经讨论出结果了,请告诉我大家一致认可的结果哦,谢谢!
