The conventional wisdom is that tips both【C3】______the efforts of good service and reduce uncomfortable feelings of inequality.【C4】______according to new research from Cornell University, tipping【C5】______serves any useful functions.

Tipping relieves【C17】______about being served by strangers. And, says Mr. Lynn, "in America, where people are【C18】______and expressive, tipping is about social approval. If you tip badly people think less of you." Icelanders,【C19】______, do not usually tip— a measure of their【C20】______, no doubt.
